Captive{ated}
"First you captivated me... then you held me captive." Evelyn was like most college-aged girls working a part-time job when she met Caleb, who came in to her life when she wanted him least but needed him most. He captivated her. By the end of summer, she had fallen in love with him. It was then that he wanted her to meet his parents. And that's when everything changed. Caleb was not the man Evelyn thought he was. He came from a secluded village that did things much differently from the rest of society. Isolated in one of the most sparsely populated areas of the country, it was as if they live in their own little world. They were a traditional village for the most part, but there were some aspects that they did much differently than any other, especially in the ways of courtship. It didn't take long for Evelyn to realize one thing: once you were brought home to meet the parents, there was no escape.Complete
There's Something in the Woods
Something terrible is haunting the woods of fiery creek forest. Children are disappearing, only to return missing limbs, organs, bleeding out, with no logical explanation for what happened to them. Nero escapes the terror of the forest with his life, but not his voice. His vocal cords grotesquely ripped out by some monster he can't even describe. However, he is determined to find the truth, and what hants the woods, before it can kill again. "The thing about this business. Literally anything could be. And we'll probably never know. You just have to pick the explanation, that helps you sleep at night, and move on. Because the only people who know what happened out there in the woods, didn't live to tell us their story." But there are too many clues, and everyone has something to hide. The truth is out there, but will Nero ever find it? And at the end of the day, does he want to? Content/Trigger warning: grotesque violence throughout. Peril, fear, terror, unsettling imagry.Complete
Whispers in the Walls
They told me the house was empty. That the boy I was supposed to care for wasn't real. Just a doll. Just a job. But then I heard things. Felt things. 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
