The Secret
Once upon a time, in a town nestled between rolling hills and babbling brooks, there was a secret. But this wasn't just any old secret – no, sir, this was the kind of secret that had folks whispering in corners and staying up late at night, spinning wild tales under the stars.

The Eyes
The narrator is rushing to get a job interview, but is startled by a knock on the door and finds no one on their stoop. They find a mismatched looking amulet with a large purple-green stone encased in gold and a torn-out notebook paper with a message: "Your gonne need this." They wrap the chain around their fingers and walk towards downtown, taking advantage of the cool autumn breeze.

Kill the Dream. Content Warning.
“Hello! Hello nurse, anyone.” James Ripley pressed the help button from his hospital bed over and over, but there was no answer, so he started yelling for help. He saw he was in a hospital, but he didn’t know why or how he got there. He looked out the window and saw it was daytime, the sun was out, and a bird was sitting on a ledge outside. The television was on the news, the report talked about a horrible train derailment that killed forty people, injured over one hundred and the police were still going through the wreckage looking for survivors or the dead.

Phantom Island: The Haunting Chronicles. AI-Generated.
On October 23rd, 1820, British sailor John Bennett and his men landed on an island near the southern tip of South America, which he eventually named Phantom Island. The next two days were marked by mysterious and unbelievable events, details of which Bennett refused to make public until shortly before his death in 1877. What happened 137 years later, when a group of Canadian scientists landed on the island, was even more horrific, fueling speculation that the island should be left alone and uninhabited. Over the years, research stations have been established and abandoned for various reasons, some of which remain unknown. The events of 1957 were kept secret by the Canadian government until British-born scientist Robert Morgan eventually broke his silence.

Not I
"The psychological symptoms of this mental illness include: paran-..." Her fingers paused on the keys... The lab around her felt muffled as an odd sensation crept up Kate's neck and across her face. Blinking and flexing her fingers she looked down at her long, slender hands. Something was off... She looked around, blinking and squinting hard. It was just her eyes feeling fatigued after too much screen time. Looking at her hands again, the feeling was still there. They seemed wrong somehow. Like she couldn't remember how they were supposed to look. Or, they just didn't look like they should? Obviously attached to her body, they were her hands. She knew that much logically, but it didn't feel like her body agreed. Mumbling something to herself about how much she hated Mr. Nessing and this stupid assignment, she rubbed her eyes and looked again at her fingers, trembling slightly with the hereditary tremor she'd had since birth. They were her's again, and her time inside over the last several months had not done her tan any favors. "God I need some sun..." She chuckled to herself.

Skin. Content Warning.
I needed a good night's sleep. I was looking forward to it, after many nightmares about my skin peeling away. I laundered the sheets that day and cleaned my room. I had read a book that explained that this was the key to a good night's sleep, but my night did not go very well,
