Mature

In a secluded woodland mansion, a reclusive widower prepares to receive a visitor, a beautiful young artist commissioned to paint the man's dying portrait. 

Over an extended sojourn, host and guest will exchange glances, touches and accusations. They will undress not only the artist's naivety but also lay bare the corruption of the mansion's other inhabitants. 

But as the artist experiences a series of strange and terrifying events, slowly descending into madness, he discovers a horrifying truth. In a desperate bid for redemption, the artist seeks to banish the evil that lurks within-the painting, the house and himself. But will he be strong enough to resist the demons nipping at his soul, or will he succumb to the same fate as those who came before him?All Rights Reserved

The Last Whisper by Zora-Thorne

I wear a mask so well that even I almost believe it. Almost. Then I met him. His eyes were hollow, his smile a lie-just like mine. In him, I saw my own reflection, the same quiet suffering hidden beneath perfect façades. For the first time, I wasn't alone. But happiness is always fleeting. One moment, he was there. The next, he was gone. A fall from a rooftop. A life stolen too soon. Now, the world feels unreal. Shadows shift. Whispers grow louder. And in the corner of my vision, I still see him. If he's gone... why does it feel like he never left?

Losing Game by cha1nz

(TWs: gore, abuse, sexual abuse, cursing) Why does he still breathe? Why is he kept alive in this shadowed purgatory where time has no meaning, and screams are swallowed by the walls? His cell is a cage, his life a cruel experiment, and his mind a battlefield. Questions claw at him relentlessly: Who is he? What is he? Why does this torment exist? The walls bleed stories of others-lost souls whose cries still linger, haunting the air. His own voice has grown hoarse from endless screams, his body a canvas of scars, a map of suffering that tells no answers, only pain. Every day is a ritual of degradation, where faceless captors toy with his humanity, stripping him of it piece by agonizing piece. The only constant is the endless cycle of questions. Why him? Why the torture? What is their purpose? He clings to the faintest memories of a time before-fleeting images of warmth, love, a face he cannot quite recall. But even those are slipping away, devoured by the void growing inside him. In this relentless, suffocating darkness, where hope is a distant memory, only one question remains: When will the game end, and what will be left of him when it does?
