The Hollowed Heights
Once, in the heart of a bustling city, there was a building that stood out among the rest. It was an old, decrepit apartment complex known as "The Hollowed Heights." The building had a dark history, with rumors of mysterious disappearances and unexplained events swirling around it like a shroud of dread.

The dilapidated bungalow. Content Warning.
The dilapidated bungalow had stood on the outskirts of town for as long as anyone could remember. Its weathered walls leaned precariously, as if burdened by the weight of the secrets it held within. Overgrown vines and thorny bushes had claimed the front yard, making the path to the front door almost impassable. Despite its eerie appearance, the bungalow had always been a place that the townsfolk avoided, and it had become the stuff of legends and ghost stories.

Ch.1: Epidemic of Shadows
As the sun set, I walked with a heavy heart, my mind torn between fear and hope. Walking through the school halls, things felt eerie and tense. The place was mostly filled with women and children because many young men and even some women had been drafted for the war against China. It was clear the world had changed a lot, with once-powerful states now broken and barely recognizable. I knew danger could strike at any moment. Trying to keep those thoughts at bay, I walked to my daughter's classroom.

Blackout Horror Stories
During my early twenties, I was employed as a construction worker and engineer in the Philadelphia region. My colleagues and I were primarily engaged in basic construction tasks, such as constructing add-ons to existing structures. One notable project in 2012 involved the construction of a small basement area and the extension of the main floor for a coroner dentist building. This basement was intended to accommodate a bathroom and two spacious storage areas. Our progress was commendable, as we had already installed functioning lights in the basement. Consequently, the basement had been sealed off, eliminating the presence of a large hole in the ground. The operational lights provided us with sufficient illumination during our nocturnal work shifts.

Trick-or-Treating Horror Stories
Years ago on Halloween, I encountered a dubious situation. My cousin had come over to join me in trick-or-treating. At the time, I was 15 years old, which may have been considered too old for such an activity, but the allure of free candy was too great to resist.

The Bloodstained Necklace. Content Warning.
In the heart of a picturesque, centuries-old town named Willowbrook, where cobblestone streets wound their way through charming cottages and ancient oaks shaded the narrow lanes, there lived a tale that had been passed down through generations—the legend of the bloodstained necklace.
