Granny Tales
I grew up in an extremely small rural town in Pennsylvania, on a farm. The population of our town was less than one thousand people. The closest city, Scranton, Pennsylvania, was about an hour away. The nights were pitch black dark because there were no street lights or light pollution like in the city, except for the light of a million stars.

Part I: A Fateful Arrival: The old town of Ravens brook stood as a testament to time, its narrow cobblestone streets lined with ancient, ivy-clad houses that leaned in on one another like gossiping whispers. Among the residents, none dared speak of the manor on the hill, known as the Longwood Estate. Its dilapidated facade seemed to hide secrets that had been buried for generations. It was said that no soul had inhabited the estate since the tragic disappearance of the Longwood family over a century ago.

Mr. Jose continuously shouted at his foster children. Coordinating, instructing, and reprimanding them. But he scolded with love and passion that he instilled in the hearts of his players. My view of basketball is the same as that of an outsider. A simple competition where one team tries to bring the ball to the opponent's goal while the opposing team does the same.

I caught a whiff. The scent of the living. The smell of blood, flesh, and skin. From a girl. A young girl consumed by terror.
Revenant - I Was 14 Years Old When I Died. The Synopsis
Life... life is beautiful. I have lived a vibrant life, cherishing every moment and receiving love from those close to me. My family functions as a team, always there when I need them. My father is not just an ordinary person of Norwegian descent working in Indonesia; he is my superhero, fighting against evil while also teaching me the fundamentals of life, from learning to crawl as a baby to becoming the most humble and compassionate girl in school. Although many boys in school admire me for my blonde hair, fair skin, and blue eyes, I have earned admiration and respect from others through my loving and compassionate nature. Why would I ever want to tease and bully someone for amusement? Why should I abandon a "loser" out of fear of being influenced by them? Why is it wrong to help others?
Song of the Siren
Like most rock singers, Rhea Rosalia Rainy had baggage. Some of it was anatomical: her genetics contained a mutation that allowed her accessory vocal cords--the false vocal folds, rudimentary in everyone else--to be functional apart from her primary ones. She could harmonize with herself, which was not a coincidence in this universe.
