I Went Too Deep Into the Dark Web and Found Something That Still Haunts Me
Look, I know what you're thinking. Another fake dark web story, right? Trust me, I wish this was made up. I wish I could go back to three months ago when I was just another bored college student scrolling Reddit at 2 AM.

My Airbnb Had One Rule: ‘Never Open the Closet at Night’—I Wish I’d Listened
Let me start by saying I’m not an idiot. At least, I thought I wasn’t. But when I booked that Airbnb in the Colorado mountains last winter, I ignored the single bolded sentence in the house rules:

You know, I’ve always considered myself a pretty strong person. But there was a time when I felt like I was drowning—like no matter how hard I tried, nothing was going right.

I Found My Doppelgänger—Then She Stole My Life. AI-Generated.
The first time I saw her, I thought I was hallucinating from stress. There I was, sitting across the café, sipping my favorite caramel macchiato in my denim jacket with the sunflower pin on the collar.
