At twenty, Norah Beckett awoke in a forsaken cabin, shrouded by an ancient, untouched forest. Every attempt to flee this secluded prison was thwarted by an invisible, malevolent force. Desperation and isolation gnawed at her sanity, as the air thickened with inexplicable phenomena. Shadows whispered secrets, and the walls seemed to breathe with a life of their own. Who could have imagined a ghost could be haunted? Who could have imagined she was the ghost?

She was ensnared in her own eternal solitude, condemned to wander the same rooms, reliving the same moments. The forest outside remained an impenetrable barrier, its silence mocking her every effort. Strange apparitions flickered at the edge of her vision, and the cabin's eerie stillness was punctuated by distant, mournful cries. Norah's existence became a relentless cycle of dread and despair, as she grappled with the horrifying realization of her spectral nature.

She was trapped in a purgatory of her own making, forever bound to the haunting echoes of her past.

The Second Stage by benjaminburkett
31 parts Complete Mature
A world unseen dies over and over. It shrieks at a pitch that you cannot hear. It rots with a stench that you will never quite know. It isn't a place meant for you and I, it is merely a bank for the dead and dying; a vault of visceral agony. It's function, origin and purpose are as cryptic and chilling as the vengeful spirits whose claws scratch and teeth rattle just beyond the thick, putrid mist that seeps over its endless surface. Yet, through all the horrifying and inexplicable unknowns, this place has one certainty: it doesn't take kindly to guests. Meredith Haynes fell into The Second Stage during a routine surgery she was monitoring. She scrambled through it's empty expanses and fled from the decaying demonic mockery of a human being. With good fortune and great agility for a woman her age, she escaped with both her life and sanity, a miracle should miracles exist. Anyone of sound mind would never return, and spend the rest of their days in the company of friends and nights in the company of bright lights. However, Meredith met someone she never expected to see again, someone that might remove her from the ranks of those well advised souls that would never return. Now, in the days of silence thereafter, her mind wanders back to the one thing that might convince her to return, the one thing that will convince her to return. But what Meredith doesn't yet understand, is that the Second Stage has no windows, no entrances and no exits, for it accepts you when it wishes and releases you when it's finished.

The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]
