Harriet has always carried the weight of her family's troubled past, especially the loss of her mother. As the story moves forward, her behavior starts to change in strange ways, and her best friend, the narrator, begins to sense that something is off.

As the story deepens, it touches on important themes like family secrets, and the complicated nature of friendship. All of this builds up to a surprising twist that changes everything the narrator thought she knew about Harriet and their friendship.

Steady Ground | ✔ by ToriHope-

He's damaged. He's lost. And worse of all, his memories have come to life. If he wants to find peace, he'll need to redefine what it really means to move on. -- For the first time in years, Atlas feels like he's separated himself from the misfortune in his life. He's healed, he's rented a decent apartment, he's settled into a solid-enough-for-him job working as a grunt for some scientists. Now he's (reluctantly) traveling to the spring snows of Alaska, where they plan to test the first run of their earthquake-harnessing technology. But something goes wrong. They don't harness the energy of an earthquake. No. Instead, the ground rips apart. A massive crevice forms, leading deep into the Earth. The chasm lulls him forward like a Siren, telling him tales of his mother, of her laughter, of her scent of strong sandalwood, and of his life before her death. Waking up in what he can only describe as Hell, he's confronted with every misfortune in his life. Forced to befriend mirages made from his most painful childhood memories or pay severe consequences, he travels the twisted realm in search of answers.

The Killers Stories[Demo] by clownycoffiny

This anthology plunges readers into a series of gripping and sinister tales, each unraveling a unique story of murder and descent into darkness. From the unraveling of friendships marred by twisted secrets in "Murderer Secrets" to the corrosive power of betrayal in "Dark Path Road," every narrative explores the thin line between humanity and monstrosity. These short stories vary in intensity, some subtly eerie and others shockingly brutal, drawing the reader into worlds where morality is lost, and the killers' psyches take center stage. But these are only the beginning. The collection features many more chilling tales, each distinct yet equally haunting. With plots ranging from calculated revenge to the harrowing consequences of guilt, every story promises to leave readers unsettled and craving the next dark revelation. This is not just a book-it's a labyrinth of fear, secrets, and the darkest corners of human nature.
