THE EVIL'S SOUL
It was a silent night. No traffic, no loud horns. All quiet except the grinding sound of the scooter, trying to move as fast as it could through the eerie air. The night was going just fine as both Rahul and his friend Rachit returned from the railway station on his old scooter after a tiring business trip.

True Scary Stories
Hugo told me once that fall was his favorite time of the year. Told me to hold leaves as delicate as you would a pretty girl’s hand. His teeth would then spread wide across his face. Pallid and flaked with brown. Rows of sweet tooth that hadn’t been cleared of duff.

Scary Story #1
“Right, you stinking mutt, into your cell and keep quiet.” The gaoler manhandled Edmond Barker into a cold, damp room then clanged an iron-barred gate behind him and turned a key in the lock. His rancid beer breath rattled in Edmond’s nose. “Now both of you listen up! The man in the cell next to you could be your saviour or your downfall. The secret to your release is somewhere in the cell next to yours, so only your companion can find it. High tide is in one hour and will completely fill both your cells. Be out or be drowned.”

The Crocodile
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. And that is how, I have morbidly been taught, the boy lost his life. The ignition of a humble flame that flickered in solidarity with renewed hope. The promise of warmth, the faint notion of salvation. Naught but a rancid deceit and the very forgery that would almost claim the life of mine very own.

Echoes of the Damned
Once, in a small, secluded town nestled deep within a dense forest, there stood an old, dilapidated church. The townsfolk avoided it at all costs, whispering tales of its dark history and the malevolent presence that lurked within its decaying walls. The church was said to be cursed, haunted by an ancient evil that fed on the fear and anguish of those unfortunate enough to enter.
