On a desolate island shrouded in mist, the imposing St. Trinity's Sanatorium stands as a fortress of despair. When sixteen-year-old Claire is sent there by her family, she believes it is a last-ditch effort to cure her crippling anxiety and episodes of detachment. But soon, she discovers that the sanatorium harbors dark secrets far more terrifying than her own inner demons.

Within the labyrinthine halls of the sanatorium, Claire encounters patients whose eyes are hollow and haunted, whispers that speak of horrors in the night, and a staff whose practiced smiles conceal sinister intentions. As days turn into months, Claire's unease deepens, and the line between reality and nightmare blurs.

Haunted by vivid, blood-soaked dreams and an insatiable hunger, Claire begins to realize that the sanatorium's treatments are more than just unconventional-they are deadly. The other patients are not merely ill; they are transforming into something inhuman, driven by a thirst for flesh and blood. As the darkness within the sanatorium seeps into her very soul, Claire must confront the horrifying truth: the disease that ravages the island isn't just physical, but a curse that consumes both body and mind.

Hunger Within is a chilling tale of survival and madness, where the boundaries of humanity are tested and broken. As Claire fights to retain her sanity and humanity, she must navigate the treacherous corridors of the sanatorium, uncover the truth behind the horrifying transformation, and find a way to escape the island before she, too, succumbs to the hunger within.

The Hunt by PandaGoddess1213
6 parts Ongoing
Trapped in a mysterious school with no clear way out, students must navigate a web of danger, betrayal, and hidden secrets. Is escape even possible? The rules are simple: break them, and you disappear. But within these walls, students can turn against each other in the battle for survival. Every day is a hunt, a deadly game that begins the moment the bell rings. Classroom C-3041 students share a single desperate goal: escape. But when a brutal Hunt wipes out a significant portion of the school's population, their mission shifts-now, they must find new students to fill the empty seats, or face punishment. The problem? Students are hardly trustworthy. In a school where sanity is a luxury and loyalty is fleeting, who can they count on? Terrance, the reluctant leader of C-3041, must keep his class alive while facing threats from within and outside the classroom. The rumors of a hidden school map, that supposedly reveals the location of the exit, might offer a chance at freedom. But when they risk everything to search for answers in the forbidden library, they uncover a map- that doesn't lead to an exit but to untouched, mysterious corners of the school. It promises a clue, but what if it's not just the school they need to escape from-but their own forgotten past? As they delve deeper into the school's darkest secrets, Terrance and his classmates must confront their shattered memories, surviving not only the dangers lurking in every corner but the ghosts of betrayal that threaten to tear them apart. In this school, it's not just about escaping-it's about staying sane long enough to uncover the truth.
