Dead air on the dial.. Content Warning.
The blood was the loudest part. Not the sound of it—because spilling blood is surprisingly quiet, a soft, wet hiss against the hardwood floor—but the sheer, overwhelming volume of it. Brenta never knew a human body could hold that much. It pooled around Erik’s head, soaking into his light hair, turning the pale rug a deep, angry maroon.

Shadowman in Death's sea
BEWARE THE SHADOWMAN! He is a man who is like a giant hoodie who steals children to hide in his zipper. He used to reside in town, but now that he was found guilty for killing someone causing an endless war, he was cast out to Death's sea. There isn't many children down there, but plenty of undead fish. He zips them up into his giant black hoodie self now.

The Inheritance
The solicitor's letter was formal and efficient and completely unexpected. Elena had not known her great-uncle existed. Her mother's family was complicated in the way of families scattered by conflict and distance, and there were branches she had never traced and relatives she had only heard mentioned vaguely, as figures in stories set in a country that was now a different country than the one they had left.

The Architecture of Silence
What Two Quiet People Built When They Finally Spoke Anna had been told she was too quiet since she was seven years old. Teachers wrote it on her report cards — Anna is bright but reluctant to participate. Colleagues mentioned it in performance reviews — Anna could contribute more in meetings. Men she had dated briefly mentioned it as a fault — you're hard to read. She had spent fifty years being told her natural state was a problem that needed correcting.

The Leech Wears the Snail Shell
A little snail loved a leech until they realized the leech was eating their worm friends. The snail munched on algae and could not imagine the leech's meal palate. The leech was mad when the snail broke up with them, so the leech took the snail's shell and wore it like it was theirs. They started to do as the snail would do and eat algae even though they thought it was disgusting like a bad salad. The leech ate worms behind closed doors while the snail had to wait to slowly and excruciatingly grow back their shell. They were called the leech and their worm friends turned on them and said that the snail, now called a leech, would eat them.

"Don't Read This Alone: What Happened to Me at [Place]"
# The Night I Questioned Everything *What started as a normal night ended with me questioning everything.* --- It was a Tuesday. I remember that detail clearly, because Tuesdays were never supposed to matter. Tuesdays were for laundry, for reheated leftovers, for falling asleep on the couch with the television murmuring something I wasn't watching. Nothing happens on a Tuesday. That's what I believed, right up until 11:47 PM, when my front door creaked open on its own.
