A Letter to the New Homeowner. Content Warning.
Sleepless nights have kept you drained, searching and searching for someone you know is there, but cannot find. Every creak is a possible footstep from some ruthless home intruder. Yet, even when you doubt yourself you have those thoughts scratching at the back of your mind. Every night I see you check the entrances three times and three times exactly, every lock on every door and every window. Ironically, your safety is your greatest concern in this wonderfully comforting house. Every night you feel the prying of eyes during your most intimate moments. You hear whispers and groans you can’t identify, but you swear they are there. I will tell you everything.

The Death's bargain
The first time Samuel Voss saw Death, he was seven years old. It happened on a cold winter evening when the wind howled through the cracks of his family’s farmhouse. His mother was coughing blood into a handkerchief, her skin as pale as the snow outside. The doctor had left hours ago, shaking his head, muttering about consumption and the inevitability of things.

The Blue Checkmark
She tried to scream, but the sound stuck in her throat like shards of broken glass. The figure visible in the window remained motionless, standing there against the flickering neon of the motel—an obsidian outline pressed against the glass as if it had stamped itself on her soul.

Things You Can't Say three. Content Warning.
The way that he spoke to me felt so damn patronizing. The whole ‘good girl’ thing was really starting to get under my skin. Especially the cooing tone that he was using to say every single damn ‘compliment’. It was really starting to piss me off. And this sudden urge to just hurt him was overwhelming for me. An idea to just headbutt him in the balls cropped up as I stood there. Eating the worst version of chili dogs that I had ever eaten in my life. It wasn’t terrible tasting but terrible looking. I dismissed the violent thought while I was eating my food the best that I could. There was no way in Hell that would go over well. He would retaliate with worse violence. After all the man can easily lift and carry me around like I’m a ragdoll. It makes me fear what he could do to me if he was properly angry with me and not just lifting me around.

Ghosts of the Secret City: The Haunted Caves of Viengxay, Laos
The Secret City of Viengxay: A Ghostly Legacy of War and Survival Deep in the mountains of northeastern Laos, shrouded in mist, is the Secret City of Viengxay, a ghostly testament to one of the 20th century's greatest atrocities. During the Vietnam War, this limestone cave city was a refuge for Lao civilians and thousands of communist Pathet Lao soldiers from daily U.S. bombing raids and thus it came to be "City of Victory." Now its history as a site of survival is combined with spooky tales of residual hauntings, so it is one of Laos' most historic and haunted locations.

Don't Answer the Third Knock
The rules were simple: One knock, ignore it. Two knocks, ignore it. Three knocks—whatever you do, don't answer. I laughed it off. Urban legend nonsense.

Buried in Earth that never forgets
The night was also wrapped in darkness and was silent amidst the whisper of the forest by covering all the silence. Zurian was dead in his hut built in the middle of the forest, he did not do any other work other than digging his grave for the last few days. He had only a companion in the forest, a white wolf, who always lived with him. After Zurian's death, the wolf dragged him to the grave. He laid Zurian in the grave and paid him a final tribute. As dark clouds gathered in the sky, heavy rain began to fall. The wolf got down in the grave, and shortly after, the grave was covered by water with his deep silence.
