Imagine being bound to your biggest nightmares and fears. Fourteen-year-old Randy Matheson realizes something strange has been following him for a long time, hiding in his very own shadow and dreams. At first, he thought he might've gone crazy; after all, aren't imaginary 'friends' only for little kids? But this is different. This shadowy figure seems determined to communicate with him.
What does it want from him? Why him? Only heaven knows how he hasn't gone insane-yet. Now, it's time for Randy to uncover the name of this being and its true intentions.

Blue Cries
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.Complete
