Short Story
Ghost
Ghost The tattoo parlour ghost was rarely seen but people often felt its presence. Some customers claimed to have felt a cool breeze brush against their skin, sending soothing shivers down their spines. They said it lingered with them like a gentle hug that wouldn’t go until they left the building when a soft wind would carry it away from them. The non-believers attributed this to wishful thinking, but those who believed would gaze around the corners of the shop when a strange noise echoed through the space.

A Defeatist
A Defeatist Elias lived a life never-endingly hung within the shadow of "what uncertainties." Each choice, each activity, was weighed down by the fear of being labeled a defeatist. He wasn't born that way. As a child, his eyes shone with the same brave flicker as the other boys, the ones who climbed the tallest trees and chased after rebel fireflies long past nightfall. But some place along the way, fear took root, a weed that choked the once dynamic plant of his strength.

Scratching at the door
The rain lashed against the windows of the cabin; a banshee-like wind howled. Maya curled up further in her sleeping bag, which provided no relief from the advancing chilliness. She shouldn’t have taken this shortcut; she shouldn’t have been overconfident with her map and compass skills because now she was lost, alone and miles away from civilization with her dead battery having turned the phone into a useless brick.
