The Hourglass of Hollow Earth
Chapter 1: The Descent That Shouldn’t Have Happened Hunedoara, Romania – April 3, 2024 The earthquake was soft...too soft to warrant panic. It barely nudged the antique chandeliers in Corvin Castle, caused only the gentlest ripple in the moat below. Tourists paused their photos. Locals exchanged uneasy glances, then carried on sipping their țuică and talking about politics.

My landlord knew what items I had in my bedroom. I never met my landlord in person
When I was 18, I was desperate to find a place to stay for university. There is a massive housing shortage where I live so I went on Facebook to find a room. Eventually a man from Egypt Dmmed me saying that he has a private room available. He told me that he moved back to Egypt due to being ill and decided to rent out his 3 bedroom house. He had no profile picture or any info on his profile other than his name.

Growing up in a quiet village nestled between fields and forests in rural Pakistan, I often heard stories about supernatural beings.

That changed one summer night.

The House That Hums
I never believed in haunted houses. That was the kind of thing people whispered about in old diners or posted on forums with usernames like “GhostHunter88” and “DeadInside13.” I believed in creaky pipes, bad wiring, and wind howling through gaps in the roof. That was before I moved into the house on Brookmere Lane.

You died today, what will happen next? Have you ever thought about it?
You Died Today: What Happens Next? The final time you shut your eyes was now. The world you knew—the voices, the light, the laughter, the worries—all slipped away like a dream fading at dawn. Despite the fact that your body is still, you are aware. And now the journey begins. A journey every human must take. The journey of the soul.

What would it be like if you saw someone else lying next to you in your sleep in the middle of the night?
