In 1984 Texas, where the 'X' in Hexll County is as silent as the grave, a routine traffic stop plunges real estate agent and radio host Alex Midas into a nightmare that will last nine days-or an eternity.

Hexll County Jail isn't just another overcrowded facility in Sheriff J.D. Salazar's domain; it's the result of a decades-old bargain with forces that lurk in the shadows of San Padua. As Alex navigates a world where inmates disappear without a trace and sleeping might mean never waking again, he uncovers a web of corruption that stretches back to 1949, when Jail Administrator Tobias Williams made a deal that would forever blur the line between institution and inferno. The eerie whispers of La Llorona, the ominous presence of La Lechuza, and the malevolent shadow of the Donkey Lady are just a few of the folklore elements woven into the fabric of the town's dark history.

Surrounded by a cast of inmates each harboring their own dark connections to San Padua's supernatural underbelly-including Melanie Michaels, who transformed her trauma into power, and Vince, whose petty theft conviction masks deeper knowledge of the town's secrets-Alex discovers the dark bargain at the heart of Sheriff J.D. Salazar's twenty-four-year reign. This pact has transformed the jail from mere institution into something far more sinister, where the line between reality and urban legend is perilously thin.

Alex must solve the mystery of the jail's true nature before he becomes another forgotten prisoner in its haunted halls.

The Adventures of Alex Midas: Hexll County Jail blends institutional horror with supernatural elements to explore how systems meant to protect can become instruments of oppression, and how the most terrifying monsters often wear badges instead of fangs. Perfect for fans of Stephen King's The Green Mile and Gothic horror, where human corruption proves more dangerous than any supernatural entity.

The Masked Butcher: 100 Flags of Blood by FOXTROTDESTROYER2505
3 parts Ongoing Mature
Dexter, an amazing series, inspired this story to come to my vision! The TV Show is highly recommended! WARNING: This story contains elements that can lead to sensitive topics! Viewer discretion is advised. Dimitri Aleksandr, AKA Mark Matthews, a notorious international serial killer known as the Masked Butcher, is on the run after murdering over 500 people across more than 100 countries. Dimitri justifies his killings with a personal code that was created by his father, US Ambassador in Russia, Elijah Matthews: to hunt down those he deems/names "Unforgivable," and the "Higher-Ups" from ordinary people committing sins to powerful individuals in government, crime syndicates, and celebrities. His twisted upbringing-marked by the early and brutal death of his mother, his dark, mysterious past, and bullying of his dark desires, though a part of him still seeks love and understanding. After settling in Detroit with his sister and brother, Dimitri makes a risky move, infiltrating the Detroit Police Department's Homicidal Department as a crime scene technician. Here, he continues his brutal crusade, using his position to cover his tracks while eliminating those he believes are tainted by sin. As the Masked Butcher's killing spree intensifies, the FBI, CIA, and police across the globe tighten their pursuit, unaware of his true identity. Meanwhile, a new mystery emerges: a secretive serial killer, dubbed "The Archivist," begins leaving a trail of dead bodies. Bound by his code, Dimitri becomes obsessed with finding this new killer. Partnering with law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and Detroit Police, he works to uncover the Archivist's identity, all the while continuing his reign of terror. The story follows Dimitri's dark journey as he navigates his twisted moral code, evades capture, and plays a deadly cat-and-mouse game with those hunting him. Will he ever find peace, or is he destined to remain the Masked Butcher forever?

They swung open the cage door, cattle prods at full power, humming with electricity. The man lazily lifted his hands in surrender. "Now, now." He said softly. His voice was like velvet. "No need. I'll do as you please." The man in the cage said, his eyes straying to her. "You know what it is we want beastling." The man with the pale eyes said. The caged man shot him a glance, something dancing just below the surface of his calm, relaxed demeanor. The air in the room was electric. The man locked eyes with her, sending a shiver through her whole body. She felt like a rabbit in the jaws of a wolf- struggling, but doomed.
