John Winston had a rough childhood. Traumatic experiences took a toll on his mind subconsciously, turning him into a ticking time bomb. John's dad walked out, his mother used mirrors to comfort him as she did drugs and the demonic rituals to hex John's Dad didn't make anything better. Now, 30 years later, John has become a scientist for a company know as Paralabs, where they study unearthly phenomenons. John has a weird obsession with mirrors but doesn't remember why. One night in the lab with a mirror triggers something that starts the process of John's fall. Is he being haunted, or has he just lost his mind?

Elena, John's wife, is supportive of John and his research, but slowly begins to resent him due to neglect and his obsession. To make matters worse, Elena begins to fall for Luke, a young man who she met through work. Things get hairy, and eventually all is exposed, sending John down a path he can not return from.

Researcher John begins his job working with the SCP foundation, having no clue of the horrors they are hiding. While John is working with this foundation, he learns many things. Some for the better, some for the worse. Whenever an alarm is set off, it's nothing much. That is, until it's much more than just "a pipe burst..." This was a rushed project I had to complete in under 9 months, so it might not be the best storytelling ever. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy! I do plan on making another book with the same characters. Not sure when, but I do imagine it will happen.

I was never meant to leave that room. I had spent my whole life in there, imagining what it was like on the outside. I looked forward to the day when I would finally be allowed to leave. But that day was never supposed to come. Until James decided to keep his promise. He had always been there, on the other side of the glass. Waiting. The experiment wasn't over. He was still waiting for me to change. But I didn't change. Not until that night. It was dark, and there was rain. The sound of the car engine was loud, but the crash was louder. In the crash, I became something different. I changed. But not for James. This new part of me emerged for one reason; to save her. This story is a first draft and will contain typos and grammatical errors. I apologize for these in advance, and hope you can see beyond them to the story beneath. Happy reading!
Species Unknown [Book 3: Canis] by fantasynote
22 parts Complete Mature
There's something lurking in the woods. Sent to investigate the rumors of human experimentation surrounding an esteemed genetics laboratory in the middle of the Northern California forest, Special Agent Anna Volkova quickly realizes that this new assignment has her in over her head. With women vanishing, and the townspeople deathly afraid of the woods blanketing the small town of Blackwater, she knows this area isn't nearly as innocent as it may seem. The forest is hiding something, and she'll do whatever it takes to find out what. What she doesn't realize, however, is how far some people will go to keep their sins, and everyone who knows about them, buried. ~*~ Sickening cracks of bone filled the once-silent room, accompanied by the rapid beat of my heart and his echoing cries of anguish. Without warning, his head snapped up, and I could finally see his face clearly. My breath caught in my throat. His once warm amber eyes faded, tainted with a blood red that slowly dominated his irises, painting a feral crimson gaze that was now focused entirely on me. ---------- A new chapter will be posted every Friday! (Set to be completed by October 2023) *WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM WORK IN PROGRESS*

MOTHERS by StephRose1201

AMERICAN HORROR STORY meets THE HANDMAID'S TALE with a bit of WESTWORLD weaved in Four women, fresh out of a super secret governmental experiment, are dragged back into the laboratory where they lived--to save the world from the specimens they helped produce. ***** It's 2050, and the world--in particular the not-so-United States of America--has undergone a lot of changes. A dictator who refuses to relinquish his presidential power reigns over the country, and humans--especially women--see their rights diminished more and more each day. Some are forced to enter special programs to stay safe from men who seek to harm them, and others accept to be part of freaky experimental trials in back-alley labs for a bit of cash to pay the rent. Four women who participated in one such trial--one *actually* sanctioned by the US government--are coping with their new lives when a member of said lab comes to find them, to let them know that the experiment they participated in has gone awry... and they are the only ones who can help fix it all. *TRIGGER WARNING for gore, violence (especially towards women, but NOT domestic abuse), oppression (to women, mostly), explicit language, possible sexual situations inappropriate for readers under 18. PLEASE DO PROCEED WITH CAUTION.*
PSYCHOLOGICAL TERROR by Samuel_orubuloye
1 part Ongoing
In psychological terror, one fateful encounter with a mirror game pushes Sarah's life down a vortex of terror. What was at first seemingly an innocent dare soon turned into a full-blown psychological nightmare where reality distorts, shadows whisper, and her reflection is no longer just a figure in the glass. Haunted by the twisted version of herself, Sarah must navigate the sinister game where each decision might lead her further into the abyss of her own mind. As the line between reality and nightmare starts to blur, Sarah is then pushed into the most ghastly truth: this was not just survival but a test of her immortal soul. With every step, she struggles not only with the dark presence in the mirror but also with the demons that dwell within her. The more she delves deeper, the more it dawns on her that the reflection is not just some haunting figure but part of herself. Sarah must embrace the darkest sides of her psyche to get out of this nightmare, or else she will never leave. Psychological terror is a chilling psychological horror into the terrifying powers of the human mind, the fragility of reality, and that thin veil between light and darkness. Chilling and eerie, this is one story that will leave you guessing what's real and what's just lurking beyond the glass.
