The walls breathe like they remember things.
Tenants whisper things they shouldn't.
A floor that doesn't exist keeps calling out to him.
Fazil can't stop noticing the inconsistencies.
What starts as paranoia unravels into something far stranger:
Signals. Patterns. Messages embedded in the walls.
Someone-or something-is trying to make contact.
Soon, Fazil realizes he's not just investigating an anomaly in the Glasswell Building-
he's unraveling a desperate message from the future.
You don't find the 13th floor-
it finds you.

Fault Lines
Some cities collapse from earthquakes. Others from the quiet decay of truth. When a coordinated string of attacks shatters Philadelphia: a bus hijacking, a plane emergency, a string of unexplained disappearances, the city's façade of order crumbles overnight. Dr. Anthony Sloan, an ambitious surgeon at University Hospital, becomes an unlikely first responder, pulled into a web of survivors whose wounds don't add up.

And Maria Santos, a captive nurse on the outskirts of Hallowgate, discovers the truth behind her pregnancy: twin sons engineered for the same secret that's consuming the city. As chaos spreads, from the blood-soaked tarmac to the sterile corridors of medicine, these strangers edge closer to the same revelation: The violence here isn't random. It's research. In a world where biology and belief are weapons, Fault Lines cuts beneath the skin of progress itself; unearthing how far a system will go to perfect the human race... and how easily it can break the ones still trying to save it.

It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That WhispersComplete

Beneath the Shadowlanders
We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.Complete
