Beneath My Skin
Some things live where no one can see them. For as long as she can remember, she has carried a quiet emptiness inside her, a hollow weight that no one else notices. But when a shadow crosses the line from the mirrors in her room into her reality, everything changes. It is not just a presence-it is alive, learning, reaching, and it knows her better than she knows herself. What begins as subtle movements and whispers grows into something she cannot control. Reflections act independently. Objects move on their own. And the shadow begins to follow her outside, touching the world in ways no one can explain. Haunted by fear, loneliness, and the creeping knowledge that it is becoming a part of her, she must face the question no one can answer: is it a part of her mind, or has something real stepped beneath her skin? Beneath My Skin is a dark, raw, and emotionally charged psychological horror, a story about the things that hide inside us, the shadows that follow, and the fragile line between ourselves and the darkness we carry.
Whispers in the Walls

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
