I Spent a Night in the Forest — and Found a Device That Shouldn't Exist
We planned the trip weeks in advance — four friends, three tents, and two nights in the woods to disconnect from the chaos of life. Our destination was an old pine forest miles off the main road. No signals. No city noise. Just stars, trees, and maybe a little whiskey by the fire.

The AI Chatbot Knew My Secrets — Ones I Never Shared
It started like most nights: Alone, tired, and curious enough to distract myself from my thoughts. I had downloaded a new AI chatbot after reading a trending post about how eerily human it felt. It wasn’t like ChatGPT or Siri — it claimed to learn you, like a mirror trained on your mind.

A Stranger Gave Me a Note. It Changed My Entire Life.
It was the kind of day that feels like the world is quietly giving up. The clouds hung low, the rain fell without sound, and everything around me felt tired — like even the wind had grown weary of moving. I had just lost my job. My partner had left two weeks earlier. My rent was overdue. And I hadn’t told anyone, because honestly… I didn’t think anyone would care.

I Got a Message From My Dead Sister — Through AI
I wasn’t looking for closure. I had already accepted that she was gone. My sister, Emma, died two years ago in a car crash on her way to my apartment. She had just turned 26. The call came at 2:09 a.m., and since that night, I hadn’t slept through a single one without waking up at least once — hoping, somehow, that it had all been a mistake.

The Night I Slept in a Haunted Guesthouse — And What Followed Me Home
I wasn’t supposed to be there. Not in that town Not in that guesthouse. And certainly not that room. But road trips are unpredictable, and when you’re chasing sunsets with no real plan, sometimes you end up spending the night in places you’d rather forget.

The Invisible Burden: Living with High-Functioning Anxiety
The Invisible Burden: Living with High-Functioning Anxiety From the outside, my life appeared to be a perfectly curated masterpiece. I was the one who always met deadlines, orchestrated seamless events, and remained a calm, reassuring presence to everyone around me. My career was on an upward path, my social calendar was always full, and my home—if I’m being honest—was perpetually spotless. Friends would often marvel, “How do you do it all? You’re always so put together!” I’d offer a polite, modest smile, while inside, a familiar and unsettling hum would stir.

The City's Unheard Melodies
The City's Unheard Melodies My life in the city had always been a cacophony. The relentless honk of traffic, the distant wail of sirens, the ceaseless chatter of crowds—it was the unchanging soundtrack of urban existence. I had trained myself to block it all out, drowning it beneath the familiar comfort of my headphones, creating pockets of silence within the chaos.

The Device That Didn’t Belong—And the Call From the Djinn
We didn’t plan to get lost. It was just a weekend forest hike with friends. Laughs, photos, snacks, and the thrill of being away from the noise of city life. But by nightfall, the trees looked less friendly. The trail signs disappeared. And the silence… started to feel unnatural.

The Night I Spent Alone in a Graveyard
It started as a dare. One of those late-night conversations where ego speaks louder than reason. We were a group of four, gathered around a bonfire near the edge of town, swapping ghost stories, laughing too loudly, and pretending we weren’t scared.

Did I Really See a Jinn—Or Was It All in My Head?
It was supposed to be a normal weekend. I had traveled to my grandmother’s village in northern Punjab — a quiet, sleepy place where people slept early, and the nights echoed with the sound of crickets and distant dogs barking. I loved it there. The stillness, the simplicity. It gave me peace.
