Short Story
Curious Case of Missing Melody
In Quaint village of Harmony Ville, nestled amidst rolling hills and babbling brooks, music was lifeblood of the community. Every street corner echoed with sweet strains of violins, the rhythmic thrum of guitars, and the joyous carols of children. But on crisp autumn morning, a disquieting silence settled over the village the instruments remained untouched, their melodies mysteriously vanished.

Interview Room One
"What d'you think, Sarge?" He checks his watch. "Let him stew a bit longer." I look into Interview Room 1 at Xel'thkar tapping his long, spindly fingers on the table. They're a little bulbous at the ends. He doesn't look like he's stewing, but it's hard to tell.

Limited Run
The twenty-something stick figure folds her clanky umbrella, tucks its dampness under an arm, and quietly slips her hands into mantas pose. I sense her calmness as she awaits further instruction. I motion that I am ready to descend. To her credit, she stays, silent and alert.

The Cherry Blossom Special

Price or Reward. Content Warning.
To the Members of Ravenswood Council: It began slowly, the impact of those who had done this to me, they had said that it was buried within me or could have been a sleeper within, either case, it was passed down by blood, so they say. Though upon the rise of the last twenty years it had only grown within more and more powerful with each breath I took. I am now powerless against the onslaught of the tyrannical mind that possesses me. I am alone in all the nightmares that I see before me.

George Beats the Curse
At first, only a few spots of scarlet seeped to the surface of her yellow silk blouse as she lay mortally wounded in George’s arms. The spots rapidly became a torrent, colouring Bianca’s top to the hue of her gypsy skirt. Tentacles of nausea crept through George’s stomach forcing upwards into his throat as he pulled the boning knife from her chest. The sound of Bianca’s body sucking air through the gaping bloody hole shook George to his soul.

A Perilous Escape
Michael s found himself seated in the middle row on the floor, trembling uncontrollably, unable to quell his fears. The group's leader and founder, Jadon , emerged before them. Smoke billowed from Jadon 's nostrils resembling vapour rising from a heated kettle, while his bloodshot eyes mirrored the colour of fresh blood. The room remained enveloped in darkness, preventing the captives from discerning the ongoing events, save for a faint humming sound and a small lantern, concealed by a towel, positioned on the table beside Jadon . The number of individuals present in the room remained unknown to all.
