The Mirror’s Edge
It was supposed to be a simple heirloom, passed down from my grandmother—an ornate mirror with a gilded frame, intricate carvings of vines and flowers twisting along its edges. It had hung in her hallway for decades, always pristine despite its age. She had always warned us, half-joking, “Be careful what you see in this mirror; it might see you too.”

The Possessed Christmas Tree
The Anderson family had never been big on traditions, but this Christmas, they decided to change that. After years of rushing through the holiday, they agreed to go all in—decorating their home, baking cookies, and finally, buying a real Christmas tree. They found the perfect one at a local lot, a grand, lush fir with the kind of symmetry that made it look almost… too perfect.

Isolated House and The Girl 4 (AI Edition). AI-Generated.
As I blinked awake, my fingers tightened instinctively. There it was—the necklace—its shimmering red gem nestled in my palm as though it had always been there. My breath hitched as I stared at it. A flash of memory struck me: the girl, her eerie eyes, and that note etched onto the necklace in crude, haunting letters.

Reparative Pal Program Two
The next time that I woke up, I was laying on my back on a bed. Or what could somewhat pass itself as a bed. It was a small, hard, piece of foam that someone laid on the floor. There didn’t seem to be a bed frame under it. One that was really, really hurting my back to lay on. Slowly I start to sit up and take stock of my surroundings. The walls were a bright white color that initially hurt my eyes to look at because of the lighting. My eyes take a second to adjust as I notice the number of cameras in the room. From what I counted there were at least four of them in each corner of the room. Sort of like what you would see in a movie.

The Wreath That Whispers
It started innocently enough. The Hollis family, eager to outdo their neighbors in holiday cheer, stumbled upon an antique store on the edge of town. Tucked away in a dusty corner, surrounded by faded ornaments and tarnished silver bells, was a large Christmas wreath. Its evergreen branches seemed impossibly fresh, adorned with crimson ribbons and small, intricately carved wooden ornaments. A brass tag at the bottom read, “Timeless Cheer.”
