Can Cellar
The windowpane of the school bus rattled against my head as I rose from sleep, stirred by the rumbling of tires on gravel road. Though it was only November, the school year already felt long. Not as long as the threat of the winter that the almanac portended this year. Well, all according to daddy, anyway.

“The Cemetery Where the Graves Whisper Your Name”
The Cemetery Where the Graves Whisper Your Name By [Ali Rehman] Elias had walked past the old Briarwood Cemetery every day of his childhood, and not once had he dared to look inside.

✨ The Tell-Tale Heart.
I am not mad. You must believe me. The disease had sharpened my senses, not weakened them. I could hear the faintest rustle of a leaf, the tiniest whisper of a footstep, the beating of a heart. Yet it was precisely this heightened awareness that drove me to fixate on the old man with whom I lived. I loved him, and he had never wronged me. But there was one thing about him that I could not endure: his eye. That pale, vulture-like eye, with its milky film and cold, watchful stare—it filled me with a horror I could neither explain nor contain.
