The Laughter in The Mangrove
Long before skyscrapers pierced the sky of Jakarta, before the malls and toll roads, the northern coastline was home to a dark, untamed mangrove forest. The locals called it Bakau Hitam, the Black Mangrove. Fishermen avoided it, and even the bravest never stayed past sundown. They whispered of something ancient—Nyai Rara Kunti, the forgotten sea mother of the Java Sea, who was banished inland after a betrayal by the gods of the southern ocean.

Ghosts of the Secret City: The Haunted Caves of Viengxay, Laos
The Secret City of Viengxay: A Ghostly Legacy of War and Survival Deep in the mountains of northeastern Laos, shrouded in mist, is the Secret City of Viengxay, a ghostly testament to one of the 20th century's greatest atrocities. During the Vietnam War, this limestone cave city was a refuge for Lao civilians and thousands of communist Pathet Lao soldiers from daily U.S. bombing raids and thus it came to be "City of Victory." Now its history as a site of survival is combined with spooky tales of residual hauntings, so it is one of Laos' most historic and haunted locations.

Along its banks, stories linger—dark, whispered stories that unsettle indeed the elderly who have lived there all their lives. They do not talk of these stories straightforwardly, but in the event that you inquire them to sit by the stream at nightfall, they'll unobtrusively decay.

The Last Map
The world didn’t end with fire or flood. It ended with silence. One by one, cities dimmed like dying stars. Signals vanished. Satellites fell from the sky. No explosions, no broadcasted warnings—just a slow, creeping disappearance, like the Earth was holding its breath before drowning.
