The Lantern Bride
In the village of Sablewick, where the fog never truly lifted and the trees whispered to one another in the dark, there stood a lonely manor called Briar Hollow. It sat on a cliff overlooking the sea, its windows always dim, its doors always closed, and its gate held shut by rust and old regrets.

The Lake Only Exists in My Dreams
I started dreaming of the lake three weeks ago. In the dream, it’s always twilight. The sky is bruised purple, the wind still. I stand barefoot at the edge of a lake I’ve never seen before, surrounded by thick pine trees, the air smelling faintly of smoke and algae. The water is impossibly still, like black glass, stretching wide in every direction with no shore in sight but the one I stand on.

Mount Osore: Japan’s Gateway to the Underworld
Perched at the end of the remote Shimokita Peninsula in Aomori Prefecture, Mount Osore (Osorezan), also "Fear Mountain" or "Dread Mountain," is more than a natural wonder. It is a spiritual maelstrom where Buddhist cosmology, volcanic desolation, and profound bereavement meet. Sanctified as one of three most sacred sites in Japan (the others being Mount Kōya and Mount Hiei), the landscape here mirrors Buddhist conceptions of the afterlife, drawing pilgrims, mourners, and paranormal seekers.

It was supposed to be the perfect getaway. Three friends, Ayaan, Bilal, and Usman, had been planning their jungle adventure for months. The idea was simple: to escape the busy city life, explore the unknown, and challenge themselves to survive in the wilderness.
