Fool's Gold
Fool’s Gold There was only one rule: Don’t open the door. A true rebel, Jessie flouted the warning sign above the door. In practiced kickboxing fashion, she lifted her combat boot-wearing leg, and kicked it like David Beckham’s last goal. The lock gave without protest and the door swung open in a puff of old dust. Jessie marched into the ancient cellar and a small bottle glinted alone on a faded wooden shelf, swirling with a golden liquid. She picked it up and felt a tingle run through her arm. The label announced, “Don’t drink me.”

Lament of the Soul
"There was only one rule: don’t open the door.” Oh, but please, I need to see beyond! I am trapped in a timeless expanse, where days and nights blur into a soul sucking void of nothingness. Why am I not radiant and unburdened by the weight of the physical. Why doesn't my soul float serenely in the vastness of space and time, singing its song of harmony with the universe.

Midnight Terror Part 1: Rajiv's Cursed Mansion
Midnight Terror Part 1: Rajiv's Cursed Mansion One quiet evening in the Indian city of Pune, I was sitting with my friend Ram at a café overlooking a busy street. The sky was darkening, and the air was filled with the aroma of Indian food and spices. At that moment, a strange question crossed my mind that I had been hesitating to ask Ram for a while. I had heard about an abandoned mansion at the end of Baner Street, next to a small lake. The horror stories surrounding the mansion were being told by people in the city, but I had not known many of the details.

The One Rule. Runner-up in Spooky Micro Challenge.
There was only one rule – don’t open the door. Yet here he stood, with a flame flickering in the draught that slithered through the frozen stones. It cast a dancing yellow halo around the markings engraved deep within the panelling.
