Devon dragged himself through the front door, each step heavier than the last. His body throbbed with pain, his mind dull after enduring yet another day of relentless bullying. He didn't hear his mother calling from the kitchen, nor the wind chimes tinkling softly on the porch. The world felt distant, muted.
All he wanted was his bed - a place to collapse, to vanish into a sleep where no one could reach him. He slipped into his room, shut the door, and fell onto the mattress, the familiar scent of the sheets wrapping around him like a shield.
But as his eyes closed, something shifted. The air thickened. The quiet felt too deep. The bed beneath him... breathed, as though it were alive, waiting.

The House That Whispers
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.

Decadent
My hand slaps against my mouth as I try to shut myself up. Don't make too much noise...or he'll hear you. A vehicle's door opens then slams shut. I don't hear footsteps...but as the minutes go by I begin to hear them; the footsteps get louder and louder and louder, matching the sound of my thundering heart. That's when I see his shadow cast over the ditch...over the place where I tried to hide. "Well," he says with a smile in his voice. "I wonder where he could've gone...the footprints stop here...so I wonder if he just...disappeared?" My body begins to tremble. I can feel it now. The pain. I can feel the pain already. He jumps down into the ditch...he stands directly in front of me, with his back facing me. My hand presses harder against my mouth as I try to suppress my whimper, but it's way too late now. But his body tenses up when he hears it. He laughs bitterly as he turns around slowly, and his eyes cut through my camouflage easily. "There you are."Complete
Becoming The Third
Prologue The darkness of the past loomed over her like a shadow, a constant reminder of the pain and suffering she had endured. Her mother's tears, her father's abuse, the toxic cycle of violence that had defined her childhood - it was a legacy she had vowed to break, but one that continued to haunt her. As she stood in the silence of her room, the memories came flooding back. The sound of her mother's sobs, the smell of her father's anger, the feeling of being trapped in a world that seemed determined to consume her. She had thought that she had escaped, that she had found a way to break free from the chains of her past. But the truth was, she was still trapped. Trapped in a cycle of abuse, trapped in a relationship that was slowly draining the life from her. She looked at herself in the mirror, and saw a reflection that was both familiar and foreign. The bruises on her lip, the fear in her eyes - it was a sight she had grown accustomed to, but one that still filled her with a deep sadness. She knew that she deserved better, that she was worth more than the pain and suffering she had endured. But the question was, would she ever be able to find the strength to walk away, to leave the past behind and forge a new future? The answer, she knew, lay in the unknown. It was a journey she would have to take, one step at a time, one breath at a time. And as she stood there, frozen in the silence of her room, she knew that she would have to find the courage to take that first step, no matter how daunting it seemed.Complete
The Awakening
He opened the door ignoring her further protesting. He steps out on the porch and, as the night air blows, takes a deep breath. He stepped down and his mom followed him out. "Trevor." She hugged herself in the cold night. "Mom. I need to... I have to see her." He makes his way to the car. "She's gone, Trevor. She's not coming back."Complete

The Mute Mate
Her fathers snores rumbled within the house but soon quieted as he awoke from his slumber. Abigail held the blanket closer to her and hid under it as her door was opened.

The next morning they would both be moving again to a small town in Wisconsin, US. New school. New people. New place. But one thing will never change... no talking. Ever.

Disturbing Hallucination
The flashing red lights danced through the broken blinds, staining the walls like blood. Olive stood barefoot on the carpet, toes curled in, watching the paramedics wheel her mother out the front door. The stretcher wobbled slightly on the cracked porch step, and the bottle of vodka her mom dropped earlier still rolled lazily under the couch. Her mom's eyes weren't open. Her lips were blue. Someone was yelling outside, but it all sounded like underwater noise. Olive didn't move. She didn't cry either. She had already done all of that-when she found her mom on the floor, face down in spilled soup and glass. When the 911 lady asked her over and over again if her mom was still breathing. The door slammed shut behind them. The sirens faded. She was alone again. The clock said 2:07 AM. The hallway was too quiet. Olive walked to her room, stepped over the laundry, and sat on her bed. Her journal was still open from earlier that day when she doodled a picture of a cat with wings. Now her hands were shaking. She picked up her pencil.Complete
