The Other
Somewhere beyond the little yellowed faces peering out from the wallpaper, are screaming souls. How do I know this? I put them there.

Ryan had always been fascinated with technology. As a teenager living in a small town, he was known for being the go-to guy whenever someone had an issue with their gadgets. His room was cluttered with the latest devices, all in various stages of disassembly and repair. But none of those gadgets compared to the new smartphone he had just received—a prototype so advanced that it wasn’t even on the market yet.

Whispers of the Forgotten
Whispers of the Forgotten It was the kind of day where the sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the quiet village of Rupnagar. The air felt heavy, thick with the dampness of the nearby forest. The village was small, a collection of old, crumbling houses with weathered facades. But the forest that loomed behind it was ancient, its trees towering and tangled, as though holding secrets of a time long forgotten.

"The Silent Visitor"
It was a cold, rainy night when Emily found herself home alone for the first time in months. Her parents had gone to a dinner party, leaving her with a bowl of popcorn and a few horror movies to keep herself entertained. She loved the thrill of a good scare, but tonight felt different. The house was eerily quiet, and the rain pattered against the windows like tiny fingers tapping to be let in.Halfway through her movie, Emily heard a faint noise coming from the kitchen. She paused the film, listening intently. It was probably just the old house settling, she thought. But then she heard it again—a soft creak, like someone stepping on a loose floorboard.Emily's heart began to race. She grabbed her phone and slowly made her way to the kitchen, her bare feet silent on the hardwood floor. The kitchen was dark, but she could make out the silhouette of the refrigerator and the outline of the table and chairs. She held her breath, waiting for another sound. But there was only silence.She let out a small laugh, feeling a bit foolish. "It's just my imagination," she whispered to herself. Emily turned to head back to the living room when she saw it: a shadow moving in the hallway out of the corner of her eye. It was quick, almost too quick to notice, but she was sure she saw it.Her hands trembled as she flicked on the hallway light. "Hello?" she called out, her voice wavering. No response. She slowly walked down the hallway, glancing into each room, but everything was exactly as it should be. No signs of anyone else.As she turned to go back to the living room, she saw it again—a dark figure standing at the end of the hallway. This time, there was no mistaking it. The figure was tall, its face hidden in shadow, and it stood completely still, as if waiting for something. Emily's breath caught in her throat. She blinked, and the figure was gone.Panic surged through her body. She ran back to the living room, grabbed her phone, and dialed her mom's number with shaking fingers. No signal. The rain outside intensified, battering the windows more violently than before.Suddenly, the power went out, plunging the house into darkness. Emily's breathing quickened as she fumbled for the flashlight app on her phone. The beam of light flickered to life, casting long, eerie shadows on the walls. She could feel the presence of someone—or something—watching her.She backed up against the wall, clutching her phone like a lifeline. Her eyes darted around the room, searching for any sign of movement. And then she heard it again—the creak of a floorboard, this time much closer."Whoever's there, please go away!" she shouted, her voice breaking.A low, raspy whisper responded from the darkness, "I'm already here."Emily's blood ran cold. She turned the flashlight towards the source of the voice and saw the figure standing just a few feet away. Its face was still hidden, but its eyes glowed faintly in the darkness. She wanted to scream, but no sound came out.The figure took a step closer, and Emily's instincts kicked in. She bolted towards the front door, flinging it open and sprinting into the rain-soaked night. She didn't stop running until she reached her neighbor's house, pounding on the door frantically.The neighbors let her in, and as she tried to explain what happened, she glanced back at her house. Through the rain and darkness, she saw the figure standing at the window, watching her with those faintly glowing eyes. And then, just as quickly as it appeared, it vanished.The police searched the house thoroughly but found no signs of forced entry or anyone inside. They chalked it up to Emily's imagination playing tricks on her in the dark. But Emily knew better. She knew what she saw. And she knew she was no longer alone in her own home.

In a town forsaken by the sun’s embrace, Where shadows fell like a silken lace, There lived a girl with raven hair, Whose eyes reflected depths of despair. Her name was a murmur in the breath of night, A tale concealed from morning’s light. She wandered through streets that knew no dawn, Her presence felt but seldom seen, withdrawn. The house she called her place of rest, Stood lonely and cold, a spectral nest. Its windows, misted with eternal tears, Guarded secrets of forgotten years. Each night, she lit a solitary flame, To battle darkness in its cruel game. The flame flickered, casting dancing ghosts, On walls that whispered of lost, aching hosts. Her dreams were haunted by spectral forms, By faces pale as winter storms. Their voices sang a mournful cry, A melody that pierced the sky. One fateful eve, the wind began to howl, A lament that made the shadows scowl. She followed the mournful, eerie sound, To a place where no solace could be found. A graveyard lay beneath the sable sky, Where forgotten souls in silence lie. A figure stood amidst the ancient stones, A spectral man, with hollowed bones. "Come closer, child," he beckoned near, His voice a whisper of deep-seated fear. She took his hand, so cold, so frail, And ventured with him through the darkened vale. They wandered past the tombs of old, Where stories of the damned were told. The stars above began to wane, As they journeyed deeper through the pain. The moon, a witness to their stride, Guided them where shadows hide. They stopped before a weathered stone, Inscribed with names of lives unknown. Here lies the girl with raven hair, Her eyes shadows of despair. She knelt beside the mournful grave, A shroud of sadness she could not stave. For in this place of endless night, Her soul had long since taken flight. The man then spoke, his voice a chill, "Now you see the final thrill. This world was never meant to hold, The stories of the broken and the bold. Return to dust, embrace the gloom, And find your peace beyond the tomb." She closed her eyes, her heart so still, A final breath, a soul to fill. The wind grew still, the moon grew pale, As in the grave, her spirit frail. The town below, with whispers filled, Of the girl who in darkness, was stilled. Her tale became a haunting lore, Of the girl who lived and felt no more. Her name, a whisper in the breeze, A shadow dancing with the trees. In the echo of the moonlit grave, Her story lingers, dark and grave. For in the silence of the night, The girl with raven hair takes flight. Her soul adrift in shadows deep, Where dreams and darkness softly creep. Her name, a whisper, never clear, A tale of sorrow, forever near. And in the heart of that forsaken town, Where night’s embrace has settled down, The story of the girl with darkened hue, Forever lives in whispers, old yet new. Each moonlit night, her spirit roams, Through the spectral mist, she finds her home. In whispers soft and shadows cast, Her legend lives, and shadows last. For in the quiet, where darkness reigns, Her spirit wanders, free from chains.

The Game of Invisible Bonds
The "Bhooth Bungla" was a historic manor home in Shantipur, an ancient town where the past seemed to linger in every corner. The house was the focus of many local stories because of its tall spires and walls covered with ivy. The story of "Adrishyo Bondhoner Khela"—The Game of Invisible Bonds—was the most enigmatic, nevertheless.

Becoming Beast
My mood, once an extraordinary and fleeting element, was now a beast of its own, prowling just beneath the floor, looking forward to the slightest provocation to strike. And while it did, it left destruction in its wake broken friendships, harming emotions, and the sour taste of remorse. It was extra than simply anger, although. something deeper, greater primal, became awakening inside me. My senses sharpened, my body felt stronger, greater effective. I'd capture myself in the reflection sometimes, gazing at the person who seemed lower back at me. changed into that definitely me? My reflection appeared off, as even though my eyes had been darker, more holes.

Purgatory's Angels. Content Warning.
A small room in a derelict inn. Pretty typical of its sort: cheap and effective. Unlike me now. Maybe it’s better that way. At least I know God has a sense of humor. A darkly twisted one at that. Who gives life to madmen and life to memories? All we’re gonna do is remember the bad and…
