An Incomplete Forever
KATRINA The pounding in my head felt like a drum being beaten from the inside. Ugh… never drinking that much again. Of course, that was a lie, I’d probably do it all over again next time. My day off had been spent exactly how my family and I always did—drinking, singing, dancing, barbecuing. Even if we were just at home, we made a party out of it. That was just our way of life.

The Merciful Robber. Content Warning.
The Merciful Robber Rowland Parker arrives, uninvited, at the Ainstock Christmas dinner. Lord and Lady Ainstock don't exactly adore Lord Wilchester's second son, but it doesn't smell like a Shakespearean tragedy. True, Lord Wilchester still felt aggrieved by losing his coveted EID MAR Roman coin to Lord Ainstock in a card game fifteen years ago, but that’s as far as it went. They were made of better stuff than Italian nobility and declined to try to kill each other for sport or vengeance.

Missing Pages
The members of the Willowbrook Bookclub had been meeting for years. It was their tradition to gather once a month, sharing their thoughts over books both new and old. They’d spent countless evenings analyzing stories, laughing over characters, and delving deep into plots. But that evening, as they gathered in the cozy back room of Millie's Bookshop, they would uncover a mystery that no one had ever expected. Maggie, the group’s most passionate reader, had chosen the latest book. It was an old novel she had found tucked away in a second-hand shop. "The Inheritance of Shadows," a mysterious gothic novel from the 1920s, had a few pages missing from its beginning. But Maggie insisted that the book would be worth reading regardless of its condition. She was wrong. As the evening wore on, the group discussed the twists in the plot and the eerie atmosphere of the book. The suspense in the writing was captivating, and the descriptions of the haunted mansion were vivid. But when they reached the final chapters, things began to feel off. The last few pages of the book were oddly different in tone—darker, more intense. Each member’s excitement began to wane as they realized something was terribly wrong. The plot took an unexpected and unsettling turn. What started as a mere ghost story quickly became something far more sinister. The characters in the book seemed to be trapped in a never-ending cycle of dread, and the language grew colder, more cryptic. At one point, Clara’s fingers trembled as she flipped through the pages, feeling the chilling weight of the words. Clara, the newest member of the book club, had never been one to shy away from a mystery. She had always prided herself on her analytical mind. As the group discussed, she took a closer look at the pages, her eyes scanning the lines with growing concern. She froze when she noticed something she had missed earlier—a name, faintly etched into the margin of the last page. The name was familiar, but Clara couldn’t place it. She flipped through the book again, her fingers trembling as they grazed the missing pages at the beginning. Something about those blank spaces felt wrong. They weren’t just pages that had been torn or damaged; they had been deliberately erased, wiped clean of anything that might have been there. The unease in her chest grew stronger. Clara’s heart raced. The name written in the margin—the one she recognized but couldn’t fully recall—belonged to the bookshop’s previous owner, Mr. Horace Bellamy. He had mysteriously disappeared twenty years ago, and no one had ever uncovered what had truly happened to him. The town had moved on, but Clara felt a shiver run down her spine as the pieces began to fall into place. She quickly excused herself from the group and slipped away to the back of the shop. She grabbed the dusty, old records from the bookshop’s storage room, hoping to find some clue that could shed light on the connection between the name and the strange book. As she flipped through the records, she found a shocking revelation—Horace Bellamy’s name appeared multiple times in relation to this very book, but there were gaps. Pages from the shop’s archives were also mysteriously missing, just like the pages in the book. The discovery turned the evening on its head. The group began to realize that the book wasn’t just fiction—it was a record of something much darker. The missing pages, Clara concluded, were not just lost; they were erased on purpose. The mystery had become real. The members of the Bookclub had unknowingly become part of a much deeper, far-reaching secret. And as they looked at the eerie words of the novel, they realized they might never escape its grasp.
