The Man in Apartment 3B
I’ve always had a habit of noticing things I’m not supposed to. Little things. A light that flickers at the same time every night. A song playing from a window that hasn’t been opened in years. A shadow moving just a second too slow.

The way of the fish
No one really liked Gary. He was the kind of guy who brought tuna salad to a sauna and didn’t see the problem. Still, when he invited his coworkers to his remote lakeside cabin for a “fish-based wellness retreat,” they all said yes—mostly out of fear he’d bring a tuna into the office again. The guests included: - Janelle, who once maced Gary for trying to high-five her while holding a raw trout. - Marcus, who hadn’t spoken to Gary since “the guppy incident” of 2022. - And Tina, who had no idea who Gary was but heard the words “free Airbnb” and “outdoor hot tub” and was halfway into her swimsuit before she even finished reading the email. They arrived on a gloomy Friday evening, greeted by a musty lake breeze and a suspiciously fish-shaped welcome mat. Gary stood at the door, grinning like someone who’d spent too long fermenting sardines. “Welcome to The Way of the Fish!” he bellowed, gesturing grandly toward a wooden sign etched with what might have been a fish or an extremely confused cucumber. “Leave your terrestrial worries behind. Here, we live as the fish do.” “What does that mean, exactly?” Marcus asked, clutching his duffel bag like a life raft. Gary only winked. That night, dinner consisted of something Gary called “lake ceviche,” which appeared to be raw fish marinated in regret and pond water. Tina pretended to eat it by slowly sliding the contents of her plate into a potted plant shaped like a pufferfish. Later, in the “Wellness Room” (formerly the garage), Gary led a guided meditation titled "Become the Gills". The guests sat on damp yoga mats as Gary whispered things like “Now visualize yourself breathing through your neck holes” and “Let go of your ego… and your vertebrae.” Janelle left halfway through to cry in the hot tub. At 2 a.m., Marcus woke to a horrible sound. It was either a fish flopping violently against hardwood flooring or Gary practicing mouth harp underwater. He crept downstairs—and screamed. There, in the kitchen, Next to a big pile of opened anchovy cans stood Gary… in full scuba gear. He was pouring anchovy juice into a humidifier from a big jar. “I’m creating ambiance,” Gary explained, muffled through his mask. “It’s aromatherapy. The fish way.” Marcus fled back upstairs and barricaded his door with a floor lamp and a copy of "The Joy of Tilapia". with his back towards the closed doors he thought to himself, " how many tin cans did Gary open to get all that anchovy juice?"

Willlow House's Whisper
"Willow House's Whispers" Everyone in the town of Elmswood knew one rule: stay away from Willow House after sunset. It sat at the edge of the woods, crooked and covered in twisting vines, with its shutters always closed and its gate rusted shut. The kids at school said it was haunted. They said if you stood too close, you could hear whispers—soft voices that didn’t belong to anyone you could see.
