Careful what you say at breakfast in a hotel...
When I was around 22 years old, I had a scary encounter while staying at a hotel for a job. Around 2010 I was working for a traveling photography group that took church directory photos. Each photographer drove separately from all over the place. So I was in Harlan, IA at the time. I was staying at a hotel along with other photographers who joined with me, I believe there was 4 of us (2 guys, a girl, and myself).

Old Castle Blue
It stood a thousand feet tall, towering over the village, so high up into the sky clouds often obscured it. They called it "old castle blue" because of its particularly light shade of grey bricks used to build it, it often looked blue under the fog of the atmosphere in the distance especially on beautiful, sunny days in Spring or Summer. It was an ancient relic, one that may have looked pretty, or added to the picturesque landscape, but deep inside held many dark secrets. The castle looked like something straight out of a Ricky Mouse movie, what with its decorative roof, stylish architecture and many different carvings. However, just like in the cathedral of notre dame, this place also had its secret little monster and it was no misunderstood hunchback like in all those kids films. What lay beneath the grounds of old castle blue was something far darker and dangerous. Not just in the dungeon, but also in the old rooms that nobody should dare enter. Before I go into all the different creepy crawlies that secretly dwell in the darkness of this castle, I must first tell you the story of three daring trespassers who attempted to witness these horrors for themselves.

The Sacred Trial: One Woman’s Journey Through Fire, Flesh, and Fear
I didn’t expect to wake up in a pit. The sand beneath me was warm, almost soft, though the jagged edges of dried coral bit into my back like the memory of something ancient. Crabs—silent, alien sentinels—moved in circles around me, their eyes like beads of obsidian, unblinking. Above them stood figures in long, earthen robes. Silent. Still. Watching.

Caged
She didn't know why. Only that those angry humans had captured her, for reasons she could not possibly comprehend. Other tigers in the jungle had told her about the "hunters", the pale, furless creatures that wore other animal skins upon their bodies. The tiger did not know why, but the idea frightened her a great deal. She wondered if that's what they had planned for her, to skin her and wear her fur. The idea made the poor tiger sick, literally. She puked all over the floor inside her cage. "Bad girl!" One of them roared, she could not possibly understand what he was trying to communicate, only that it was human noises, ones impossible for her to truly decipher. They prodded her with an electric pole, it stung like agony. "You better behave yourself!" They made that strange, creepy noise again. The tiger wept, before falling asleep, dreaming of a better life, hoping her capture was nothing but a terrifying nightmare. It wasn't. She woke up again and found herself in that same metal cage, the tiger was frustrated and furious. She tried tearing down the solid metal bars, thrashing wildly, roaring loudly and biting. "It's no use, ya dumb animal!" One of the hunters sneered, but the tiger sneered back, trying to intimidate the terrifying creature. The hunter made a strange coughing noise, as if amused. "Thick animal, you can't escape!" It made that noise again. The tiger roared incredibly loudly at the human, who actually jumped in fright, then fled off, speed walking away. The tiger may have been caged, but she knew those strange animals on two feet were still afraid of her, despite her captivity. She was getting hungry and those humans looked tasty. The tiger was smarter than they thought, she pretended to be tired, waiting for them to open the cage to feed her. Somehow she knew this, perhaps she'd seen this happen to other captured animals or was told to do this by others who had escaped zoos or containment. Just as she predicted, her cage door opened, a shy human crept into the cage delicately, before dropping a fresh, juicy piece of red meat. However, that wasn't enough to satisfy this tiger's hunger. Suddenly, it leaped up onto all fours and struck the scared human, knocking it down onto its back, before the tiger began her delicious feast. "No! God please no!" The human made a crying noise, before the tiger sliced their jugular, then drank their blood. It was lovely. Like orange juice for tigers. There were other human noises too, those of panic. The tiger looked up and saw humans with longer hair and feminine features, as well as smaller, younger humans who were possibly little human cubs. They all looked so damn tasty, the tiger didn't care about ending human life. They all deserved this, some of them she wouldn't even eat, just kill purely out of vengeance. The cage door was left wide open, so she exited and became the human hunter, chasing the smaller ones into corners, before devouring them completely, savouring their delicious taste. She seemed to be in some kind of human territory, one where humans gawked at wild animals in cages and behind glass boxes. This must've been one of those infamous 'Zoos' the other tigers had warned her about. She hated them all, chasing the scared humans as they screamed in fits of frantic terror! Out of nowhere, there was the sound of a loud, deafening bang, then she felt a sharp pain at the back of her leg, as if a speeding mosquito had suddenly decided to feast upon her. This made the tiger feel woozy and then unconscious. She never awoke again.

The Lighthouse Keeper’s Last Song
The fog rolled in like an old widow’s sigh-soft, salt-heavy, and ancient. It crept over the rocks and cliffs of Gannet’s Reach, swallowing every sound but the sea’s murmuring moan. Atop that lonely headland stood the lighthouse: gray, rust-veined, and blind.

The Child. Content Warning.
The tiles on the floor of my room usually look perfectly flat, but upon close inspection, or by the chance glint of light off a scratch-like ravine on the surface, you notice that it’s not quite as smooth as it initially appears to be.
