The city exists only during the day. When night falls - it disappears from the face of the earth, and people "reboot" in another place without knowing it. They do not remember the previous cities - everyone has only a feeling of "deja vu".
One day, a teenager retains his memory through the night. He begins to see the errors of reality: inconsistencies in familiar streets, strange faces, inscriptions in the air. And finds out that their world is a labyrinth created to hide some kind of disaster.

THE HAUNTING TRUTH-I
An old folktale that was just a bedtime story to many children who love the taste of murder-mystery or fear. In other ways, the best remedy is to put their children off to sleep.

Everything disappears to dust and there's no way that you can retrieve the real facts because it's too late. This story is not about quantum reality but a folktale which was said to be just a bedtime story turns out to be a reality in this small town known as Brightbury located in the countryside to the east of London, blessed with magnificent waterfalls and nature is always grateful to the people of Brightbury. But, even though it's blessed with the beauty of nature, the town shares a dark history that was buried by the government to tackle the financial crisis. Everyone knows the truth but no one can reveal it to any tourist. Not every story has a happy ending or sad ending, but everything is just a mystery. Well, this story will reveal the mysterious scenes which are highly depicted in the past. The whole town experiences the pain of suffocation as the truth is finally revealed to the world but the question is do the town suppress the truth or does the world aides them to safety? It's not easy to trust anyone in this story, but how the world works is different. The truth, the betrayal, the hope, the friendship, the trust, the loyalty, and everything is shattered due to some folktale. They say it haunts children but as an evolution of the world is possible, the evolution of monsters is possible. Things are not the same as it was but the question of the story is will they survive or perish?Complete

The Girl The River Refused
Hidden Fangs is the kind of town where girls disappear. The kind of town with whispers about vampires, werewolves, and a cursed river that never gives back what it takes. Amanda should have died when she was thrown into that river. Instead, she wakes in a hidden sanctuary of priestesses who tell her the truth: She was meant to be a sacrifice. For centuries, the town has traded one girl a year to the Night Realm to keep the monsters away. But Amanda survived. And now the King of the Night himself has come to collect what the town owes. The problem? He's far more interested in Amanda than he should be. Nothing is more dangerous than catching the attention of a king who has ruled the darkness for centuries.
