Detention
We held our breath as we heard footsteps enter the dark room. My heart raced and I covered my mouth to keep from screaming as tears ran down my cheeks. Caleb sat next to me, with obvious fear in his eyes. I knew that the desk couldn't hide us for much longer and that's what scared me the most. The footsteps came closer and they grew louder by the second. I held my breath once I heard the man's footsteps stop. Caleb and I exchanged looks as we sat frozen under the desk. I looked up, trying to listen to the man's actions. Then a gloved hand grabbed the edge of the desk and the man's bloody mask appeared in front of me. He stared at us and chuckled, "Found you." · · · Seven classmates find themselves in detention from breaking the rules at their school.

Love from a Comic Book
When a young woman meets a mysterious guy, she's drawn to him in a way she can't quite explain. There's an undeniable connection, but something about it feels off-like she's stepped into a world that doesn't quite make sense. The more time they spend together, the stronger the pull becomes, but so does the feeling that she's not the only one who's keeping secrets. He can't seem to let her out of his sight, and every moment with him feels like it's been pulled from the pages of a comic book, surreal and impossible. As their bond deepens, she begins to wonder: is their love real, or is it part of a story neither of them can escape?
Haunted School
It's all chill with thrills until the scary stories are based on true incidents! At least all the stories me and my classmates have been sharing do have relevance to reality. But that wouldn't mean my school is haunted! I mean, I did see someone walk pass by me but I couldn't find them when I turned back; and there was definitely no one walking behind me; neither was the door locked in the empty building nor were the students' headcount dropping in thin air. I'm sure there's logical explanation to all of it, right? Our school is obviously not haunted.... Right?
