Haunted by the echoing silence of an ancient house, a man returns to confront the absence of a loved one. Each creaking floorboard and dust-laden sunbeam whispers of shared memories, amplifying the hollow stillness. He battles the oppressive quiet, a tangible weight of unspoken grief, yearning for a presence to fill the empty rooms. A phantom voice, a ghost of their past, questions if the quiet can ever again hold warmth and companionship. Driven by a fragile hope, he vows to transform the house from a tomb of memories into a sanctuary of shared life. He embarks on a journey to find "someone to stay," not just to break the silence, but to infuse it with the quiet symphony of shared moments, transforming grief into a promise of renewed connection and warmth.

Marked by Him
They said he was quiet. Cold. Unreachable. But I saw what they didn't - the obsession behind his stare. We weren't supposed to meet. We weren't supposed to touch. Now I can't breathe when he's near... and I suffocate when he's gone. Something about him feels ancient. Familiar in a way that makes my bones ache. I think I've known him before. And I think the last time, I didn't survive.Complete

The Inheritance
After the sudden death of her estranged father, a young woman inherits his crumbling, isolated mansion nestled deep in the fog-choked woods of New England. The house-an ancient, sprawling estate with rotting walls, endless hallways, and locked rooms that whisper-has been in her family for generations, each owner meeting a grisly end. As she attempts to settle the estate and uncover the truth behind her father's final days, she begins to experience nightmarish visions, voices in the walls, and waking dreams of her ancestors' violent pasts. She soon learns the house is not simply haunted-it is a vessel for a legion of demons bound by blood to her family line. Armed only with her father's cryptic journals, an occult grimoire hidden behind a false wall, and her own unraveling sanity, she must confront the horrors within the estate before the house consumes her soul like it did the others.Complete
The Purple Silk
In the villa perched on a windswept Mediterranean hill, the past never quite lets go. For Sarah, a visitor seeking quiet, the house is more than walls and windows - it is alive. It watches. It remembers. It echoes footsteps before they are taken, whispers names before they are spoken, and folds memory into the very air she breathes. As mornings bleed into nights, the villa's subtle hauntings draw Sarah into a web of color, sound, and silk - a purple scarf that appears and disappears, lavender dust that stains her fingertips, and corners of light that hold secrets. With the help of Ana, Nikola, Petra, and Jelena, she learns the old rituals that protect against echoes: salt on the windowsills, red thread on the doors, careful placement of mirrors. Yet even the oldest rites cannot fully contain a house that learns, anticipates, and remembers. When Sarah leaves the island, she carries the villa with her - in her shadow, in her memories, in the rhythm of her own footsteps. The Purple Silk is a story of haunted houses and human hearts, of memory and obsession, of the fragile line between leaving and being left behind.Complete
Whispers in the Walls
They told me the house was empty. That the boy I was supposed to care for wasn't real. Just a doll. Just a job. But then I heard things. Felt things. The whispers in the walls, the way the air shifted like someone was always watching me. I should be scared. I should leave. But there's something about him-something that keeps pulling me back. Maybe it's the loneliness in his voice. Or the way he lingers in the shadows, waiting for me to see him. All I know is... I don't think I want to run anymore.Complete
