What Lies Beyond?
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. The rest of my uncle’s mansion was free for me to roam and play in while I stayed here for the summer, but for some reason I was not allowed to open that one particular door. My uncle was very insistent about that, but would not tell me why no matter how much I pestered him.

The Porcelain Doll
"There was only one rule: don’t open the door.” It was just a doll. Yet he had never seen anything more beautiful. She sat in a special glass enclosure, her eyes, speckled in shades of blue and gold, held his as if in a trance. Jewels of distant shores adorned her and sparkled with iridescence, adding intrigue to the mix. He had to own her.

Beneath the Mask
Beneath the Mask The small town of Hollow Creek was shrouded in a veil of fear. For years, a serial killer had been stalking its residents, leaving behind a horrible calling card: victims found with their skin meticulously removed. The killer was known only as the Skinner, and despite the best efforts of law enforcement, they remained uncaught, unseen, and seemingly unstoppable.

Specimen 6
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. From across the room, the creature inside of the cage appeared to resemble a bulky middle-aged man. It was only until you approached the bars that you could truly see that there was no humanity residing within the beast's DNA.

It Was Halloween
"There was only one rule: don’t open the door.” It was Halloween 1997 and the kids were all over the place in crazy, scary, funny, and silly costumes. There appeared to be more trick-or-treaters than usual. I was warned about the door before my mother left for work.

Agatha Christie's Parrot. Content Warning.
"There was only one rule: don’t open the door.” That was just one of the stipulations on hiring the cottage once owned by Agatha Christie, another was to look after the parrot, which was old and said to have been Agatha's favourite, but that may have just been another story.

The Devil Wears Thrift
It was past midnight when I heard the faint creak of a door downstairs. My heart skipped, but I brushed it off as the wind, dragging my blanket closer. The quiet hum of the fridge sounded louder than usual, and the shadows stretched unnaturally across the walls.
