The Ghost of The Lightner Museum by EvangelineNott

A time-traveling romance filled with ghosts and smut. Lilith Perkins is a girl lost in the modern world and the craziness of being twenty-something with no future in a fast-paced life. Taking a family vacation with her mother and sister in the oldest city of North America, she accidently lures in the haunting of a gorgeous ghost boy within a mysterious museum in St. Augustine, Florida at night. <-> ~•'° Preview °'•~ <-> Suddenly, the elevator lurched to an immediate stop. I snapped my head up to look at the doors. They didn't open. To my surprise, the buttons for each floor on the antique button board were all lit up at once. The lights flashed once before shutting off, leaving me standing in the darkness. I cursed aloud and began pressing buttons quickly. Had the elevator really just broken down?! "Hello!?!?" I shouted out. Hopefully, someone downstairs could hear me and go get help. I pressed the red emergency button several times, yet the lights never came back on. "Fantastic." I muttered dejectedly as I slumped back against the wall. The air suddenly dropped down to a freezing temperature, and I saw my breaths come out in light gusts of white. My eyes had begun to adjust to the darkness, and I looked around the empty space of the elevator with a feeling of trepidation. Was it....was it back? Here? Inside the elevator with me? I stood back up to my feet and shouted again in anxiety this time, "Hello, can anyone hear me! I need help!" All at once, an ice-cold hand clamped over my mouth. A body pressed up against me that I couldn't see at all. My heart lurched in fear at the weight of it, even though I was looking at the other wall of the elevator perfectly. "Shhh." A voice whispered next to my ear. The invisible hand slowly left my mouth. Then there was a kiss. An invisible, freezing cold kiss.

The Demon of Saint-Eli by riversmelodie

When a young devout woman seek out his help, the mysterious private investigator Simeon Engels knows that something peculiar is happening behind the masquerade of the town's most powerful man. But he will need to be careful... for justice can very easily be mistaken for bloodlust. The first ever short story of mine to earn a Mature filter (as it typically makes me uncomfortable to write dark and gritty stories), and, another first, one completely outside of the universes of my previous stories. It's completely standalone, with its own mythology and fantasy/realism rules, etc. Which made it even more so liberating, as I no longer needed to stick within an existing continuity in terms of what's possible and what's not. The Demon of Saint-Eli is the introduction (in an hopefully long collection of short stories) of an OC that I have come to love the concept for months: Simeon Engels, the mysterious private investigator that hides a greater secret than anyone could ever guess. At first wishing it to be a Victorian/film noir hybrid, I changed it instead to a steampunk setting, that allowed a greater range of what could be integrated in the story. Overall, I hope you enjoy this story. I hope to make it into a collection of stories revolving around the adventures and character development of Simeon Engels, and I hope that you will find him as interesting as I conceptualize him to be. 9th May 2021: this story is now part of a sale of art for charity.
