The Clock That Ticked Backwards”
Part 1: The Discovery I had never seen a clock like that before. It wasn’t beautiful or fancy. It had a plain wooden frame, a cracked glass face, and bold black numbers. But what made it unusual wasn’t how it looked — it was how it behaved.

Tapeworm . Content Warning.
It was easy after the girl. That worked out a bit better than I'd planned. I thought she might just get a broken leg, best case. Most likely, just some scrapes, and a lot of tears and snot. I thought I wouldn't have to sit through another evening listening to her prattle on about ponies. Well. I was right about that part.

The Letter I Was Never Meant to Read
By Nadeem Shah It was tucked inside the back of an old shoebox—between brittle birthday cards and a black-and-white photo of a woman I didn’t recognize. I wasn’t supposed to find it. But fate has a cruel way of revealing things when you’re least prepared.

Mole
The door slammed, and the whole lot of them jumped in their seats. She stood there, frozen, salad tongs in her hand. I'd stormed in right as she was coaxing one of the kids to take a portion of something green.

Under the Crimson Sky
By Nadeem Shah The sky bled red the evening I returned to Raven Hollow. I hadn’t been back in twelve years—not since the night everything I believed in was shattered. The roads felt narrower, the trees darker, like the whole town was holding its breath, waiting for me to remember what I’d tried so hard to forget.

Boar
Ugh. Walking into that flat was like stepping back in time, and not in a good way. I knocked, politely, and got no answer. He's an old guy by now, so maybe he didn't hear me? I knocked louder, and raised my voice.
