In the darkness, every truth comes to light.
A freeway service station. In the middle of nowhere.
This is where a group of strangers meet as a solar eclipse darkens the land. But this eclipse is different. The light doesn't come back, not after 5 minutes, not after 5 hours.
In addition, there is no longer any connection to the outside world, as the landline network is down and cell phones no longer work. But this is not the hardest test: in the eternal night, inexplicable anomalies and monstrous machine creatures await the strangers - and a confrontation with their own terrible secrets.
Cut off from the outside world, a bloody struggle for survival begins under a black sky.

Beneath the Shadowlanders
We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.Complete

The Forgotten Trails
Eighteen people arrive at a remote mountain lodge - couples, friends, strangers- each drawn by different reasons: a vacation, a retreat, a break from life. None of them realize they've been lured there by something deeper than coincidence. Something ancient. Something waiting. As a snowstorm seals them in, unsettling events begin to unravel their reality. Hallucinations. Shifting memories. Sudden violence. The lodge becomes a trap, and one by one, they begin to fall - victims of forces none of them can explain. But this isn't the first time. Though they don't remember it, they've all been here before. In other lives. Other versions of themselves. And each time, the outcome is the same. There is a reason they keep coming back.

And he's determined to win. * * * * * * Excerpt: "Shit-shit, shit!" Dax hissed, forcing his legs to move faster, lungs burning like fire. A swipe came down. Agony lit up his back as claws raked across his shirt, shredding fabric and skin in the same breath. Hot blood ran down his spine. He nearly stumbled but kept running, teeth grit against the pain. The chorus of roars rose around him, drowning out his own heartbeat. They were everywhere now-above him, behind him, closing in like wolves circling prey. Dax staggered into an open street, his vision tunneling. No way out. And then- Cover made by @broodinglonerComplete
