The Door That Never Closed
The office building was nearly empty, save for the dim hum of fluorescent lights and the occasional creak of the old elevator shafts. Sarah stood on the top floor, clutching her tote bag like it was a lifeline. Her heart thudded in her chest, each beat a warning she tried to ignore. Every fiber of her being screamed at her to turn back, to leave the building and retreat to the safety of her car. But the email from her manager had been clear: “Retrieve the file from the 13th-floor archive. No excuses.”

Veil of Shadows — The Glimmer Man: The Military’s Invisible Stalker
Imagine walking a ridge road at dusk. The trees are beginning to blur into one another; chips of light etch the trunks in quick, accidental stripes. Your breath fogs in front of you. Somewhere in the undergrowth a branch snaps. A small, ordinary sound, and then the air itself seems to ripple, like heat over asphalt. Not a shape. Not a shadow. A thin, trembling seam of light where nothing should be. You feel your skin tighten, like the world just remembered you were there.

Ghost in the Group Chat. AI-Generated.
Ghost in the Group Chat The notification tone pinged just as the group chat fell into one of its usual awkward silences. For the past year, the five of them—Maya, Chris, Jordan, Leah, and Sam—had struggled to keep the thread alive. The group used to be constant noise: memes, late-night rants, pictures of half-eaten pizza. But ever since Alex’s accident, the chat felt like a hollow shell of what it once was.

The House That Hummed at Night
When Adeel signed the rental contract for the old house at the edge of town, he thought he had struck gold. The rent was half of what other landlords demanded, the neighborhood was quiet, and the landlord seemed eager to hand him the keys.

The Ningen: Japan’s Government-Concealed Arctic Humanoid
“White Under White” Imagine a horizon that never blinks. A seam of gray sky stitched to a dead-flat sea, nothing to measure distance, nothing to hold onto but your breath fogging in your mask. The ship’s metal moans in the cold. Sonar pings like a heartbeat you don’t trust. And then, under the ice, something pale glides by. It’s not a whale. Not a seal. It is shaped like an idea you don’t want to have: a human form, impossible in scale, moving with the slow, deliberate grace of something that has never needed to fear you.
