1. The Hallway Light

I always left a light on in the hallway so I wouldn't feel alone in the dark. Tonight, the light went out, and when I tried to turn it on, I saw the shadow of a child in the doorway.

2. The Thief

When I woke up, I found a note on my pillow: "Don't forget to check the lock." My first thought was relief, until I remembered that I never use a lock.

3. Mirror

I looked in the mirror and smiled. My reflection smiled back, but his smile never disappeared.

4. Whispers

The voices in my head began to whisper my name. I can no longer tell if they are in my mind or outside in the dark room.

5. The Gift

I received a package without a return address. Inside was a photo of me sleeping in my own bed, with a note that said, "You'll wake up soon."

6. The Shadow

Sometimes I see a shadow move across the wall, but when I turn my head, there is nothing. Today, the shadow moved towards me.

7. The Door

At midnight, I heard a knock on the door. When I opened it, there was no one there, just a small package with a clock that said 3:33.

8. Not Mine

I find muddy footprints in the house. The problem is that I live alone and the prints seem to be heading straight towards my bed.

9. The Photo

I saw a family photo that I had never posed for. In the picture, I am standing between two people I don't recognize.

10. The Tattoo

When I woke up, I found a new tattoo on my arm that I don't remember getting. It indicated a name: Sofia. But I don't know any Sofia.

11. The Hat

I always found a hat in my room that wasn't mine. Tonight, I heard a voice whispering from beneath him.

12. The Echo

While exploring a cave, I began to hear echoes of my own screams, but I wasn't sure if it was me shouting them.

13. Reason to die

If I had lived, I wouldn't have killed myself.

14. You

I live with a person whom only I can see. That person tells me that you look great reading this, but be careful when you turn around.

15. The Clock

Every night, my clock rings at 2:00 AM and I can't turn it off. Today, the clock started chiming at 2:01, and I saw a message on the screen: "It's your time."

16. The Sweet

I received a candy with a note that said, "Enjoy while you can." The next morning, I found a piece of human flesh in the packaging.

17.The Last Song

I heard a sad and beautiful melody coming from the broken radio. At the end of the song, a voice whispered: "Your turn is next."

18. The Collector

Someone is collecting the rings from my fingers while I sleep. Every morning, I find one less in my hand.

19. The Awakening

I woke up in my bed, but the room was empty and the windows were closed. Then I saw a note on my pillow that said, "Thanks for the trip."

20. Girl

Girl, aren't you afraid to play alone at night in the cemetery?

Not now, when she was alive, yes.

21. Are you real?

No, keep dreaming.

22. The Hallway

As I walked down the dark hallway, I noticed the walls were covered in photos. They were all mine, but in each one I was in a terrifying situation.

23. The Visitor

Someone is knocking on the door of my house. The funny thing is that I have no neighbors and no one should be there, since visits are not possible in my isolated place.

24. Crying

Every night I hear a baby crying outside my window. Tonight, the crying became closer and I knew I was home.
