Do you like getting no sleep at night because of those haunting spirits that you read about? Do you enjoy the racing of your heart because of monsters that plague your dreams? Dark tendrils of fear will encase your heart and tug out your courage (if you had any at the start) and it will draw you into the mire of horror in the land of No Sleep.

Don't look behind you

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 Forgotten by AlexanderTottenThoma

I woke up in a dark room, I didn't know where I was. In fact I couldn't remember anything from last night, it was all a blur. My sight was a bit blurry but I noticed a picture. The picture looked a bit off I had no idea what it was but it gave the creeps. I looked around a bit more there wasn't much. I thought to myself "where am i?" I heard a creek I looked around and tried moving back but the fact I had no idea where i was creeped me out a bit more. another creek. "well fuck" I thought to myself. Co-editor/creator Izzy

Blessings From Above by Lets_Read_And_Chill

We often dream about living in a world far different from our own. It's nice to dream about it, after all reality is disappointing. To dream of having magic, being able to soar with dragons in a beautiful green forest. But that's all it is right? A dream.... Yeah. But not for me. I possessed the body of a fake saintess who was going to die when the real saint appeared later on in the story. This world is filled with magic. The history is so rich. But I don't wanna die! I just transported here. I don't wanna die just yet!

His Nightmare Queen (Pitch Black x Reader) by thedarklingqueen

People say that everyone has a past life that they don't remember - you included. But who believes in any of those tales of reincarnation anyway? You're wrapping up your final quarter of college, and you think all has gone by fairly normally. That is until you're approached by the King of Nightmares, who seems to know more secrets about your existence than you've ever remembered about yourself. However, he's shocked to find that you have no knowledge of him or any of his statements about royalty, ancient times, or mythical beings. Right when you thought you had the rest of your life figured out, you begin to question who you really are. In the meantime, what will the Man in the Moon or Guardians do when you and the Nightmare King meet? What will the kingdom's fearlings think? Will you decide to join Pitch and his throne after all, or will you resume your regular life away from the scene of legends as you had intended? And most importantly, who are you? I do not own Rise of the Guardians, Guardians of Childhood, you, or the artwork.

Little Nightmares: Dreamers Of The Maw by LadyEckland

Dive into the shadowy depths of the Maw, a chilling collection of eight stories that peel back the curtains on the darkest corners of this nightmarish world. Each tale invites you to experience the Maw through the eyes of those who dared to dream-and found themselves ensnared. 1. **The Dreamers' Descent** - Four researchers challenge the boundaries of reality, only to find themselves trapped in the twisted labyrinths of the Maw, where their experiment turns into a fight for survival. 2. **Echoes of Hunger** - A gaunt chef's obsession with perfection leads to horrifying culinary experiments. Discover what lies behind his mask and the grotesque meals he prepares. 3. **The Janitor's Watch** - Explore the life of the Maw's blind janitor, who uses the echoes of the corridors to capture any who stray too far from safety. His tale is one of loneliness and the desperate need for connection. 4. **Little Lost Lights** - Follow the flickering journey of a lost spirit, a remnant of a failed escape, seeking salvation among the living children still hoping to find their way out. 5. **The Librarian's Silence** - In the Maw's forsaken library, a once-avid scholar seeks forbidden knowledge that could either free her or bind her to the Maw forever. 6. **The Engine's Heart** - Deep within the bowels of the Maw, the engine room harbors a dark secret. A young mechanic uncovers the truth about what powers the Maw-and the cost of its hunger. 7. **The Nursery of Shadows** - A former caretaker recounts her eerie experiences with the ghostly children who play eternal games within the walls of the Maw's nursery. 8. **The Ferryman's Voyage** - A mysterious figure who ferries the lost souls across the shadowy waters beneath the Maw reveals his ancient origins and the true nature of his curse. Each story intertwines with the others, spinning a web of terror, mystery, and the slim possibility of redemption. Will you brave the dark?

Sweet Dreams by Soul_2002

Monsters are everywhere, but the human ones are the worst. At least the Creatures of the Night don't kid almost families, friends, neighbors, coworkers. Once reborn they live in the night. Sure, they do all of the same twisted things that humans do to one another, but they don't hide who they are. When you see them you know death is coming. You can predict the sick things they will do to you. But when the monster looks human, you're blindsided. One minute you're in love with a guy and the next he's slitting your throat. Trust me, I speak from experience. Gruesome things that use to make me sick now makes my stomach flutter in joy. I traded charming grins and blue eyes for carved smilies and orbs of onyx. I traded sunlight for the glow of the moon. I gave up living amongst humans for creatures of the night. And I wouldn't go back for anything in the world. I am finally home. I've spent so much time running from monsters that it's my turn to do the chasing. Sweet Dreams...

The Guardians: Seekers of Artifacts and Keepers of the Keys by SilentNovels

In the beginning, there was Nothing. Not even Darkness, just Emptiness. Then Life shone bright. Magic appeared and brought the universe with it. Creatures of Magic came to be. There was one creature that did not come from magic-the Human. As Humans evolved they discovered Magic. Humans who were able to use Magic became known as Magicians. The Humans would create objects that would collect Magic and become Artifacts. These artifacts have the power to wreak havoc on the entire universe if in the wrong hands. A group of Magicians banded together to collect these Artifacts and store them. Whenever the universe was in danger, a new team would form to become powerful Magicians and save the world. They are... The Guardians.

Kingdom of the Zodiac by SBLoveAuthor

The locals had warned me that no one in their right mind would enter the North Woods alone, not unless they had a death wish. It's a good thing then that I am not in my right mind. Fear had prevented me from returning to this place for years, but the nightmares depriving me of sleep threatened to steal what little sanity I had left, leaving me with no other choice than to confront the source of my apprehension. I was tired of pretending that everything was ok. That I was ok. I needed the nightmares to stop. But in order for that to happen, I needed to uncover my lost memories. The North Woods held answers, of that much I was certain. So here I stand, ready to face my past. If only I could get my legs to move. **FIRST DRAFT - UNEDITED **
