    No one notices when it starts. That's the point. This isn't a story about monsters, ghosts, or violence. It's about attention - and what happens when it becomes unnecessary. Each chapter changes something small. Not in the world. In you. There is no twist. There is no explanation. And nothing here needs to be watched to continue. You don't have to keep reading. But most people do.

    After families begin vanishing from the village, fear spreads faster than answers. With no proof, no witnesses, and nowhere else to turn, the villagers are left with only rumors-whispers of places no one dares to enter. Abandoned houses. Sealed factories. Forgotten fields where people once died and never returned the same. Believing the disappearances are tied to something unnatural, the villagers begin investigating these haunted locations, hoping to find clues, survivors, or at least a reason for what is happening. But the places do not welcome them. Sounds follow where no one stands. Shadows move without light. The air itself feels watchful. Each visit leaves the investigators changed-some shaken, some silent, some unwilling to speak of what they saw. As fear tightens its grip, the line between paranoia and reality begins to blur. The villagers realize the haunted places are not empty-they are aware. And whatever lingers there is slowly guiding them toward a truth far worse than they imagined.

    New Orleans is a city built on bones, blood, and buried truths. Detective Larkyn Alexandre has spent her career solving cases most people would rather forget. But when a young woman is found murdered beneath an ancient symbol pulled from grimoires older than the city itself, Larkyn is forced to confront something she's spent her life denying. The dead do not stay silent in New Orleans. Neither do its secrets. Haunted by spirits who refuse to move on and bound by a legacy that runs as deep as the Mississippi, Larkyn must navigate a case that blurs the line between folklore and fact-while crossing paths with a stranger who knows far more about what's hunting the city than he should. Some gates were never meant to be opened. Some saints were never meant to be bound. Bones Beneath Bourbon is a Southern Gothic paranormal mystery where history breathes, ghosts remember, and the past demands its due.

    People always picture Santa as this jolly guy, totally safe and fun. But in this story, its different. Two boys, they are nineteen years old, they stop by this almost empty mall grotto right at the beginning of winter break. They figure it will just be some silly awkward moment, nothing big. Instead, Santa starts asking stuff he really should not know. Like their names, how old they are, details about school, even their daily routines. It gets weird fast. Then he lays out this choice for them. Sit on his lap, or forget about any gift. They say no way. They bolt out of there. But Santa, he follows them. Right behind the grotto, theres this workshop setup. He offers them his special peppermint tea, says its to calm down kids who act up. They do not stick around for that. Kind of ironic, though. After they have the tea somehow, they end up forced back to the grotto. Made to sit on his lap for the first real time. Still, no gifts come their way. That is when things go really bad. They get taken away. Its not like a straight up prison or anything. Worse, I think. This place turns out to be some cult initiation house, and once you are in, leaving is not an option anymore. Santa does this initial check on them. One boy gets pulled aside, stuck with an assistant, and has to watch the other one, Joseph, like its all normal. Like this is supposed to be some kind of care. But it is not. The whole thing builds slow, like a psychological horror. All about how coercion works, those fake choices people make you think you have. Obedience gets drilled in, step by step. Until you cannot even imagine getting out. It feels like that part about the tea stands out, how it pulls them back in without them realizing right away. Updates come twice a week, Mondays and Thursdays at 730 UK time.

    "Madness does not come by breaking out, but by giving in; by settling" The beginning traces itself to a smell. Faint. Warm. Metallic. A man writes to the reader because words do not recoil the way people do. As a foul scent follows him through rooms, streets, and sleep, he insists on one thing above all else: He. Is. Sane. The Smell is a psychological confession that blurs the line between obsession and identity. Told directly to the reader, it traces the quiet settling of madness - not as a sudden collapse, but as something patient, intimate, and dangerously comforting. This is not a story about crime. It is a story about surrender. Dark, intimate, and unsettling, The Smell asks a single question: What happens when the thing consuming you feels more real than the man you used to be?

    Some encounters don't happen to scare you. They happen to see how much you can endure. Rumi thought the worst part was seeing them. He was wrong. They didn't scream. They didn't threaten. They didn't chase him. They sat. They watched. They smiled. A family of three - a mother, a father, and a child - appearing where they shouldn't exist. In his room. At a cafΓ©. Across the table from the girl he loves. Always calm. Always patient. Always watching. This is not a story about possession. It is not a story about religion. It is not even a story about fear. It is a story about being chosen without being asked. About how silence can be mistaken for permission. About how some beings don't want to harm you - they want you to get used to them. As Rumi struggles to maintain a normal life, he begins to understand something unsettling: Some doors don't open suddenly. They open slowly - until you forget they were ever closed. Dark. Psychological. Agnostic. Encounters is a one-shot story that explores perception, vulnerability, and the quiet terror of realizing you were never alone. This story takes place in the same universe as The Veil in My Eyes.

What he discovers is not a ghost story, but something far more unsettling: a town that refuses to take responsibility for itself. This is a psychological mystery detective story where the horror comes not from the supernatural, but from human dependence, memory, and collective denial.

    Nyra Solene Vale was five years old when she watched her father die while waiting for him in a car with the door still open. She didn't cry-not at the gunshots, not at the funeral where she wore red and black, not when the ground closed over him. Her mother told her not to. As the years pass, Nyra learns how to survive through silence-enduring loss, neglect, bullying, and secrets no one wants her to know. Love fades, truth is buried, and childhood becomes something she never truly had. This is the story of a girl who learned too early that staying quiet was the only way to live. This is my first time writing, so please leave comments of what you readers think.
