The Hollowing of Alder Village
The letter had arrived with no return address, sealed in brittle, yellowed paper. The ink, faded but legible, claimed to be from a relative I’d never heard of—my "Aunt Miriam." She implored me to visit her in the village of Alder Hollow, far from any city or recognizable place. The letter spoke of old family matters, of an inheritance tied to a "sacred duty" I had to fulfill.

“spooky microfiction story that begins with this first sentence: don’t open the door.” "Don't open the door." The voice popped through the static of the child screen, empty and new. Laura's breath hitched as she gazed at the screen on the end table. Her better half, Imprint, was down the stairs in the carport, and their girl, Emma, had been sleeping for quite a long time.

The Unfed. Runner-up in Spooky Micro Challenge.
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. That’s what they told me when they hired me for the strange security job. The pay was great. Maybe that’s why I endured the creepy desolate lab, but the lab wasn’t the worst part. Getting paid to watch a frail girl just felt wrong. If my girlfriend wasn’t pregnant I doubt I’d have returned after seeing her in the monitor.

RETURN
The narrow road into Grey Hollow was swallowed by thick fog, the towering trees looming over like silent watchers. Radha hadn’t returned to her hometown in over a decade. The sudden deaths of her parents had forced her back—an unexpected car crash, the authorities had said. Her parents had veered off the road, their car plummeting into the ravine outside of town. Accidents like that were rare in Grey Hollow, but there was something unsettling about the entire situation that Radha couldn’t shake.

Do Not Open the Door
Do Not Open the Door The wind howled through the cracks in the old wooden cabin, its mournful cry echoing off the desolate mountains. It was a stormy night, the kind where even the bravest of souls would rather stay inside, far away from the dangers lurking in the dark wilderness. Yet here I was, alone in my grandfather's secluded cabin, miles from the nearest town, with nothing but the faint glow of a dying fireplace for company.
