The Museum of Lost Things
Every object has a memory. Some refuse to be forgotten.
When Elise took a part-time job cataloguing items at the old city museum, she discovered an unlisted room behind a hidden door. Inside were shelves filled with everyday objects—keys, shoes, watches—all labeled with people’s names.
One night, she picked up a silver bracelet engraved with a date: the day her brother disappeared. As she held it, she heard his voice whisper, “You finally found me.”
The climax: Elise learned that the museum wasn’t for history—it was for souls whose memories were trapped in forgotten belongings. By returning each item to where it belonged, she freed them one by one… until only the bracelet remained.

Tattoos & Rail Guns Chapter 12: The Little Shoeshine Boy
The gargoyle dropped off the camera and flew out of the rook. Deezle the Defiler hooked the camera up to his laptop and proceeded to watch the footage. He became visibly more upset with every frame. At the end, he had to prevent himself from smashing the camera to bits or at least tossing it through a wall. He couldn't believe what he had seen; he hadn't expected the shade to survive; it was a minor demon at best and therefore imminently expendable, but it had practically died on arrival. The soldiers could have killed it.
