That terrifying night
It was eleven o'clock at night and I was sleeping as if I had sold all my donkeys and horses. In my dreams, what islands was I traveling to when the phone's continuous ringing shook me and made me jump into the world of consciousness and senses. With difficulty controlling my sleeping nerves, I picked up the phone.

The Safety of the Light
The perimeter must remain lit. It was the only rule the village enforced. For generations, as dusk set in a handful of adults would gather by the fire, light the torches, and carry them to the edge of their homes. Children watched gleefully as the flames danced to life one by one, like stars hovering just above the earth. “You must never venture beyond the light,” the elders warned in the gravest of tones.

Whispers in the Windowlight
We are told the window is a comfort — that light through glass is protection. A boundary. A blessing. We are told that reflections are innocent. But. No one asks what happens when the light bends wrong. When glass forgets it is glass and becomes something else. Something hungry.

The Crimson Pact
The Crimson Pact > “Two foxes danced under the haunted sky, unaware the lion wept with hunger nearby.” It begins in the silence before the scream. The forest is still. Too still. Every leaf suspended in air like it had been waiting for something dreadful to arrive. Something ancient. Something inevitable.

Things You Can't Say seven. Content Warning.
Well, the movie is as terrible as I expect it to be. The whole thing feels like it’s just supposed to be some kind of torture porn. Or something to that effect. As all that happens is pain and misery to me. Sure, the guy in the movie isn’t exactly an angel. But the things that had happened to him feel over the top. Just thanks to the way that she messed with this guy’s head. Along with the other terrible things that she had done. Hurting people. Murdering them as well. Like her best friend that her boyfriend cheated on her with. It was terrifying to see crap that was on screen. I’m no stranger to violent horror movies. But this movie wasn’t up my alley at all. The number of terrible things she had done were outright disgusting to watch. The way she killed that poor innocent rat.
