"The quietest lies are the ones we tell ourselves."




What if the only way to escape was to question everything you remember?

She remembers the gravel cutting into her feet, the gate closing on its own, and the thing in the woods that chased her through the dark. But when she wakes in the care of a kind old woman, those memories start to unravel-softened by comfort, blurred by tea and time.

Days turn into weeks. The pain fades. The fear feels like a dream. Until she finds the hidden room... and the journal with a single warning scratched into its pages: RUN. IT'S ALL A LIE.

Now, trapped between memory and madness, she flees back to the world she thought she knew-only to find that no one remembers what she's seen. The woods are gone. The house never existed. And the creature that haunted her may not just live in the shadows... it may live inside her mind.

HER REPLACED GROOM by Narrativenest

"You ruined me," I confess, my voice a rasp against her skin. "I can't fucking breathe without you. I can't think. I can't exist." My fingers trail down, skimming the curve of her hip. "And it's killing me." She trembles but doesn't push me away. Her silence is my undoing. I slam my hand against the wall beside her, caging her in, my breath ragged. "You want me to walk away? Tell me. Say it, and I will." Her lips part, but no words come. I let out a sharp, bitter laugh. "You can't, can you?" I tilt her chin up again, forcing her to meet my gaze. "Because you're just as ruined as I am." And then I kiss her. Hard. Desperate. A collision of everything we've denied ourselves. Because no matter how much I fought it, no matter how much I wanted to hate her- She's mine. And I'll burn down the whole damn world before I let her go.

Release Me by anna_rose01

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.

The Good Nightmare by rheotak

The once familiar world turned into a dark tunnel of mystery the day Kate heard the words "Kill her!" she shouted. "Yes...!!!" Yes...!!! Yes...!!!!!!!!! Well played!' Kate's eyes widened, and her skin turned pale; fright was written all over her face. She ran out, slamming the door. Uncovering the truth to her eight years of suffering, Kate has gone insane. Reminded of her trauma, she ran fast; her pace increased, and she ran and ran... to the near park until she was out of breath. Luckily the park is abandoned, so there wasn't anyone else besides Kate. "The cause of the traumatic experience is one's selfish desire... no... obsession!!" Kate sat at a corner on a bench, catching up her breath and trembling. She was sweating all over. She wouldn't stop shivering. The truth of that incident: her family tried to kill her? Why?!! Back then, eight years ago, that incident changed her life; the truth is harsher and fiercer.

The Taste of Iron by Easterhead

Humanity is struggling to survive in a world that's no longer theirs. Liv, a scavenger leading missions to the edges of the city for food, medicine, and iron, knows things are getting worse. Every trip feels more desperate than the last. Humanity has an expiration date-the forest, and the creatures that dwell there, just have to wait them out. When a mission turns out to be a trap and Liv wakes up on the wrong side of the tree line-alone, disoriented, and for some reason not dead-she learns the forest doesn't just kill people or take their souls. It changes them. She doesn't know what she's becoming. Only that it's something way stronger than what she was. And that killing things never felt this good. Murderbot meets The Cruel Prince-with a whole lot of psychological horror My entry for onc2025, based on prompt 125: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank Herbert

My Last Breath (Book one of The Portal Series) by Chinesechickens123

BOOK ONE: Having enough courage to run through the woods and away from the people who convinced me they were saving me was not how I believed I'd spend my day. Yet, there I went escaping from the only place I knew existed in the world. Being held captive was too much for me, especially when these people wouldn't tell me who they were or even who I was. The first moment in my life I recall very clearly. I awoke in a dark room, with recollection of everything that happened in the world except for one thing. I had no memory of myself existing, I didn't know where I was or why these men kept me from leaving. Days after I first woke I asked plenty of questions, and yet none of them were answered. The only thing I learned was that I was not allowed outside because the woods heald the most powerful magic on the planet, the most dangerous magic. It was more than just bad men and curiosity about the forest that got me to leave, it was a pull towards something; towards magic. Once I was in the forest turning back was never an option, so I put it in my head that I'd keep walking until I found a civilization or a nice paved road that would lead to safety. But that never happened because the forest has a force living through it. Believing that the forest held something strange was the easy part but experiencing it myself was something totally different. I didn't expect anything normal but I didn't expect to be completly engulfed into the forest. I was led by an unknown presence that made me truly believe it was a living being, and in fact it is. I was innocent then, but now I know that anything can be hidden under a small platform in the woods with a secret bigger than the world itself. I was given life that day, until it all ended months later; the day I took my last breath.

The Room with No Corners by AshesInBlooms

There is a moment before the dream begins where everything feels still. A breath held between worlds. In that moment, time doesn't move forward or backward-it waits. That's where I exist now. In the pause. In the static. I don't remember the exact day I started to vanish. Maybe it was slow. Maybe I was too quiet for the world to notice. They say the mind protects us from things we cannot bear. But what happens when the thing you're running from is yourself? Somewhere, there's a house that doesn't belong to any map. Its windows never reflect sunlight, and its walls curve so gently that you don't realize they're watching you. There's a girl in the mirror who looks like me, but she remembers things I don't. There's a bathtub filled with water so still it feels like a grave. There's a man I created-kind, warm, and perfectly not real. And there's a truth waiting at the end of the hallway. I'm afraid of it. But I think I've always known it. This story is not a confession. It's not a warning. It's just what happens when the silence gets too loud. And the corners begin to disappear.

... WHISPER BENEATH THE MIST... by avni_10

There is a town where no sound exists. And something is listening. When investigative journalist Tamara Anderson stumbles upon an isolated town shrouded in an unnatural, suffocating silence, they think it's just another strange mystery waiting to be uncovered. But the deeper they dig, the more disturbing the truth becomes-anyone who makes a sound vanishes into the mist, their voices returning as whispers in the night. The townspeople refuse to explain. They only warn: never speak, never break the silence. But the Tamara refuses to obey. As the fog thickens, they begin to hear voices-voices of those who are supposed to be dead. Something ancient and hungry is stirring beneath the mist, and the silence is the only thing keeping it contained. With time running out, they risk everything to escape. They break the silence. They flee. They survive. Or so they think. As they step into the world beyond the town, ready to scream for help, a chilling realization hits them like a death sentence- The world outside has gone silent too. --- Now marked by the very thing she came to expose, Tamara must unravel the town's terrifying secrets before she becomes the next to vanish. But in BLACKWATER , some truths are better left buried. Because once the fog knows your name... It never lets you go. ---

I turned around to see what he wanted. From the corner of my eye I saw his fist coming towards my face. I had no time to duck and was hit full force. Pain exploded behind my eyes and my vision went blurry. I started falling, but he caught me right before I hit the ground and picked me up. "I didn't want to hurt you." I heard him whisper right before I passed out.
