The Woodland Seat
Everyone had heard of the throne, but very few people had ever seen it. The Woodland Seat was something of a local legend. If you follow the river into the woods, turn east at the huge rubber tree at the fork, walk into the setting sun, you will come to the devil's clearing. In the clearing, a place where nothing is said to grow sits a chair of stone. If you sit on the chair, you will be cursed by the devil himself for all time.

Rhapsody View Farm
"There was only one rule: don't open the door." However, for every rule Ellenore made, I would find a way to break. The screen door had been tied up for years but yesterday I thought I would surprise her by repairing it. Once I started, I realized I did not have the right tools.

The Elevator Game
Clara, a journalist with a penchant for the macabre, had heard whispers of the Elevator Game, a ritual said to transport the brave—or foolish—to another dimension. The game's rules were simple yet precise: at the stroke of midnight, one must enter the elevator alone, pressing the buttons in a specific sequence without interruption. If performed correctly, the elevator would ascend to the unknown, a world shadowed by our own.

Lost in the Backrooms
In the underbelly of reality, where the seams of existence fray and tear, lies a realm known as the Backrooms. An endless labyrinth of monotonous, yellowed wallpaper, humming fluorescent lights, and the musky scent of moist carpet, it ensnares those who slip through the cracks of the world. This is a tale of Jordan, a curious explorer of urban legends, who became ensnared in its unfathomable depths, a journey from which return seemed an elusive dream.

Lost at Terminal X
In the dim haze of consciousness, Alex found himself blinking against the sterile, fluorescent light of an airport terminal, one that was eerily silent and seemingly devoid of life. The usual cacophony of announcements, the shuffle of feet, and the distant roar of airplanes were conspicuously absent. As his eyes adjusted, Alex realized he was sitting in a departure lounge, but it was unlike any he had ever seen. The chairs were outdated, the walls bore a faded hue of yellow, and the departure screens flickered with unintelligible symbols.

"THE ROAD TRIP"
Sarah felt a chill go down her spine as the sun sank below the horizon, creating long shadows across the lonely highway. Her phone's map caught her attention, but the GPS service was spotty in this far-off place. They hadn't seen any indications of civilization for hours, and the petrol gauge was perilously nearing empty.
