Missing
Cries of Kara rang out in the night. Their sound lingered ominously between the trees. Feet moving through the dark forest sent up a chorus of crunching pine needles. Hearts beat faster in chests with nervous feelings. Eyes darted into the shadows. Searching for what was lost, hoping not to discover what was feared.

Who's the real monster?. Content Warning.
It's been the same nightmare for over 10 years now. Reliving the night I lost every thing that ever mattered to me. When I jumped off the roof of the hospital I thought it would lead to my death instead of entering the shadows of the world.

The Silent Witness
Rain lashed against the windows of Senator Gregory Harrow’s office, the sound like a thousand whispered secrets. Detective Elias Vorne stepped inside, his sharp gray eyes missing nothing—the too-perfect placement of the gun in the senator’s hand, the lack of powder burns, the faint scent of cologne that didn’t belong to the victim.

The Ace of Spaces Murders-2nd Part
Chapter 2: The Ace of Spades The rain had started by the time James and Sarah reached Marcus Doyle’s apartment. A cramped, third-floor walk-up in the kind of building where the wallpaper peeled in long, sad strips and the air smelled of mildew and stale coffee.

I Am The Gift
They never ask where I came from. They only ask if I come with batteries. I don’t. There was a time when I was ash, scattered beneath a black tree struck by lightning. Before that, I was a name spoken in a language no one remembers. Before that, I was just... waiting.

“The Website That Only Appeared at Midnight”
The First Discovery It was a typical sleepless night. I had my phone in one hand, tea in the other, scrolling through articles for inspiration. Writing for digital platforms like Medium and Vocal had become a daily habit—sharing thoughts, tips, and motivational pieces that felt honest.

The Vanishing Bride: One Clue, One Truth, One Deadly Secret"
Part Two: The Note Beneath the Thorns The church was empty now. What had been a sea of white roses, silk runners, and polished pews just 24 hours ago was now nothing but echoes and caution tape. Detective Mara Ellison crouched at the front of the aisle where Emily Caldwell had last been seen—where the petals fell from her trembling hands, and the bouquet tumbled to the floor like a severed promise.

The Last Light of Winterhall
The village of Winterhall sat tucked between snow-laced hills and forests so thick they swallowed sound. Time moved differently there—slow, deliberate, like each moment had to be weighed before it was allowed to pass. It was the kind of place where secrets slept under floorboards and even shadows whispered to one another.

Lurking in the Depths of You
“Mr. Elliot Blackwood,” calls a rustic voice. I fumble my keys and wallet as I stand, timidly walking toward the small room, which is composed of only a couple of chairs and a small rectangular table that looks like it belongs in a campervan.
