HAUNTED RESTURENT
SOME FRIENDS ARE IN RESTURENT FOR DINNER... Once upon a time, in a small town nestled deep in the mountains, there was a renowned restaurant known for its delicious and unique cuisine. The restaurant was named "The HAUNTED HOUSE" and was said to be haunted by three real ghosts. The first ghost was a woman named Lillian, who had been a chef at the restaurant before her untimely death. She was known for her exceptional culinary skills and was rumored to still roam the kitchen, ensuring that every dish was prepared to perfection. The second ghost was a young boy named Tommy, who had been a waiter at the restaurant. He was said to have a mischievous personality and loved to play pranks on the guests, making glasses of water spill or doors mysteriously close on their own. The third ghost was a mysterious figure known only as the "Specter of the Cellar." No one knew much about this ghost, but strange noises and cold drafts were often reported coming from the restaurant's cellar.

HAUNTED FARMHOUSE. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
STORY ABOUT OLD FARMHOUSE... The old farmhouse had stood for centuries, its stone walls bearing witness to generations of laughter, tears, and secrets. But as the years went by, the once-thriving farm fell into disrepair, and the house became a shadow of its former self. The windows, once bright and cheerful, now stared out like empty eyes, their panes cracked and broken. The door, once welcoming, now hung crookedly on its hinges, as if pushed open by an unseen hand.

HORROR Review of "The Man in the Black Suit" Stephen King short story
I have an older, very thick book of Stephen King's short stories. I've read many of his older books but not short stories. At the end of "The Man in the Black Suit," King states that his favorite Nathaniel Hawthorne story is "Young Goodman Brown." He thinks it is one of the best American short stories ever written. This short story by King is his hommage to that.

WHITE
The place I study is quite large, divided into many rows. While rows A and B are opposite - there is a canteen in the middle, where in the evening people gather to have fun, eat and drink - row C is an isolated world, always feeling gloomy. Nearby there is also a warehouse that has been abandoned for a long time.

DEEP FOREST ELF
Just like other times, my grandmother always affirmed that this story was true. On a recent trip back to my hometown, I tried to ask my relatives near home. And it was surprising when they all confirmed that what my grandmother told me was true. Although there are many different versions, the main character is the same old woman. She is very old, lived so long that she turned into an ogre. A goblin that eats people.

THE GUIDE TO THE UNDERWORLD. Content Warning.
In a certain city there was a grumpy old man that no one could get close to. He had no one by his side to take care of him, even when the weather was bad or when he was sick. When the neighbors came to help, he angrily cursed and chased them all away, leaving no one behind. Over time, no one cares anymore.

RING TONE. Content Warning.
Dan and I found a temporary place to stay in a small town. Industry has not yet completely controlled this place, so I can rest assured with jars of fish sauce and fresh fish without packaging. There is no internet here yet, electromagnetic waves are frequently disturbed, so I have no way to contact the rest of the group. We backpackers usually don't carry much money with us, so staying in town for too long will be difficult. Although the rent here is very cheap, we may have to leave soon. For now, I have to wait for Dan to finish repairing the car so I can continue the journey.

SCREAMS IN THE NIGHT
The boat was rocking in the middle of the water, I was scared as I sat tightly clinging to the side of the boat, my eyes wandering as I looked at the dimly lit night sky with the nineteen moonlight. We sat piled together in the boat compartment. The two big men rowing the boat lightly tapped on the roof to signal that we had arrived at a safe place and we could move a little. The bow rower lifted the leaf cover to look in.
