Rather than exploring the tried and true zombie tropes like extreme violence, gore, and disease as its mainstay, this film turns to a much deeper message instead.

Music. Content Warning.
Ellis sat down at his piano and gently pressed a key. The thing was still in tune, thank the Forgotten Gods. Behind him, the locked closet door rattled gently, almost like it was being called by the one, continuous note. Ellis looked back, a weary smile on his lips, right on time.

The Wendigo. Content Warning.
The sun was starting to set. Normally, as it fell beyond the mountain-lined horizon, the flaming star painted the sky a kaleidoscope of reds, oranges, pinks, and occasionally blues. But today... it was grey. A solemn, cool grey. The bleak color dyed the meadow, the long grass, and the emaciated trees nearby into something edging on the brink of ominous. What little wind there was made the grey grass whisper and the skeletal trees rattle. I could hear no birds, no crickets, no frogs, or the squeaks of bats. Not even an owl. If I concentrate, I don’t think I could have heard my own heart.

The Hypnotic Abyss
The typhoon out of doors changed into relentless. Rain lashed in opposition to the windows and the wind howled like a tortured spirit. within the dimly lit residing room, the air felt thick with tension. Mark sat in his armchair, eyes closed, his respiratory even and serene. His older brother, Alex, paced nervously, his fingers trembling as he clutched a small pocket watch. It had begun as a game a harmless trick to entertain themselves all through the power outage. Alex was analyzing approximately hypnosis and the notion it might be a laugh to try it out on Mark. Hed by no means imagined matters would spiral so far out of manipulation.

The Witch of Keres Street
I’m not actually a witch, you know. That doesn’t stop me from having a little fun. I’m an elderly reclusive widow whose house is a gray Victorian with beautiful purple turrets that stands on a little hill. On stormy nights it would stick out in the skyline starkly contrasted by the bright waves of lightning.

Everything will be okay
The television crackled, black and white fuzz dancing indiscriminately across the screen for minutes at a time until finally a picture began to appear. Grainy and miscolored at first, the image of D Edgar Rite, Dr of disease and pathology, materialized out of the scattered lines and fuzz. He was seated at the large studio desk of channel 9 news, his name plastered across the banner that bordered the bottom of the screen followed by his extensive credentials.

Mnemonic
The first thing I noticed was the coldness. I was lying on the floor, and the chill from the concrete seeped through my clothes, sending shivers up my spine. I blinked rapidly, trying to clear the fog in my head. The room around me was dimly lit, casting long, eerie shadows on the walls. Panic surged through me as I realized I had no idea where I was—or worse, who I was. I forced myself to sit up, taking in the sparse surroundings. A single lightbulb swung gently from the ceiling, casting a weak glow over the space. There was a heavy door on one side of the room, but it was locked, the large steel frame giving no hint of escape. A small desk sat against the opposite wall, cluttered with papers, but my attention was drawn to the constant ticking sound that filled the room. I stood up slowly, my legs wobbly beneath me. Reaching into my pocket for any clue, my fingers grazed a crumpled piece of paper. Pulling it out, I unfolded the note and read the words carefully: *"Find the key before the clock strikes twelve, or everything will be lost."* I read it again, confusion settling in. What key? What clock? I scanned the room for answers but found none. The ticking grew louder as I focused on the sound. My eyes landed on a large grandfather clock in the far corner, its hands slowly edging toward the twelve. A sudden wave of fear washed over me. I had no idea what would happen when the clock struck, but the urgency in the note was clear—I had to find the key. I moved quickly to the desk, rummaging through the papers. Most of them were old, brittle, covered in writing that made no sense to me. Names, dates, diagrams—none of it rang any bells. My mind raced, desperate for a clue. As I sifted through the mess, flashes of memories began to surface, hazy and indistinct. A woman’s face, smiling warmly at me. A large, old house—was it this one? And then, a sensation of falling. I shook my head, trying to clear the fog. There was no time to linger on fleeting memories. I had to stay focused. My fingers brushed against something solid beneath the papers. I pulled it out—an old, rusty key. My heart leaped, but it was too early to celebrate. The note hadn’t told me what the key opened, and time was running out. The clock’s ticking seemed louder now, each second feeling like a countdown to something ominous. I searched the room for anything the key might fit, running my hands along the walls, checking the drawers of the desk, but nothing seemed to match. Frustration gnawed at me. Where was the lock? What was I missing? Another memory hit me, clearer this time. I was standing in a room much like this one, arguing with someone. I couldn’t make out their face, but I could feel the tension between us. There was something important I needed to do, but they were stopping me. Then, a sharp pain—was it from a fall? No, it was something else…something darker. I gasped as a sharp knock echoed through the room. I hadn’t noticed it before, but there was a small door hidden in the shadows near the clock. I rushed over and knelt before it, inspecting the lock. It was old and intricate, the kind that seemed to belong in a different century. Without hesitation, I inserted the key and twisted. The lock clicked open just as the clock began to chime. I yanked the door open, my pulse racing. Behind the door was a small compartment, and inside was an envelope. I grabbed it, ripping it open as the clock continued to chime in the background. Inside was a single photograph. It was of me—standing with the same woman from my fragmented memory. She was smiling, her arm around my shoulders, but something about the image felt wrong. Her eyes seemed too dark, too cold. My heart pounded in my chest as the final memory came rushing back. She had tricked me. The woman in the photograph wasn’t my friend, wasn’t someone I cared about. She was the one who had locked me in this room. She had taken my memories, left me disoriented and lost. I didn’t know why, but I knew I had to stop her. I stared at the photograph, realizing that finding the key had been just the beginning. The real challenge was yet to come. The final chime of the clock echoed through the room, and the light flickered ominously. Whatever time I had left was slipping away. But now, I had a target. I knew who I was hunting, and I wouldn’t rest until I found her. The game had just begun. Thank you so much for reading **"Mnemonic"**! 🗝️ I hope you enjoyed the twists and turns of the mystery and the journey of unlocking hidden memories. Your time and support mean the world to me! 😊 Stay tuned for more stories and adventures ahead! 📖✨

The Cage
Tony had known before even stepping on the boat that this was a bad idea. No, not a bad idea a stupid idea. The worst his friend Dave and his wife Kathleen, or Kat as she now liked to be called had ever come up with. Like the new haircut, and sports car she’d gotten recently ever since that women over forty empowerment weekend she’d been making a lot of changes. Changes that Tony had done his best to support, but the thrill-seeking was probably where he should have drawn the line. Especially, when it started to include him.
