"The Haunted Locket: A Ghost Story of Love and Revenge"
It was a dark and stormy night, and a group of friends decided to sneak into the old graveyard on the outskirts of town for a night of thrills and scares. As they made their way through the twisted, overgrown paths, they couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck a nearby tree, revealing a figure standing amidst the headstones. The group froze in terror as the figure stepped forward, revealing itself to be a rotting corpse risen from the grave. Its eyes glowed with a malevolent light as it began to shuffle towards them. The friends tried to run, but the corpse was too fast. It lunged at them, its rotting fingers reaching out to grab them. One by one, the friends were pulled into the grave, never to be seen again. The only survivor, a young girl, watched in horror as the corpse dragged her friends into the depths of the earth, their screams echoing through the graveyard. But the nightmare was far from over. As the girl lay curled up in a corner, shivering with fear, she heard something stirring in the graves around her. The dead were rising, drawn to the screams of the living. The girl realized that this was not just an ordinary graveyard, but a portal to the underworld. The girl ran for her life as the corpses poured out of their graves, their rotting flesh and empty eyes filling her with unspeakable terror. She could hear them closing in on her, their moans growing louder and more frenzied. Just as she thought all hope was lost, she stumbled upon a ancient tomb. She ran inside, slamming the door shut behind her and locking it. She could hear the corpses clawing at the door, trying to get in. She knew it was only a matter of time before they broke through. The girl was trapped, with no way out and no hope of rescue. She could only wait for the inevitable as the corpses closed in. And as the door finally gave way and the rotting dead swarmed in, the girl knew that she would be joining her friends in the grave, forever trapped in a nightmare of death and horror. As the girl huddled in the corner, she noticed something strange. The ancient tomb she had taken refuge in seemed to be different from the others. There were strange symbols and inscriptions etched into the walls. She couldn't read them, but they seemed to be some sort of protection or ward. She had a sudden realization that this tomb might be her only chance of survival. She began to frantically search for a way to activate the symbols and inscriptions. She tried different combinations of symbols, but nothing seemed to work. Just as she was about to give up hope, she saw a faint light emanating from one of the symbols. She realized that this was the key to activating the tomb's protection. She pressed the symbol and suddenly the tomb began to shake and the symbols on the wall began to glow brighter. The door of the tomb burst open and a bright light flooded the room. The girl shielded her eyes, but when she opened them again, she saw that the corpses had disappeared. The tomb had somehow sealed itself, trapping the corpses inside. The girl was safe, but she knew that she couldn't stay in the tomb forever. She had to find a way out of the graveyard. She searched the tomb for a way out and eventually found a secret passage leading out of the graveyard. She emerged from the passage to find the graveyard deserted. The storm had stopped and the sun was rising. The girl was alive, but she knew that she would never forget the horrors she had witnessed. She made a promise to herself that she would never return to that graveyard again. As she walked away, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was following her. She quickened her pace, not daring to look back. She knew that the nightmare was far from over and that the horrors of the graveyard would haunt her forever.

The Artist
I take my glasses off to wipe them, unable to read the words before me. After placing them back onto my face, I realize that it changed nothing. What did these words say? My mind doesn't keep up, yet my hand continues to move. Were these words my thoughts? Is my brain trying to protect me? I would've thought that at least focusing on a word would allow me to understand, but it doesn't.

The City of Shadows
Something sinister infused the air. It oozed out of cracks on the pavement, dispersed from the generic, flickering-tube-light lit shops – Raju Xerox, Prabheem Dry Fruits – and gathered momentum with the rapidly fading light, which cast a gloom over the whole city of Chhayapur, India (noteworthy attractions: non-existent), marking the end of another disillusioning day, indistinguishable from yesterday.

A Christmas Feast
It’s the week before Christmas, and people rush to do their last-minute shopping. The plaza’s décor is bright with festive colors. The parking lot lamps are decorated to look like giant jingle bells and candy canes. Christmas carols blare from the speakers mingling with the constant chatter of the shoppers. Eight-year-old Cody misses Massachusetts at Christmas. There it would be snowing, and you would have to wear a heavy winter coat and snow boots. The temperature would be slightly above freezing, causing your nose to run and your eyes to water. He can’t get used to the seventy-degree weather of Tucson and people Christmas shopping wearing shorts. Tucson certainly isn’t Massachusetts by any means. His father moved here for work. He is in the construction business, building houses, and in nineteen sixty-six, it is booming. His father told Cody he’d get used to it, to give it some time. Cody supposes he’s right, but he still misses snow. Tucson sometimes gets snow, but it’s way up on the mountains. It can look pretty. One other nice thing about Tucson is the night sky. You can see so many stars! Why just the other night, Cody saw at least twenty or thirty shooting stars falling toward earth over the desert. It was amazing.
