    When a routine San Diego trolley ride slips into another century, realtor Jennifer Ruiz becomes the newest target of a living, interdimensional rail system known only as the Underneath. The trolley flickers, shifts, and chooses-pulling passengers into a twisted version of Old Town where shadows hunt and time folds like paper. Retired Navy vet Shone Morales captures the impossible on his drone: the trolley vanishing from reality, then returning as if nothing happened. Drawn together by the same haunting phenomenon, Jennifer and Shone discover the truth-this trolley isn't malfunctioning. It's alive. It's hungry. And once it notices you, it never lets go. As the Underneath tightens its grip, the two must navigate shifting tracks, ghost stations, and a sentient rail system that wants to merge with them forever. The trolley takes people. And now, it wants them both.

    俺 ﹪ ◟ spitkn0t just posted ! ⤫ beep beep! ☺︎ book 𝘁𝘄𝗼 ▬▬▬▬▬▬ 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚠𝚊𝚖𝚙 𝚑𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚜 ▬▬▬ ☆ 𓊘 In the bayou of Louisiana , nestled between the cypress trees and murky waters, lived a newly settled devout Christian family of three, from the levees of Mississippi . The Wisp household was rooted in faith, filled with prayer, scripture, and gospel songs echoing through the walls. But their youngest daughter, 𝐀𝐝𝐚 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐩, never felt the same pull toward the Word as her parents did. Her heart wandered elsewhere-curious, doubting, quietly rebellious. One morning, walking through French quarter with her mother and their neighbor, she was stopped by a older lady whose eyes were hard and sharper than a knife who spoke to her. The swamp started to whisper and play soft tunes Low growls echoed through the trees. Shadows stretched too far. Whispers clawed at the edge of her dreams, and a name hung in the thick air: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫. As the line between the natural and supernatural began to blur, Ada encountered a wandering spirit-neither angel nor demon-who offered to help her. But the spirit warned: time was running short. The Tall Man was coming, strumming a cursed melody that could pull her soul straight into the depths. To survive, Ada must uncover the truth about the spirit world, confront the darkness she unknowingly invited in, and decide whether the faith she once dismissed holds the only key to her salvation. ▊ ★ ゚⟴ ݊. 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 ▬ ཐི♡⃟͚̊ཋྀ ⭏ ₉ ㌐ ₀₀ ★ ▬ 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 ⤫ 𝙜𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙘 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙣

    Trapped beneath a corpse with a monster still breathing beside him, Raiden writes a letter he knows will never be sent. What begins as an apology becomes a confession-of missing men, broken loyalty, and a violence that awakened something far worse than any rival gang. As the truth unfolds, one thing becomes clear: some sins don't follow you out of the dark. They wait. A short, standalone horror story about guilt, consequences, and the price of surviving.

    Synopsis - The Wicked In a world where shadows linger a little too long and whispers follow the wind, a troubled young boy named Kai drifts between isolation and reality. Burdened by the scars of a broken life, he finds himself slipping further into the depths of despair-until one night, something ancient awakens. Drawn to Kai's pain, a powerful and malevolent force known only as The Wicked makes its presence known. With glowing violet eyes and a voice like distant thunder, it offers power... and something far more dangerous: understanding. From that moment, nothing is the same. Haunted by visions, hunted by secrets he doesn't yet understand, and stalked by those who fear what he's becoming, Kai begins a journey where trust is fleeting, truth is twisted, and survival means facing the darkness within. But as the lines blur between who is the host and who is the master-one question begins to rise above all: What does The Wicked really want?

    It was supposed to be an easy overnight shift. Her first night at the Holloway Inn. Simple. Quiet. Nothing strange. But the moment Elise clocks in, the air feels wrong-heavy, watching, aware. Then a woman appears on the lobby couch without ever walking through the door. Blank eyes. Still body. No answers. And that's only the beginning. Something prowls the boiler room. Something watches from across the street. And Elise's ex-the man who drained her dry and broke something inside her-keeps showing up where he shouldn't be. Alive. Uninvited. Wrong. Every hallway bends a little too far. Every corner hides a breath she didn't hear. Every exit leads her deeper inside instead of out. The Holloway Inn doesn't want guests. It wants witnesses. And Elise is trapped until she learns what's really feeding in the dark. If you love slow dread, empty-eyed strangers, liminal horror, supernatural tension, and stories that feel like a nightmare you can't wake from... welcome to the Holloway. You can Check in, but don't expect to leave.

    The Forgotten Name Is a psychological horror tale set in a town that exists outside the boundaries of reality. The protagonist, a man burdened by a tragic past, finds himself trapped in a place where time is stagnant and memories are elusive.

The name that no one dares to speak is the key to this supernatural nightmare, and the more he learns, the closer he comes to the dark force that holds them all captive. In a desperate race against time, the protagonist must uncover the mystery of the forgotten name before it consumes him, unraveling his very existence. A haunting journey of identity, guilt, and the consequences of the past, The Forgotten Name will keep you questioning what is real-and what is a nightmare.
