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.

Ghosts and ethereal apparitions became her companions, while the looming specter of death itself held an unyielding presence in her life.

Hauntingly, she foresaw her own mother's fate, the grim prophecy manifesting just days before its fulfillment.

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?

It's Somewhere Beneath Us by Ink_Wielder

The house is safe. The hills outside are not. The basement is out of the question. Joel has been trapped in the house for what has felt like an eternity; all hope of escaping lost after the first few years. Without the company of the eight strangers who arrived with him, he would have gone mad long ago. But while living in the decrepit building is taxing, nothing could be worse than the thing downstairs. Everyone is content to just live in the six rooms that they know are safe until Joel learns that there may be something below. Something other than the creature that torments them. The house goes deeper, further down into the darkness. And while travelling through the unknown halls may be dangerous, and the thing downstairs is always following close behind, Joel is determined to find a way out of the nightmare he's found himself in; for his own sake, but more importantly, the sake of the people he loves.
