**"The Watcher in the Dark"**
*by FG. Capote*
Ethan Bishop thought his new job as a night security guard in the affluent, gated community of Nautical Heights would be easy-a quiet post watching over wealthy homes. But as the nights wear on, strange things begin to happen. Shadowy figures move just beyond the edge of his vision, whispered voices call his name, and unsettling events blur the line between dream and reality. As paranoia grips him, Ethan must confront the possibility that something far more sinister than boredom lurks in the darkness, watching him from the shadows. Is it all in his mind, or has he become prey to a malevolent force beyond comprehension?
The more Ethan uncovers, the more he questions whether he can survive another night-or if the real horror lies in never being able to leave.

Paranoia
It started with a text. A number. A job that paid too much for doing nothing at all. All she had to do was live. Be watched. And never ask why. The cameras were set. The money came in. Silence was the only rule. But silence has a sound. And it follows her. Even now. People look familiar, but she's never met them. Her belongings shift when she's asleep. And sometimes... she sees faces in places no one should be. She ended the job. But the watchers never left. And the strangest part? No one remembers the company. Not even her friend who sent the text. There are no answers. Only eyes. Everywhere.
Forever In My Nightmares (Darkiplier)
"I looked around with a start as I woke up, the taste of iron in my mouth. Looking down at my hands, I realized they were covered in blood and my gut twisted. Was it mine, or someone else's? When did I do this? I wondered if the nightmare I'd had the week before was a warning that this would happen. I needed to figure out what was going on. But how could I do it when I was blacking out every second?" When Mark starts blacking out and waking up in random places, having unknown nightmares, and disturbing violent thoughts, he fears that Darkiplier could be on the rise. Fearing everything he's ever known and loved is at stake, he tries to save himself and his friends through isolation. However, when his darker feelings start hitting to close to home, he begins to question himself and his own actions. He had to save everyone from himself, even if it meant war.

Now, it returns with friends, plunging the small town of Woodbury into chaos. Isolation becomes survival as twisted nightmares stalk the streets. Lock doors, bar windows, and prepare to fight.

Escape
I quickly grabbed my keys and left the apartment to head towards my car. It was already dark outside, but it wasn't cold, I didn't need a jacket. I got in my car, and put the key in the ignition, when I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a pair of brown eyes. My eyes went wide, but I couldn't even blink before he laced his fingers around my throat from behind. A scream wanted to leave my lips, but he put his other hand over my mouth to muffle it. His lips ghosted over my ear as he whispered: "I wouldn't do that if I were you, Lucy."
