Hide and Seek at the MArtin House
Hide and seek at the Martin House They call it the Martin House, and it's easily the most haunted place in town. During the day, it’s a beautiful two-story estate in the Millville area. It sits behind a high gate overlooking the bay on ten acres (which comes at a high price given land costs inside Panama City). The current owner keeps up the grounds and maintains the home, but they say he will not live in the house or be there after dark. He rents it out for parties and events, lets people picnic on the grounds, and opens it during the day for tours and historical outings, but an hour before sunset, the gates are locked and the place is cleared of people.

Lost In The Forest
As the sun set behind the trees, painting the sky with shades of orange and pink like an artist’s canvas, Jane and John realized they were lost. The forest, which had seemed so beautiful during the day with its lush greenery and chirping birds like a symphony of nature, now took on a sinister appearance. The shadows grew longer, stretching out like dark fingers across the forest floor. The rustling of leaves sent shivers down their spines like icy fingers.

"The Black-Eyed Killer"
The small town of Millfield was eerily quiet, the only sound being the wind rustling through the trees. It was a place where everyone knew each other and there was rarely any need for locks on doors. That was until the strange occurrences began. It started on a Monday night. The Smith family woke up to find their front door wide open. They were sure they had locked it before going to bed, but there was no sign of forced entry. They shrugged it off as a mistake and went back to bed. The next night, it was the Johnson family that had an unusual experience. They heard a strange noise in their backyard and when they looked out, they saw nothing. But in the morning, they found inexplicable scratch marks on the back door. As the days went by, more and more odd incidents occurred. The Johnsons woke up to find their furniture rearranged, the Millers found muddy footprints leading from the bathroom to their bedroom. People started getting nervous and paranoid. The sheriff's department tried to reassure the townspeople that it was probably just a bunch of kids playing pranks. But they knew that wasn't true. Kids couldn't be responsible for some of the things that were happening. Olivia was a young woman who lived on the outskirts of Millfield. She didn't believe in ghosts or the supernatural, but the recent events had her feeling uneasy. She made sure all her windows and doors were securely locked before going to bed every night. One night, she woke up to the sound of footsteps coming from her porch. She tried to ignore it, thinking it was just an animal, but the footsteps grew louder and more deliberate. She got out of bed and tiptoed to her window, peering cautiously outside. What she saw made her breath catch in her throat. In the darkness, she could see a figure standing on her porch. It was too dark to make out any features, but she could tell it was a man. He wasn't moving, just staring up at her window. Olivia was frozen with fear. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to call the police, but she didn't want to draw attention to herself and risk the intruder breaking in. She decided to wait and see what he did next. After what felt like an eternity, the figure turned around and walked away. Olivia waited for a few minutes before mustering up the courage to check outside. The man was nowhere in sight, but she found something strange on her porch: a small black bracelet with a silver emblem. The next day, Olivia went to the sheriff's department to report the incident. They took her statement, but they didn't seem very interested. They told her they would keep an eye out, but there wasn't much they could do. Olivia felt frustrated and scared. She decided to take matters into her own hands and start investigating. She went around town asking if anyone had seen anything suspicious, but no one had. She decided to focus on the strange bracelet she had found. It seemed like the only lead she had. She went to the local jewelry store and showed it to the owner, hoping he could identify it. He examined it carefully and told her it looked like a rare piece from the 1800s. Olivia was puzzled. How could a bracelet that old end up on her porch? She started researching the history of Millfield, hoping to find some answers. What she discovered chilled her to the bone. She found out that in the late 1800s, a serial killer had terrorized the town. His name was Edward Jameson, but he was known as the Black-Eyed Butcher. He had killed over a dozen people, mostly women and children, before disappearing without a trace. Olivia couldn't believe it. Could it be possible that the Black-Eyed Butcher had returned? She felt a shiver run down her spine. She knew she had to find out more. She started digging deeper, talking to the oldest residents of Millfield, trying to find someone who remembered the days of the Butcher. She finally found an old man who had lived in the town during that time. He told her about how the town had been in a state of panic, how people had started locking their doors at night and carrying weapons. He also told her about a house on the outskirts of town where the Butcher had supposedly lived. The house had been abandoned for years, but some people still claimed to see strange things happening around it. Olivia was intrigued. She decided to visit the house and see if she could find any clues. As she drove up the long, overgrown driveway, she could feel her heart pounding in her chest. The house was old and dilapidated, but still standing. The windows were boarded up and the front door was hanging off its hinges. She cautiously approached the door and peered inside. It was dark, but she could make out the shape of furniture covered in dust and cobwebs. As she stepped inside, she felt a sudden gust of wind and the door slammed shut behind her. She tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. She was trapped. She took out her phone, but she had no reception. She was alone in the dark, in a house that had once belonged to a serial killer. Suddenly, she heard footsteps. They were slow and deliberate, like the ones she had heard on her porch. She shone her flashlight towards the sound, but there was no one there. She could feel her heart racing, her palms getting sweaty. And then she saw it. A pair of black eyes, staring back at her from the darkness. She froze, unable to move or speak. The eyes were the only thing she could see, but she knew that behind them was the face of the killer. She could hear his breathing, slow and heavy. And then he spoke, in a voice that made her blood run cold. "Hello, Olivia."Olivia could feel her legs shaking and her voice trembling as she tried to reply to the killer. "Who are you? What do you want?" She managed to ask, her voice barely above a whisper. The black-eyed man remained silent, only watching her with a cold and steady gaze that made her fear for her life. Olivia knew that she had to do something to get out of this situation. She took a deep breath and tried to remain calm, thinking of a way to escape from the creepy house. Suddenly, she remembered the bracelet she had found on her porch. It would be her only weapon against the man. She put her hand into her pocket and pulled out the bracelet. Holding it firmly, she felt a surge of courage run through her veins. She pointed the bracelet toward the man as if it were a weapon and said: "Stay away from me. I know what you did, and I won't let you hurt anyone else." The man's black eyes widened for a moment before he let out a chilling laugh. "You're not going to stop me, Olivia," he said. "I've been waiting for someone like you for a long time. Someone who would help me complete my work." Olivia felt a wave of terror wash over her as she realized that the man was insane. She tried to keep her composure, but she was already trembling with fear. She knew that she had to act fast if she wanted to survive. Without warning, the man lunged at her. Olivia took a step back and swung the bracelet towards him with all her might. The man dodged the attack and tackled her to the ground, pinning her down with his weight. Olivia screamed and tried to push him off, but he was too strong. She felt his cold hands around her neck, choking her, and she knew that she was going to die. She could feel herself losing consciousness when suddenly, she heard a loud bang. The man let out a groan and fell to the side. Olivia coughed and gasped for air as she tried to get up. She looked around for the source of the noise and saw a police officer standing at the door, aiming a gun at the man. The officer rushed to her side and helped her to her feet. "Are you okay?" he asked. Olivia nodded, still in shock. She looked at the man on the floor and saw that he wasn't moving. She knew that he was dead. The officer escorted her out of the house and took her to the sheriff's department. They took her statement and filed a report. Olivia was grateful to be alive, but she couldn't shake off the feeling of dread that lingered in her heart. She couldn't believe that a serial killer had been living in her town all this time, and that she had come so close to being his next victim. She knew that she would never be the same again. The events of that night haunted her for the rest of her life. She never forgot the cold, black eyes of the killer, or the feeling of being trapped and alone in that creepy old house. But she also never forgot the courage she had found within herself when faced with danger. Olivia became a local hero, a symbol of bravery and strength in the face of terror. Her story was told for generations to come, a reminder to all that evil can lurk in the most unexpected places.

Sunbleached
As Roald sat in his dingy house with his hard working wife, the only thing that he could remember tasting that evening was the dust that seemed to settle down upon everything that the desert held inside of it. The mountains, the cacti, the animals, the roof, the cars, the sun-bleached metals that gave away from the paint that people always painstakingly put upon them, only for the color to fade anyways. It always tasted like dust and iron in his home, and even the dry chicken sitting in front of him smelled faintly of the sun’s powerful rays. And worst of all, he could hear that old washing machine groaning and trembling down the creaky old stairs to their basement. Oh, how he hated that sound. It made Roald grind his teeth inside his skull and it made his wrinkled hands twitch.
