My Soft Spot. Runner-Up in If Walls Could Talk.
“If walls could talk.” Yeah. People say that all the time. But do they ever listen? We rumble and fall, creak and groan. We crack and ache, listening to the mundane and the weird, the exciting, the pitiful, without any choice in the matter.

The burning house
If walls could talk, they would tell countless tales. Stories of every kind would spin from the brick or stone or wood of their surface. Sonnets of love, tragedies of heartbreak, epics of war, fairy tales of ancient times, fables, legends, tall tales, and parables would all be told. If walls could talk, you would listen to every word with delight. They would transport you into the past, into glimpses of lives lived, moments made, journeys taken.

Before She Could Speak
Before she could speak my sister could spell and the first word she spelled was ‘love,’ but that wasn’t why I killed her. I suppose I don’t know why I did it. I only know it wasn’t because she loved me. I’m a killer. I felt like one before I killed her and nothing changed afterward.

The Lost Souls' Lament: A Spine-Tingling Journey into the World of Ghosts
The Invitation Sophie sat at her desk, staring at the envelope in her hand. It was made of thick, cream-colored paper, with her name written in a spidery script across the front. There was no return address or clue where it might be from. Her curiosity piqued, she tore open the envelope and pulled out the card inside. It was an invitation, written in the same ornate handwriting as the envelope. It read "You are cordially invited to the estate of the late Mrs. Adelaide Grey for a weekend of rest and relaxation. The estate is located in the remote countryside and promises to be a haven of tranquility for those in need of respite. Please arrive at 6 p.m. on Friday, and feel free to bring any personal items necessary for your stay. We look forward to your presence at the estate." Sophie read the invitation twice, trying to discern any clues about who might have sent it. But there was nothing to indicate who the mysterious host might be, or why they had chosen her to attend. Despite her misgivings, she found herself drawn to the idea of a weekend away from the city, in a peaceful countryside estate. She decided to accept the invitation and spent the next few days packing and preparing for her trip. On Friday evening, she set out for the estate, her heart racing with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. As she drove deeper into the countryside, she found herself surrounded by rolling hills and dense forests, the road winding ever higher into the mountains. Finally, as the sun began to set, she arrived at the estate. It was a sprawling mansion, built of dark stone and surrounded by lush gardens. The front gates swung open as she approached, and she drove up the long driveway, feeling a sense of unease creeping up her spine. As she stepped out of the car, she was greeted by a butler, who took her bags and led her into the mansion. The interior was even more lavish than she had anticipated, with high ceilings, ornate chandeliers, and plush carpets. Sophie was shown to her room, a spacious chamber with a four-poster bed and a balcony overlooking the gardens. As she unpacked her bags, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. There was something off about the estate that she couldn't quite put her finger on. But as the night wore on and the other guests began to arrive, Sophie pushed her doubts aside and tried to enjoy herself. After all, what harm could a weekend away do? Little did she know that her decision to accept the invitation would lead her down a path of terror and madness, as she delved deeper into the mysteries of the estate and the tragic history of its former inhabitants.

Love Beyond Death
The night was still and quiet. The only sounds were the crickets chirping in the distance and the occasional rustling of leaves.
