Revenge of ghosts or a bloody detective
When Uncle Mason came for the summer with his daughters, Agata was over the moon with happiness. Of course! Two whole girlfriends. One is twelve, the other is ten years old. Agatha was then just between them; in age — she was eleven.

A Seemingly Endless Ride
There were three things that Caelan was certain of. One, he woke up on a passenger train that looked to be very old. It wouldn't look out of place in a Western. Two, this train was going much faster than it probably should. As the scenery outside looked like a blur to him. Third, he was completely alone in the part of the train he woke up on. This was the most messed up thing he'd dealt with in his life. And couldn't remember buying a ticket for this train. Or getting aboard it either. He shoved his hands into the pockets of his pants to find a ticket. When he found nothing in there, he searched his jacket pocket, and there was nothing.

What beauty hides
I have a friend Nick. He has an apartment on the second floor of an apartment building in another block. He and his wife had a small business beauty salon. He unwound a little and bought an apartment for himself — on the second floor. They completed all the documents and opened a beauty salon right under their apartment. And recently he calls me, invites me to drink vodka, have a snack.

By The Light of the Moon
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Dancing and flickering in the frigid, night breeze. An alluring vigil, beckoning those unfortunate enough to see it to come. One night, and one who awaits this nights arrival. The old wooden door shakes on its hinges, alerting him.

A pendant from the cemetery
Six-year-old Agatha was a sweet and obedient child who created almost no problems for her loving parents. The girl spent almost all her free time in the yard, playing with her friends, and her mother, doing household chores, periodically looked out the window to make sure that everything was all right with her daughter. Agatha's father was at work all day to provide his family with everything they needed, so he was never at home.

The Music of Eric Zed
1 Howard had recently relocated to the southern city of Sienna to organize a training program for the local call center. It had been a big promotion, and an even bigger move, but he was managing to keep his head above water, despite the corporate stress. What had truly been drowning Howard was the loneliness of a new city.
