The Reflection
This pier was not one I recognized. It jutted out into a black sea I had no memory of, yet I stood there as if summoned. The boards beneath my boots groaned with age. The air, slick with cold mist that never settled, clung to everything. Wetness shimmered on everything – the air, the railing, even the sky. The salt stuck in my lungs like regret.

Welcome to Veil of Shadows
Somewhere between truth and folklore, memory and manipulation, lies the Veil. It is not a place. It is not a theory. It is a threshold—and once crossed, you’ll never see the world quite the same again.

Echoes in the Attic
The Dempsey House stood at the edge of a forgotten road in Vermont, its paint peeling, windows boarded, and the wind whispering through its eaves like a memory refusing to die. It had been abandoned for decades—until tonight.

The Voice in the Vent
This happened just a few months ago. And yeah, I still have nightmares. My name’s Trevor. I live alone, in a small apartment on the top floor of a quiet building. Not the nicest place in the world, but it’s mine, and it was cheap.

Why American Psycho is the Philosophic Doctrine of the Modern Dystopic Nightmare
I should preface this by stating that I am nothing like Patrick Bateman. I am not wealthy, handsome, or socially graceful (although arguably, Patrick isn’t either), and—most importantly—I am not a criminal or a killer. Under the right circumstances, of course, everyone can become a killer, but that is not the point here.

The Forgotten Room of Holloway Mansion
Lena Caldwell had never believed in ghosts—at least, not until the day she stepped into Holloway Mansion. The mansion had been abandoned for decades, its tall, wrought-iron gates now rusted and overgrown with ivy. Nestled in a quiet part of the countryside, the house had once been a grand estate. But rumors of strange disappearances, unexplained deaths, and eerie noises that drifted from the mansion’s broken windows had turned it into a local legend. The mansion was said to be cursed, its rooms haunted by the restless spirits of the Holloway family.
