Screenlife Stories

Blake grew up alone. Her only friends were the butler and maid that lived within the confines of her house. Her parents sheltered her from the world, they told her that evil lived beyond the stone walls of her Manor. So, unfortunately for her, she was kept inside the windowless stone walls of her home. Then, Blake's parents are killed by an unknown cause. Now granted with the freedom of her parents' passing, Blake must leave the only place she knows and venture out into the unknown in search of answers to why she was confined. Through her travels, she learns the meaning of sorrow, faith, love, kindness, and discovers a secret that had been hidden from her for all her life.

An original internet-horror thriller by Kishtika They didn't hack the school. They hacked consent. And everyone signed-because it looked like a perk. When a "Student Perks" app drops at Mara's elite-but-broke magnet school, it spreads like oxygen. One tap: perfect grades. instant status. dream internships. Nobody reads the terms-why would they? It's free. Mara reads them anyway. Buried in the fine print is a clause that turns her blood cold: conditional ownership of one (1) future regret-redeemable at the Company's discretion. Then, at midnight, a dead account posts a story: a black screen that says- "last seen online 3 seconds ago." Anyone who watches has 72 hours. Because watching isn't a curse. It's a signature. And the moment you "agree," the app starts collecting: first tiny losses-smells, jokes, faces-then the big ones: bonds, time, identity. Students begin glitching out of attendance. Names vanish from records. Parents forget their own children mid-sentence. The school keeps smiling like nothing is wrong. So Mara builds a secret resistance: The Terms & Conditions Club. Their mission is simple-prove what the app is taking, find the escape clause, and save the ones already signed away. But the deeper they dig, the uglier the truth becomes: the contracts are personalized, inherited, and engineered so that opting out feels impossible. To rescue the people the system is erasing, Mara may have to do the unthinkable- accept on purpose... and rewrite the machine from inside. © Kishtika., 2025 All rights reserved.
