The Girl in the Window
It all started with a boy named Ravi. He was 12, quiet, loved drawing, and had just moved into a very old house with his parents in a small village. The house had peeling wallpaper, creaky wooden floors, and—this is important—a single narrow window in his bedroom, facing the woods behind the house.

Whispers in the Mirror
June and Jennifer Gibbons were born in 1963, identical in every visible way. Children of Barbadian immigrants in a white-dominated town, they already stood out. But it was their behavior—eerie, synchronized, and almost unnatural—that caught everyone's eye.

The Mirror Guest
It all started with an old mirror. You see, mirrors are supposed to reflect what is. But what if they start showing you things that shouldn't be there? What if they remember things you never did, faces you never wore, or worse—someone else inside them?

She Vanished from Room 209. I Was the Last One to See Her.
I checked into the Red Pine Inn on a Monday night. A quiet, no-frills hotel off Route 12 in upstate New York. My job required constant travel—sales pitches, meetings, handshakes. Cheap hotels like this one were familiar territory. But Red Pine felt… wrong the moment I stepped in.

Whispers Beneath the Skin. Content Warning.
Prologue: The Stench of Memory Akira Yamada, 31, lives in a city that swallows souls…. Tokyo is a concrete beast, its lights never dimming, its streets never sleeping. Yet, for all its constant noise, Akira hears something that others cannot—a persistent, nauseating hum that has haunted him since childhood…. It started the night his parents died in a car accident when he was seven. The hum was there, echoing in his skull, growing louder as the police officer whispered that they were gone. It became his only companion, a low frequency that crept into his thoughts, tainting every joyful moment.

The Man Who Followed Me Home
Hey, can I tell you something that still gives me chills? It happened last year, around late October. You know, when the days start getting shorter, the air smells like wet leaves, and everything feels just a little off. I had just moved to a new town—small, quiet, the kind of place where nothing big ever really happens. At least, that’s what I thought.

The Girl in the Third-Floor Window
I moved into the apartment complex in late October, just as the leaves turned brittle and the wind grew sharp. It was a three-story brick building on the edge of town, old but affordable—too affordable, if I’m being honest. I should’ve known something was off.

The 3:33 AM Bus to Nowhere: A Nightmare That Never Ends
The rain fell in heavy sheets as I trudged down Cedar Street at 3:15 AM, my shoes splashing through growing puddles. Another double shift at the diner had left me exhausted, but the walk home was usually peaceful at this hour. Tonight was different. The air felt thick, charged with something I couldn't name. That's when I first saw the bus.
