Red October: The Blood Moon Rises by illusivePad

Fear has always been a part of man, it's innate as breathing, you have about as much control over it as a blink. You can hold it, but eventually the world comes to a close. Now what if some one, or rather some thing, carved themselves into your soul in such a way that it never leaves your blood, so that it becomes a part of you, a part of everything after you, a fear so deep that your children's children will never forget? Brunsworth has statisically faced surges of crime in October, eight years going on nine if anyone cares to listen. This year seems no different, and Detective Hale Joyner has the case files to prove it. A missing woman, a butchering on a once quiet city, a pair of feet with no body or blood in sight. It seems like any other month, but the moon is waxing and it's threatening to pour red unto the city. A story by 8 days.

One by one by WorthyReading

It wasn't very difficult to plan out my first victim. I watched them all day, studied their movements, listened to their conversations, and watched them fall asleep. The funny thing about it was that I was just a few feet away from them. But how could they have known? Why would they have to be scared for their lives when they were oblivious to how fast I could end them? When all goes wrong, nothing else can go right. A last week school field trip could cost you your life. But why think that way when the trip has yet to begin. When a group of five friends go on a school field trip to the woods, things seem normal until one of them goes missing.

~White Chapel~ by WaywardAuthor

I didn't think I'd be on the run at 16, with two friends and murder on our trail. A bounty over my head, and a race against the clock. I found out things about my self that I didn't think possible, but I guess the monster in the closet watching me was real after all. #1-#OriginalStory (1/10/2020) #1-#SamsDaughter (1/21/2020)

The Follower by LateNightStories12

Life has evolved and more technologies appeared. The internet is the main brain of these technologies, but that doesn't mean that it's safe. It is said that we are only using 10% to 15% of the entire internet, so where is the left of it that's the question. That's not the main point the point is how people could use the internet. Some could use it for social life, some could use it for doing research and some could use it to track you down and know every single move you do. They could hear everything, know your next destination. Maybe now you're being followed and tracked down by someone but you just don't know. Just as the characters in the story. The story is based on possible events that could occur in these days. Nobody knows what's out there on the internet, and what's in people's minds. Beware the internet, beware of the people around you, beware of the people you give trust to, beware of the mysterious follower that stalks you that is obsessed with you without you knowing. * Story chapters will be published one by one as a tv series to make the reading part easier and give more excitement to what's coming* Thanks for reading.

Out of the panic, an unthinkable menace arises-one that may kill all hope. Within this turmoil, Anthony hides a profound crisis behind his perfect facade, while Alma carries a heavy family secret. Faced with the fear that was taking over society and the break-up of alliances, both were thrown in front of the ruins of their world, where the lives they knew had shattered. From survival to sacrifice, "Countdown to Doom" places you in a world where such a question must be asked: just how far would you go when the end is inevitable to save what's left and protect those you love?
