The Last Smile You’ll Ever See
They said it started as a harmless trend—another stupid social media challenge that teenagers picked up out of boredom and influencers exploited for likes. It was called The Last Smile Challenge.

AI After Midnight
When Lydia first built ECHO, she didn’t intend to create life. She just wanted company. The apartment was too quiet after Daniel died—her younger brother, the only person who truly understood her code and her silence. His absence was the first thing she noticed every morning, like a missing semicolon that broke the whole program of her life.

The Library of Forgotten Faces
The first thing Emma noticed about the town of Windmere was how quiet it was. Not peaceful quiet—hollow quiet. The kind that swallowed footsteps and made every breath sound too loud. She had arrived that morning for her internship at the town’s historical archive, tucked behind the main square.

The Motel at the End of Route 13
The rain had been chasing Daniel for three straight hours, blurring the highway lines into liquid streaks of white. His wipers beat a useless rhythm against the windshield, struggling to clear the downpour. The GPS signal had died twenty minutes ago, leaving him alone on Route 13—a cracked two-lane road that cut through endless black fields and rusted fence lines. His gas tank light blinked red. He cursed under his breath, praying for a sign of civilization.

The House That Forgets You
The house was too quiet when Daniel arrived, its silence so complete that even the crunch of gravel beneath his shoes felt like an intrusion. He had come for peace, that’s what he told himself. After the city, after the noise, after the failed relationship and the job that had hollowed him out, the small countryside home seemed perfect. The rental listing described it as “a charming, secluded property ideal for those seeking solitude.” Solitude was exactly what Daniel thought he needed.
