Mystery
The Orphans in the Woods
Rohan was sitting on the couch with the Bank Bag, and Gertrude had sat down in front of the cushioned bench chest. She knew that her mother called the bench the "Hope Chest" and had kept sentimental items inside. She lifted the top and began to look inside as Rohan counted all the money they had collected so far.

The Chronicles of Lost Keys
Prologue (The Keeper’s Secret) In a dimly lit library hidden beneath the bustling streets of a nameless city, an old man named Mr. Mufid sat surrounded by countless keys. Some were golden, shining like captured sunlight; others were rusted and worn, whispering secrets of forgotten times. Each key hung from a wooden rack, labeled with names and dates that no one could decipher but him.

The Nightbound
The small town of Silvercrest lay nestled between dense woods and a sprawling mountain range. By day, it was quiet, its cobblestone streets and quaint shops bathed in sunlight. By night, however, Silvercrest transformed. Shadows stretched long and deep, and the air carried an eerie stillness—a reminder of the legends that surrounded it.

<< Click here to read from the beginning (Chapter 0) < Click here to read Chapter 5 You’ve started to decompose more slowly now, the colder the season’s become. I’ll join you eventually. I'm sure of it. Until then you and the camera are my audience. It feels good to be the watched for once instead of the watcher. Finally, for everyone to shut up long enough for me to tell my story. To matter. You and I know this will all matter once the stacks of canned goods and the canteens of water run out; once December, January, February, and March pass and the ice begins to thaw and our bodies with it. Then, in the heat of summer when the tourists and the buzzards come, when Mrs. Developer and Madame Liliana come back from their real homes in Santa Fe and you and I are burning in hell; when the rot and stink get too much to hide… that’s when this confession will matter. Farley made sure of that.

Before It Ends. Top Story - January 2025. Content Warning.
When we are children everything seems to have a conspiracy or scary story around it. We make up stories of the things that go bump in the night. We have such a naïve side that we often believe the stories we tell, exaggerating them more each time they are shared with our friends. Sometimes we make up stories based on bits and pieces that we hear the adults around us talking about, and other times we take actions based on those bits and pieces, not realizing what a mistake that can be.
