Boxed In
Gusts of wind swirled the front doorstep of a quaint suburban home in the small town of Joelton. Autumn leaves were whisked away from the brick landing of the fourth house on the left of Market Drive. The home was a wholesome blue-grey, two-story contemporary farmhouse with white trimming, a large oak door, and dark blue shudders. A black drone with four articulating rotors hovered over the concrete landing, carrying a large package. It lowered the package to the ground and a unison of clicks could be heard as the drone released the box. After allowing it to settle, the drone navigated to the door, and with robotic precision, rang the doorbell. It then quickly backed itself out from under the awning and disappeared into the skyline.

The President's Chair
Stage Right: Interior, apartment living room. A man sits slouched on a loveseat facing a TV screen. He is wearing a headset. The muffled sound of yelling tells us that his volume is louder than necessary. The coffee table is filled with books that vary in thickness. Along the back wall we see a light through a door frame with the sound of pots and pans rattling and a woman's voice humming.

Thump
I walked in the backdoor tired from another tough day at work. I enjoy teaching—sometimes—but often it just exhausts me. I’m too introverted for the job; speaking for hours on end makes me want to crawl into my bed, get into the fetal position, pull the covers over my body, and shut off from the world.

A Favor for a Friend
Caleb heard a soft buzz outside of his window. He slightly opened the blinds to see. A small mechanical drone was dropping off the package. It teetered slightly as the wind pushed it, but found its proper path onto his porch. Caleb stepped outside onto his front porch and looked down at the package.

Boxes
John sat at the table, his elbow resting on the laminated particle board surface. The dim lights of the combined kitchenette and dining area gave the scene a greyness that suited his mood. Before John, on the table, sat a simple 6-inch cube of cardboard. It had been dumb luck that he'd even seen the drone dropping it off, a novel delivery method if ever there was one. Must have cost a fortune to get it delivered that way, but its not like he paid for it. Either way, he wasn’t expecting a package, even with the holidays coming on.

Real Cases of people haunted by Hat Demon in Sleep Paralysis
In this story, I will discuss the real stories of people who experienced sleep paralysis and were not aware of it. I have a keen interest in watching movies about witches, vampires, demons, and ghosts. From my childhood, I have seen movies like Harry Potter, Casper, and Scooby-Doo stories that portray good, and evil.

Ding Dong
It all started with a text from "UNKNOWN" that read, "Ding Dong". WTH, I thought. Then the sound of my doorbell made me jump. I pulled up the video feed of my surveillance cams, and I got a fleeting glimpse of a drone backing away from my doorstep.

Hidden Containment
Middle of the night on the front porch lays a wooden box that has a history to it, just by looking at it. Living in the middle of nowhere, where the post office or even any online delivery services are unable to reach. No known neighbors close by or any human able to connect with.
