Evil sometimes wears a friendly face.”
The rain had been pounding for hours, turning the highway into a blur of slick asphalt and smeared headlights. My eyes stung from exhaustion, and the wipers screeched back and forth in a hopeless attempt to keep the windshield clear. That’s when I saw him—standing just past the guardrail, thumb stuck out, soaked to the bone.

The Metamorphosis of Bird. Top Story - September 2025.
Bird first noticed it in the mirror on Tuesday morning—a small dark spot on her left palm, like a beauty mark she'd never had before. She picked at it with her fingernail, but it wouldn't budge. It felt hard beneath her skin, like a seed waiting to sprout.

Veil of Shadows — The Black Eyed Children: Modern Folklore’s Most Chilling Omen
The Knock You Regret Answering Imagine it’s late... past midnight, past reason. The house is quiet except for the hum of the fridge and the shifting sighs of old wood. Then: a knock at the door. Not frantic, not timid. Just steady. You hesitate, but curiosity wins. Through the glass of the front door you see two kids, maybe twelve or thirteen. Pale faces. Hoodies. Their posture is still, a little too still.

The Ghost Frequency. AI-Generated.
Arthur lived in the quiet, and that’s what made his job as a post-production audio editor perfect. His workspace was a black, soundproof cube deep within a downtown studio, where the air was always stale and the only light came from his three glowing monitors.

The Hunger Cap
Arlo found the beanie at a thrift store on Bleecker Street, tucked between moth-eaten sweaters and faded band t-shirts. It was unremarkable—charcoal gray wool with a simple ribbed pattern—but something about it called to him. Maybe it was the way it seemed to absorb the fluorescent light above, or how the elderly shopkeeper's eyes lingered on it with what looked like relief when Arlo placed it on the counter.

The House That Rents You By Hasnain Shah When Emily first saw the listing, she thought it had to be a scam. “Two bedrooms, big kitchen, backyard, all utilities included—eight hundred a month?” she read aloud, blinking at her laptop screen.

Spelunk
"Okay, Chet, gimme a hand," Brett grunted, hauling their climbing gear out of the back of his mud-stained old Prius. His twin brother wasn't even on the same planet as him, though; too busy standing at the base of the cliff, gazing up at the sheer, ninety degree rock wall inches from his sneakers.

Room Six. AI-Generated.
The motel looked like it had been chewed up and spit out by time. Neon sign half-hanging, windows fogged with grime, weeds clawing through the parking lot like they were trying to escape. Mara pulled up in a beat-up sedan that smelled like old fries and regret, parked crooked, and stared at the place like it owed her money.
