Our School’s Bathroom is Haunted
The Story Every school has its secrets. Ours was hidden in the tiled walls and the echoes of dripping water. The third-floor girls’ bathroom of Hoshino Middle School was always avoided. Not because it was dirty, or because the sinks never worked properly, but because of the story every student whispered after the bell rang.

The Library After Midnight
Tuesday, October 14 – 11:52 PM Evelyn Carter had always been the kind of person who found comfort in quiet places. While most of the city drifted into sleep or staggered out of neon-lit bars, she preferred the dusty corridors of the Belgrave Public Library. Its carved oak doors and marble lions had greeted generations of readers, but tonight, they greeted only her.

The Disappearance at Room 609
It was well past midnight when detective Farhan Qureshi entered The Crescent Towers, the most expensive hotel in the city. The marble floors shone under soft golden lights, and a faint scent of jasmine filled the air. Guests were rarely disturbed here — which was why the report of a missing person had stirred so much noise.

Eternal Childhood
It was odd being here. In this mausoleum so early in the morning. The place was dusty and hadn't seen many visitors. As far as Claire could tell there hadn't been. Thanks to the fact there weren't many footprints aside from theirs. Looking down at the small coffin, she shivered. The thing was covered in large rocks. Ones that an adult wouldn't be able to move. Much less a dead child. It was rather disturbing in her eyes to see. Why would a parent request this for their daughter? Quietly, she asked,"So, do you know who's in this? And why they're here?"

My Cat Brought Me the Key to a Door That Wasn’t There Yesterday
Story My Cat Brought Me the Key to a Door That Wasn’t There Yesterday It started with a key. A small, tarnished thing, old enough to smell of time itself, left neatly on my doorstep. I didn’t notice it at first — the mail had been late that morning, and I thought it was a discarded piece of junk. But then Milo, my black cat, padded up beside it and stared, green eyes bright and unblinking. He batted the key gently with his paw, then mewed sharply, as if demanding my attention.

My GPS Led Me Somewhere That Doesn’t Exist
Story My GPS Led Me Somewhere That Doesn’t Exist It started as a simple late-night drive. I’d been on the road for five hours, heading back from a work trip, when fatigue began to set in. The interstate was a black ribbon unspooling in front of me, and my eyes kept flicking to the glowing GPS screen for reassurance.
