The Silent Ones
Mira had always loved the calm of the forest. Growing up in a small town surrounded by trees, she found comfort in the silent company of ancient pines. But she’d never dared to go as far as the clearing known as "The Silent Place," an area locals avoided and whispered about. Old stories said it was cursed, that people who ventured in alone would come back changed—or sometimes, not come back at all.

Tell the story of a scar
A constant conversation piece was the scar on Emily's left hand, small but noticeable, jagged, and crescent-shaped underneath the thumb. Whenever someone asked about it, she waved it off with a few careless words: "Oh, some childhood accident," turning the conversation to another subject. She hadn't mentioned this scar for decades. It wasn't painful or traumatic; it just seemed unbelievable.

Whispers from the Attic
Lena had always been curious. It was a trait that had earned her the reputation of the “adventurer” among her friends, and it was the same curiosity that led her to the old, abandoned house on the outskirts of town. The house had sat empty for as long as anyone could remember, its windows dark and broken, its once grand structure now decaying into the earth. The locals avoided it, speaking only in hushed tones about the strange occurrences and disappearances that had plagued the place long ago.

The place had a strange reputation, a lingering presence that unsettled anyone who ventured inside. The shopkeeper, an old man with an unblinking stare, rarely spoke to customers, his thin lips curling into a tight, uninviting smile. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, people still found themselves drawn to the shop.

The Echoes Beneath
Jared had always been fascinated by the abandoned mining town of Vesper Hollow, a place that had been left to rot for over fifty years. Its dark history had always intrigued him—rumors of disappearances, strange noises in the dead of night, and whispers about an underground cavern that no one had ever returned from. He’d heard the stories from locals who insisted the town was cursed, but Jared was a skeptic, eager to explore the decaying ruins and uncover the truth for himself.

The Last Passenger
It was the middle of winter when Victor boarded the last train of the night. The station was almost empty, save for a few scattered souls who seemed to fade in and out of the shadows as if they were just as lost as he felt. He had missed his last bus, and this train—the one that was supposed to take him home—was his only option.

The Haunting of Hollow Creek
It was the kind of night where the moon barely pierced the heavy clouds, leaving the world cloaked in darkness. Hollow Creek was a forgotten stretch of road nestled between two old, dying towns—places that had long been abandoned by both residents and time itself. A place that was never mentioned in the maps, a forgotten route. Yet, for all its isolation, there were rumors.
