Our Love Story Ends in Blood – Season 2, Part 2. AI-Generated.
Her words lingered in the air like smoke—“I’m pregnant.” I should have felt joy, hope, a new beginning. But all I felt was fear. Not the kind that sends you running, but the kind that roots deep inside your chest and grows like rot. Love was having my child. Love, the woman who slit Candace’s throat. Love, who saw the worst in me and didn’t flinch—because she had her own.

The Bakery and the Burial – Season 2, Part 1. AI-Generated.
I buried Beck beneath poetry and hardwood, but her voice still echoed in the spaces between my ribs. New York became a cage of whispers—her laugh on the stairs, the sound of the bookstore bell, the scent of her shampoo on strangers passing me in the street. So I ran. West. To Los Angeles. The land of smoothies, sunsets, and souls that smiled too wide. I chose a name—Will Bettelheim. Not mine, but fitting. The real Will? He’s alive, just very…quiet now. Locked away. Safe.

The Woman in the Cage – Season 1, Part 2. AI-Generated.
Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is a lie. It started slipping the moment Beck started noticing things she wasn’t meant to. She still smiled at me like I was her safe place, but her eyes grew restless. Maybe it was the way Peach’s death haunted her, or the way Dr. Nicky’s voice started sounding more comforting than mine. Maybe it was the book she couldn’t finish, or the truths she didn’t want to admit—that the world she lived in, the people she trusted, were disappearing. I tried to hold her tighter. But Beck was beginning to pull away, and when people pull away from me, I pull harder.

Hello, You – Season 1, Part 1. AI-Generated.
The bell above the bookstore door chimed—a soft, ordinary sound that meant nothing to anyone but him. But when she walked in, that chime might as well have been a thunderclap. She moved like a question he didn’t know he’d been waiting to answer. Her hair loose, sweater oversized, and fingers running along the spines of poetry like she already belonged to them. Her name was Guinevere Beck, but she introduced herself as just Beck. And with that, everything changed.

Whispers in the Dark
The rain fell like a curtain, drenching the sleepy town of Ravenwood in a cold, relentless downpour. Streetlights flickered, casting long shadows on the deserted streets. In the heart of the town stood the Marrow House — a decaying Victorian relic, its windows shattered and doors hanging ajar like yawning mouths of warning. Everyone avoided it. Everyone but Emily Harper.

That Scary Day
That Scary Day It was a Friday. The sky was clear, the breeze soft, and the neighborhood unusually quiet for midafternoon. Ten-year-old Max Turner sat in the living room, curled up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and a rerun of his favorite cartoon playing in the background. His mom, Sarah, had left just 30 minutes earlier to pick up groceries, telling him she'd be back before sunset. “Keep the door locked. Don’t answer for anyone,” she had reminded him, as always.
