The Gateway of Shadows horror story
A long-forgotten alleyway was known as the Gateway of Shadows in the New England town of Black Hollow, deep in the misty valleys. It was a narrow, brick-lined passage hidden between two derelict buildings. Those who dared step into it at night spoke of strange whispers, a creeping chill, and the sensation of unseen eyes watching from the dark. Some people said it was cursed, while others said it was just superstition. Emma Reynolds, an investigative journalist with a fascination for urban legends, had come to Black Hollow to write a piece on the eerie alley. She had talked to the locals all afternoon, but they were reluctant to talk about it. The silence was finally broken by an old man at the only diner in the town. “It doesn’t lead anywhere,” he muttered, stirring his coffee with a shaking hand. "Not in your way of thinking. You enter the building and, with luck, exit again. If you are not...” He stopped speaking and refused to elaborate. Emma decided that night to go to the Gateway of Shadows, despite her doubts and curiosity. To keep track of everything, she brought a flashlight, a notebook, and her phone. She stood in front of the alley's entrance at 11:45 p.m. A single person could barely fit through the narrow passage. The bricks were damp with moss, and the ground was uneven with cracks. A musty, decayed scent lingered in the air.

The Last Train Passenger
The Last Person on the Train Rahul looked at his wristwatch. 11:45 PM. He arrived late. The last train would leave in five minutes. He would spend the night in this deserted town if he missed it. His frantic sprint through the dimly lit platform echoed in the eerie silence. Except for a few flickering tube lights and an elderly station master resting at his desk, the station was empty. Unusual stillness permeated the air. There were no passengers, no announcements, just an unsettling silence. He heard the distant horn of an approaching train as Rahul ran. The final train. The train's wheels were slamming into the rusty tracks as it sped into the station. With a loud creak, the doors opened.

How To Be A Good Wife?. Top Story - February 2025.
“Look, I stopped telling you what to do because you hate it when I nag you, but this was something that you wanted!” Evric rolled his eyes and groaned, “I said I will do it and I’ll do it when I want to! Jeez!” “But it’s been two weeks since you said that. As your wife, I need to be supportive of your goals and make sure you achieve them”, reasoned Bianca. “There you go again, guilt tripping me!” Bianca gasped, “Guilt tripping you?! Do you even hear yourself?!” “Any good wife would just let me be! Let me do my own thing at my own pace! Why is it always a rush with you? Don’t you understand that I need to be ready and prepared to do it?” “Yes, I understand that”, explained Bianca, “But you’ve already bought everything that is necessary for you to do it. Seems prepared enough to me.” Evric looked at his wife in utter disbelief, “Mentally! I need to be prepared mentally to do it as well!” “I don’t understand. You had two weeks to do that.” “I was thinking of ways to do it effectively and I was out purchasing the things needed. You know I don’t multitask well.” “Yes, I’m sorry about that.” “Schizophrenia is so difficult to deal with. So, please cut me some slack”, pleaded Evric. Shocked would be an understatement to what Bianca felt. Evric knew what she was thinking, “I’m sorry Bia, I should have told you sooner. I was diagnosed a few months ago. That’s why I decided that it’s about time that I do it. I think it’s for the best.” “I think it’s a wonderful idea, but I wish you would have told me about this sooner. You know I’ll support whatever decision you take.” “You know what? I’ll do it tonight. I think I’m ready. No, I know I’m ready!” “I’m so happy for you! Please know that no matter what, I’ll always love you” “I love you too, Bia”, Evric smiled and kissed her. ~~~~~ “Helium asphyxiation?” “Yup, that seems to be the case, considering the helium tank and these equipments”, gestured at them Louis vaguely. “What’s taking the coroner so long?” asked Gary. “Beats me. Also, the wife definitely needs to be questioned. I was told she sounded very calm during the call.” “Poor woman must have been in shock. I mean, who wouldn’t be if their husband committed suicide? “I don’t know, Gary. It didn’t seem normal to me. She hasn’t shed a tear since we arrived and it didn’t seem like she had been crying either.” “What are you trying to imp—” Bianca interrupted their conversation, “I made some tea. Would you like some, Officers?” Louis gave Gary a see-what-I-mean look before he addressed Bianca, “Thank you, Mrs. Luft but we need to bring you in for questioning.” “Sure, I’m happy to be of help, Officer.” ~~~~~ “Were you at home when your husband, ummm…when he took his life?” asked Gary. “Yes I was, Officer”, Bianca admitted. “Were you asleep?” “No, Officer.” “Were you in the kitchen or some other parts of the house?” “No, Officer.” “Damn it! Then, where were you?!” Louis slammed his fist on the table. “As a good wife, I sat beside Evric to support him and watched him do it. It only took about fifteen minutes!” __________________________________________
