The Store at Crescent Villa
At twenty-four, Arman had grown used to silence. The kind of silence that lived not in forests or fields but in neat, carefully drawn streets—rows of houses with trimmed hedges, painted fences, and gates that rarely opened. His was the last house on the crescent, larger than most, with a view of the park that remained unused.

Review of The Long Walk. Content Warning.
Review of The Long Walk By: T.D. Carter Now, bear with me as this is my first formal review of a movie. I have written informal reviews in the past, but this one is different—I wanted to truly give my take on this film. The movie is directed by Francis Lawrence, with a cast that includes Ben Wang, David Jonsson, Cooper Hoffman, and Mark Hamill. This is a horror/sci-fi film based on the novel by Richard Bachman, who is actually Stephen King. “The Long Walk” was the first novel King ever wrote, and the movie was released on September 12, 2025.

The Hollow Grove
The Hollow Grove The town of Windmere had many stories, but none older than that of Hollow Grove. Tucked beyond the western hills, the forest had been left untouched for centuries. Locals claimed the trees whispered at night, that animals avoided its edge, and that no compass worked once you stepped inside.

"Whispers in the Kill Zone"
The jungle smelled like blood and rain. Elias Vance crouched in the mud, his rifle resting across his knees. The rescue team he was guiding — five soldiers barely old enough to shave — were restless behind him. He could feel their fear, taste it on the damp night air. The Kill Zone did that to people.

Ghost in the Group Chat. AI-Generated.
Ghost in the Group Chat The notification tone pinged just as the group chat fell into one of its usual awkward silences. For the past year, the five of them—Maya, Chris, Jordan, Leah, and Sam—had struggled to keep the thread alive. The group used to be constant noise: memes, late-night rants, pictures of half-eaten pizza. But ever since Alex’s accident, the chat felt like a hollow shell of what it once was.
