The Call of the Woods by CharasmaThuvasery

In the heart of an ancient forest, a young boy named Ethan vanishes without a trace, leaving his mother, Sarah, desperate and heartbroken. As she embarks on a harrowing search through the dark woods, she uncovers chilling secrets that threaten not only her sanity but the very essence of her soul. Haunted by whispers of lost children and pursued by a malevolent entity known as The Hunter, Sarah discovers that the forest itself is alive with darkness, preying on her deepest fears. Every shadow holds a twisted reflection of the past, and as she fights to save her son, she must confront the terrifying truth of what lies within the woods. With the clock ticking and hope waning, Sarah unearths ancient rituals and protective charms, but the forest seems determined to keep its secrets buried. As she delves deeper into its nightmarish depths, she learns that love can be a beacon of light in the darkest of places-but it may not be enough to shield her from the horrors that lurk beyond the trees. In *Whispers of the Lost*, a mother's unwavering love is tested against the shadows of despair, as she race against time to rescue her son from the clutches of an unimaginable evil. Will she find Ethan before it's too late, or will she become just another lost soul in the dark?

The Darkness in the Light by djscloud

For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness. It isn't overly mature... there isn't much explicit language or sexual scenes, but there is a bit of violence, so just keep that in mind... and despite all that negativity, ENJOY!
