The Shrinking - Part 2
Here is Part 1 Darkness. Silence. A sensation of being nowhere and everywhere at once. Then—whispers. At first, they were distant, floating in the void like echoes trapped in a vast, unseen chamber. Then they grew closer, curling around me like fingers reaching through the dark.

The Mystery of the Howling Wolves
The Mystery of the Howling Wolves It was an ordinary evening in the quiet village of Perumalpuram, a small yet developing settlement surrounded by dense forests. Life in the village followed a simple routine—farmers returned home after a long day in the fields, children played near the temple, and women prepared dinner as the scent of wood fire and spices filled the air. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the villagers finished their evening meals and settled in for the night. The streets, once bustling with chatter and activity, grew silent except for the occasional barking of stray dogs. Everything seemed peaceful, just as it had always been. But then, at exactly 8:00 PM, a chilling sound shattered the calm—a long, deep howl, followed by another. It was unmistakable. Wolves. The eerie howls echoed through the village, bouncing off the mud houses and narrow lanes, sending a wave of fear through the people. Wolves were unheard of in Perumalpuram. The forests nearby were not known for such creatures, and for as long as anyone could remember, no one had encountered a wolf in these parts. Inside their homes, families held their breath, listening. "Did you hear that?" Murugan, the village head, whispered to his wife, gripping the edge of his wooden cot. "Yes," she replied, fear evident in her voice. "It sounded close." Similar conversations took place in every household. Some elders recalled old tales of spirits taking the form of animals, while others believed it might be a sign of something worse. But no one dared to step outside. For an entire hour, the village remained frozen in fear as the howls continued, sometimes near, sometimes distant. The street dogs, usually noisy at night, were strangely silent. Even the cattle in the sheds seemed restless, their occasional shuffling breaking the stillness. By midnight, the howls ceased. Yet, nobody in the village slept peacefully that night. The Morning After As the first rays of sunlight touched the village, bringing with it the warmth of a new day, the fear of the previous night began to fade. The villagers cautiously stepped outside, looking around, half-expecting to find signs of the wolves—paw prints, scattered remains of prey, anything. But everything seemed normal. The fields were untouched, the cattle unharmed, and the streets just as they had been the day before. There was no evidence that any wolves had ever been there. "This is strange," muttered Arumugam, an elderly farmer, as he inspected the ground near his house. "If there were wolves, shouldn't there be tracks?" "Maybe we imagined it," suggested another villager, though he did not sound convinced. But they had all heard it. The sound was real. Curiosity grew, and a few brave men decided to search the outskirts of the village. They ventured toward the nearby forest, stepping cautiously over fallen branches and dried leaves. The deeper they went, the more unsettling the silence became. And then they found something. Near a small clearing, under the shade of an ancient banyan tree, lay two sets of paw prints. They were large, deeper than what a normal wolf’s would be, as if the creatures had been heavier than usual. But the most disturbing part was that the tracks ended abruptly, as if the wolves had simply vanished into thin air. No signs of struggle. No signs of a trail leading away. Just… nothing.

Jinns of Graveyard ( Based on true events )
The night was weighty with quiet, and the moon cast creepy silver light over the old memorial park at the edge of the town. Nobody considered wandering close to after sunset, for stories of the memorial park's dull occupants had been passed down for ages. They discussed the Jinns — creatures of smoke and fire, concealed however ever-present, murmuring to the individuals who thought for even a second to intrude.

Living In Mirror
Ever since I moved into my new apartment, something about the mirror in the bathroom felt... wrong. It wasn’t just the dim lighting or the odd angle at which the mirror was mounted. There was an unnatural quality to it—a faint hum in the air whenever I stood in front of it, like the mirror was alive and waiting for something.

The Teacher is a Monster
It started when Ms. Caster joined our school halfway through the fall semester. She had an air of mystery about her, with her long, black hair always perfectly in place and those sharp green eyes that seemed to see right through you. She rarely smiled, and when she did, it looked forced—like she had to remember how to do it. But no one thought much of it at first. New teachers are always a bit odd, right?

The Hollow Men
The Hollow Men In the quiet, fog-shrouded village of Greywick, nestled between jagged cliffs and a restless sea, there was a legend that no one spoke of after dark. It was the tale of the Hollow Men—faceless entities that roamed the moors, their forms shifting like smoke, their presence heralded by the sound of hollow footsteps echoing in the mist.

My Bloody Valentine
My Bloody Valentine is a glum little slasher flick from 1981 about a mining town—presumably somewhere in West Virginia—where everyone is just ga-ga-gooey over a Valentine’s Day dance. Naturally, everyone works in the mine, and everyone knows the urban legend about a miner named HArry Warden, who was trapped in a cave-in and ate his co-workers. He gets locked up in a notorious urban legend-style mental home before being let loose—or escaping (I never did quite get this part right)—donning an oxygen mask and a hard hat with a lantern on top, and setting out to avenge his... well, I don’t suppose it would be his death, but his madness, at the very least.

Reparative Pal Program Ten
After this, John got bored of this gently setting me back in the wheelchair. Taking great pains to make sure that I wasn’t jostled too much. He treated me like I was made from a fragile kind of glass that would break otherwise. But I ignored that as he cleaned up the trays first. John had taken them back to the kitchen or wherever they went when we were done with them. Then came back to me and wheeled me down the hallway. Straight towards another room that was twice the size of the room I had just been in. Maybe even a bit bigger than the cafeteria that I briefly saw some time ago on the way to Alya’s office. There were several tables that were just like the tables in the other room as well. A large T.V was set up against the farthest wall. Right in the middle of it at a height that most of the patients wouldn’t be able to reach. On it was a channel that had played what I had seen in passing in town.
