I Went Cave Exploring with My Friend. We Found Something That Wasn’t Supposed to Be There.
I don’t want sympathy. I just want someone to tell me I’m not crazy. I’ve run through every explanation—exhaustion, hallucination, gas exposure—but nothing adds up. I know what I saw in that cave. I know what we heard, and more importantly, what we felt.

The Eater of Men
The Eater of Men: In His Eyes, You're Meat There are some people who walk into a room and make the air colder. Not because of who they are, but because of what they are. When Malcolm Grieve walked into the diner off Route 41, his smile was wide and pleasant—but his eyes didn’t see people. They weighed them. Counted the ribs. Measured the muscle.

The Lantern Man
I. The Marsh of Black Hollow Black Hollow was not marked on any modern map. Tucked between dead woods and endless marshland, it was more myth than memory. The only people who still spoke of it were drunk old men at backwater bars and desperate thrill-seekers online.

JF-17 jet fighter
The JF-17 Thunder is a multi-role combat aircraft jointly developed by Pakistan and China. This fighter jet represents a significant milestone in Pakistan's defense and aerospace capabilities. The development of the JF-17 began in the 1990s, when Pakistan sought to replace its aging fleet of combat aircraft, including Mirage III, Mirage V, and F-7 jets. Due to international sanctions and limited access to Western technology, Pakistan needed a cost-effective, reliable, and modern fighter jet that could be developed with strategic partners. Thus, in collaboration with China's Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (CAC), and later with the participation of Russia’s Klimov company (for the engine), Pakistan embarked on this ambitious journey. In China, this aircraft is known as the FC-1 Xiaolong, while in Pakistan, it is called the JF-17 Thunder, with “JF” standing for “Joint Fighter.”
