The Unknown: The Fear That Follows You Home

The shift ended late. The office is closed. You're exhausted. All you want is the silence of your own bed.

But tonight, the dark streets are louder than they should be.

After working brutal overtime just to survive, the narrator begins a long, lonely walk home, his body heavy and his mind frayed. Every step forward is a step deeper into a terrifying reality where fatigue and debt blur into paranoia.

The hazy eyes see movement where there is none. The cold wind whispers promises of collapse. And soon, the simple journey home becomes a desperate fight against something unseen, something unsaid.

He knows, he believes, that nothing is really happening... but the Unknown is slowly, deliberately sucking away all his sanity.

Who is following him? What is that noise? And if the fear isn't real, why is it trying to kill him?

A chilling psychological descent into the modern fear of burnout, isolation, and the terror of your own mind.

Dark Thoughts by Luna_Lux_Sancta

There's something about 3 AM. A silence too deep, a darkness too thick. Even the birds in the ceiling know to hush when it arrives. A new home was supposed to be a new beginning. But the shadows are watching. The tapping never stops. And when she finally dares to look, she sees something she was never meant to see. Some thoughts are too dark to escape. Some whispers are too familiar to ignore. And some reflections should never be trusted...

Plucky Thoughtfullness by hungrylittlepotato

In the world we live in, thoughts get lost. Not because they want to disappear, but because we're too afraid to think them. Some are naughty, some forbidden, some simply unwanted. We don't want to think them. We can't. We don't have the time to. We're not brave enough. So we push them away, shift them to places where they're harder to find-far beyond what is allowed, desired, or considered good. But sometimes the mind takes a journey to visit them again. It vanishes for a while. But every traveler returns-often carrying even more baggage than they initially took with them. Dive into the hidden corners of the mind, where forbidden thoughts roam, fears linger, and unexpected freedom awaits. And dare to feel your thoughts with me. I promise to hold your hand.

Travel To Hell [ Not Edited] by uFiona

[ Note : this was my first story ever, it's really bad (you seriously don't know how bad it is, there is no grammar) and I'm still trying to edit/ re-write it, so if you want to read it then you have been warned. There is a new version, you can see it if you clicked on my profile ] Alex is a normal 18 years old girl, going to school, meeting her friends in the weekends, talking and chatting, all that is normal .. right? Meeting her friends on Saturday is also normal, but the thing that isn't normal is the things that happened. Her friends vanished just right in front of her eyes, not only them but everything was gone. Now Alex have to face a whole new world on her own to find a way to get out of this world. A world that looks like Hell but in many different ways. But the question is .... is that easy ?

Everbound by __reyyy1__

(SHORT CHAPTERS!!) I thought my life was normal-corporate deadlines, a sick mother, and bills I could barely keep up with. That was before the taxi that took me to the wrong street, the alley filled with whispers, and the spirits that only I could see. I'm Alexandra Raymond, but everyone calls me Alex. And apparently, I'm the descendant of a Guardian-an ancient protector bound to the Earth, whose bloodline carries a curse. Now, restless spirits follow me, secrets of the past claw at me, and a killer who blames me for generations is hunting me down. In a world where the living and the dead collide, I have to survive. And if I fail... I won't just lose my life. I'll lose everything. ⚠️ Warning: This story contains supernatural horror, violence, panic attacks, and mature themes. Reader discretion is advised.

The Original Poems by disorganized-galaxy

A collection of poetry, all written by me. Some of its kind of sad, and kind of dark. But it's all based, however loosely, on real life. A note before you read: I'm glad you're taking the time to read my poetry :). But before you do, I'd like to mention something. Recently I learned that some of my stories had been posted to another website-without my permission, which is illegal. So if you come across anything by me, @lilgalaxyclikkie, on any other website besides wattpad, please note that the original works on wattpad are the legal, original versions written by me. I was really annoyed when I found out about my stories-this really isn't cool. :/. "File:ORANGE Wattpad Horizontal Logo.jpg" by DesignStudio is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0

Twisted Love by Lark_Den

[Started Writing : 3rd August, 2023] "For fuck sake, leave me alone." I screamed out as tears commenced gathering in my eyes. He said nothing. He just sat there watching me lose my temper. "Answer me." I growled shooting daggers on his way with my eyes. "Be my girlfriend. You will get everything you lost." "I don't want to be." "You have no choice." Anastasia wants nothing but to get out of the hell hole called 'her life'. They say study hard and then you can earn money and have a good life. But despite having a degree in hands she was still jobless. When life was giving her bitter test then when a devil showed up at the door of her heart, dressed like an angel. The devil wants nothing but a favour from her while promising her everything she wants. Morally grey. That's the definition to construe Alex Vesper. Strict, rude, emotionless, focused and evil. He wants nothing but revenge from a certain someone who might have scratched his ego a little bit. And at that time Anastasia was the best option for him.

I feel your hands in mine by freddy_writersblock

So this is a spinoff to a book I'm writing. Because I'm still in school I won't be able to publish the book, so this might be confusing but I will explain it very shortly here: What you need to know about this world is that there are demonic creatures called the nightimps invading the human world since centurys. Because of that angelic creatures created new humans called the lightslayers to protect the normal humans. They gifted them with fantastical powers. They are called Lightslayers and live in the otherside (kinda like a diffrent dimension on earth) where humans and nightimps can't enter. They get their powers at a ceremonie (most times when they age14. !!This story is about Alex Heart and Clio Graves and how they find out about one of the ugliest secrets of the council (the council are the rulers of the otherside). The secret: Damian Grumpy. And Alex feels stronger about Damian then he should.!! You should probably also know about the shadowslayers. They are roge lightslayers and are led by Kennie Freebird a crazy psycho who wants hell for the human world. !!This is a queer love story so if you don't like it, don't read it. I hope you'll enjoy this story as much as I enjoy writing it. (Also I have dyslexia so bare with me here!)!!
