The echoing grave
The Echoing Grave is a chilling tale set in the heart of a desolate village, overshadowed by an ancient cemetery shrouded in mystery. For centuries, the locals have whispered about an unmarked grave known only as The Echoing Grave, said to hold a tormented soul. Legend claims that anyone who dares to speak near the grave after sunset will hear their words repeated-distorted, malicious, and laced with cryptic warnings. The story follows Elena, a skeptical journalist, who arrives in the village to debunk the legend. Armed with nothing but a recorder and her doubts, she ventures to the grave at twilight. She speaks a few innocuous words, but what answers her is far from ordinary. The voice mimics her tone but twists her sentences into grotesque threats and unnerving secrets about her past-things no one could possibly know. As Elena delves deeper into the mystery, she uncovers a harrowing truth: the voice belongs to a vengeful spirit trapped by an ancient curse, and its power grows with every word it hears. The more she investigates, the closer she comes to unraveling her own connection to the grave-a link that could cost her not only her sanity but also her soul. The story builds to a terrifying climax as Elena realizes the only way to silence the echo is to confront the grave's dark history, even if it means becoming a part of it forever. The Echoing Grave explores themes of guilt, obsession, and the haunting consequences of uncovering truths that were meant to stay buried.Complete

Her

Then girl likes girl. Could she like her back? Two girls. One story. _____ "I like: The soft side underneath her tough side. Her mind. Her wit. Her cute awkwardness. The way she bites her nails. The way she dresses, like a 90s character, like someone in a movie. The way she smells, like mint, spicy but sweet, like her personality. Her green, serious, sexy eyes. Her laugh. Her name. Her hand in my hand. The stars on her face. The X on the back of her neck. I want to make her laugh all day, want to say her name, whisper it, scream it. Phoenix. I want to hold her hand, want to kiss all the stars on her face, and want to cherish the X on the back of her neck. I want to cherish her. I don't like: Phoenix."Complete
