Mystery

Tied
Dave's head felt like a tribal dance was taking place inside it. He let out a groan as consciousness returned to him and his limbs remembered that they could move. His face felt like it contained lots of tiny splinters and his shoulders felt unnaturally high. He tried to move them forward to lift himself from where he was lying and found that he couldn't.

Weekly Story: “THE WRONG SIDE OF THE STORY” #1 - Eliot
Unfortunately, the light pink colored pencil had gone missing. Exactly the color I was looking for to draw the flower on the scarf of the beautiful doctor girl. The girl in my coloring page smiled kindly. I had chosen this coloring page especially for tonight. My brother didn't come back until late and the drawing was very detailed. I had worked on it all afternoon to satisfy my impatience. Today I had gotten a good grade in math and I couldn't wait to tell my brother. The teacher praised me for the good result, because this was the first time in months that my grade was above average. Lately I had a lot of trouble concentrating, but this good hope made me feel that my dream of becoming a doctor could still come true. I decided that I would work very hard to do well. I grinned. If my brother heard me say this, he would laugh at me and say that it is too early to start dreaming at the age of nine. He told me to play and not to worry. But not worrying was impossible, last month my mother died of an alcohol addiction. My father had left us after I was born. Not that I got along with my mother that well. Only her house was important to me and my brother. When she died, we found out that she had a lot of debts and we had to stay with a friend of my brother's for a week: Eliot. It was very cozy and I watched television for the first time on a clean couch. After a week my brother had found a kind of shed. We stay dry there and we had been given beds and furniture by Eliot.

The Forgotten Manor
Chapter One: The appearance The November morning was chilly, with fog entwining along the road's edges as Sarah’s bus slowly wound up towards Blackwood Manor. The air was damp and sharp, carrying the earthy smell of wet leaves and rotting wood. Her tires made soft, rhythmic noises against slick pavement; nearly swallowed by the girding fog.

The Snake Queen. Content Warning.
The ballroom once pulsed with life, a symphony of chatter, music, and the rhythmic swirl of dancers under glittering chandeliers. At the heart of it all spun the princess, radiant and carefree. Her laughter rang like silver bells, her skirts fanning out as she twirled with her dear friends. The King watched from his throne, his gaze stern and disapproving. Her lack of decorum grated against his sense of order, but he held his tongue. Her joy was infectious, too bright to snuff out—at least for now.

The day Maya, a young, aspirational architect, discovered a door hidden amid decades of debris, these murmurs turned into a roar. She had no idea that this neglected passage was a gateway to a hidden realm that would contradict everything she knew, not merely a way into an abandoned basement.
