The Last Train Home
The last train of the night hummed quietly as it began its journey south. Sarah was alone in the car, her eyes tired but sharp, her mind still racing. It had been a long day, and the office lights were still flickering in her head, the hum of her computer echoing in her skull as she tried to forget the pile of emails waiting for her tomorrow. It was late — too late for a train, she thought. But she had no choice. The thought of going back to her empty apartment, her tiny apartment, the apartment that now seemed like a cage, was unbearable.

The Red Gate
“What are we going to do?” Polk asked. By this point everyone in our group, save for the three missing socks, were all huddled together within the small chamber in front of the two tunnels.

Hearts Entwined
In the quaint town of Westridge, tucked between dark ancient forests, a legend exists, one each child hears as a child-a story of two lovers whose hearts were bound, not by love but by something much more evil. No one really knew where it came from, but the message was always quite clear: do not go wandering into the forest after night has fallen for that is where the "Entwined" live.

Where the Sea Meets the Sky
The wind howled a mournful dirge across the cliffs of Slieve League, whipping the sea into a frenzy below. Amongst the jagged rocks and swirling mists lived Lonán, a being of ancient power, a Fomorian bound to the land. His form was a reflection of the harsh landscape, skin like dark granite, eyes like the stormy sea, and a voice that echoed the wind’s lament.
