The subway car rocked through the tunnel, nearly midnight on All Hallows’ Eve. Lauren looked up—empty, except for a figure at the far end.  She hadn’t seen anyone get on.  It began walking toward her. Slow. Silent.  Then the lights flickered.  When they came back on, it was closer.  Too close.  And now… it wasn't walking.  It was crawling.  And it wasn’t breathing.  But something behind her was.

The Last Stop

“Stay here,” Jamie said, pressing the locket into Ella’s hand. “I’ll come back for you. I promise.” She nodded. “I’ll wait.” He left. Seasons turned. The road stayed empty. Years later, a traveler passed. “Are you waiting for someone?” they asked. Ella smiled, hopeful. “Jamie.” The traveler paused. “There’s no one by that name in these parts.” Ella’s smile faded. She looked down the road. Had he forgotten? Or had something else found him first?

The Name That Fades

As a child, I loved the folklore plays in the Enchanted Gardens. Grandma and I would sit front row, watching heroes slay the dragon that returned every century. The villagers cheered, and I dreamed of being in the story—never the story.

Now, years later, I stand in the heart of the ruined temple, where time clings to stone and silence.

A wall of prophecy towers before me.

And there, carved into the ancient rock—weathered but unmistakable—is my face.

But this wall is over 500 years old.

How can I be the one they’ve been waiting for?

Behind me, the ground trembles.

Something knows I’ve arrived.

Stone Remembers

A lone space voyager stumbled upon the drifting ruins of a lost ship and decided to explore its dark, silent corridors.
Inside the medbay, bodies floated—limp, lifeless, untouched by time.
A snake-like creature slinked along the walls, jerking violently at unseen sounds before vanishing into the next room.
The voyager froze, breath shallow, heart racing.
Then—
One of the corpses turned its head, eyes wide.
"I gotta get out of here," it whispered.

Breathless

Lio smiled, like always. Sunny Grove was perfect. Birds sang, neighbors waved, the sky never changed.

But lately, the sun rose too precisely. Laughter echoed the same way every day.

One evening, he climbed the tallest hill and saw it—a flicker in the sky, like cracked glass.

He reached out.

The world stuttered.

Frozen trees. Silent birds. No more scripts to follow.

Lio didn’t understand the words.

But for the first time, he felt real.

Glitch

In their hidden lab beneath Helion’s neon-lit skyline, sister witches Metric and Data accidentally unlocked an ancient spell buried deep within the city’s forgotten core—its full power beyond their understanding.

As they chanted, flames curled around Metric’s dark skin, flickering like wildfire, while icy frost spread over Data’s limbs, chilling the sterile air.

Their eyes ignited—one blazing fire, the other shimmering ice.

Power surged through them, alive with the city’s pulsing heart.

Then, from the core’s depths, a voice only they could hear rasped—
“You have awoken me. Now, I will awaken you.”

Suddenly, the city’s neon lights flickered—and died.

Helion plunged into darkness.

They didn’t choose this fate.
But now, they were the city’s only hope.
