Blue Cries by Shawori

This story was not simply written... it was dreamed. One night, I (Shawori) saw it unfold in my sleep-so vivid, so suffocating-that when I awoke, I had no choice but to trap it in words before it disappeared. I am the main writer, but I was not entirely alone. My friend, @Moragene12 , designed the haunting cover and whispered eerie fragments of ideas that sank into the shadows of this tale. Together, we gave the dream a shape... and a voice. Though fictional, fragments of it may feel disturbingly real. If you recognize something within these words, perhaps the nightmare has already found you. 👁️ ⚠️ Warning: This is a horror tale. It does not end when you stop reading-it waits, quietly, in the silence of your room. Read softly. Read slowly. And whatever you do... don't look over your shoulder.

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.

And then, the inexplicable occurred - her own figure materialized within the confines of her ominous predictions. Confronted with the realization of her impending doom, Anleane's fight for survival intensified, a desperate attempt to defy the very destiny she once foretold. Amidst the relentless shadows of her cursed ability, Anleane grapples with a question that consumes her every thought: Can she, against all odds, outwit the clutches of the inescapable, or will she become yet another victim to the merciless hands of fate?

Creatures lurking in the shadows. As they fight to survive, the truth behind their captivity begins to unravel-one horrifying piece at a time. Betrayals. Secrets. A fate worse than death. Some nightmares don't end when you wake up. Will Adrian and his friends escape? Or will they become part of something far darker than they ever imagined? I want to give a special thanks to my best friend & chosen sister. She helped write Chapter 3: Jade & she was my inspiration & motivation to finish writing. I hope you enjoy!
