the Shed
There was only one rule: Don’t open the door... I should have listened. I was a girl, just shy of ten, who often stayed with my great-great aunt. She was an odd woman, with a cigarette either dangling from her pruned lips or held carelessly in her left hand. Her house always smelled faintly of cigarettes and the solid stink of Dog. My mother left me with her regularly, and yet my aunt would always escort me outside.

Can Ghosts Exist? Faith Holds the Answers
There’s something about ghost stories that stays with you long after the tale is told. It’s not just the fear of the unknown—it’s the unsettling sense that something hasn’t been resolved. Whether it’s the chill that creeps down your spine or a strange moment you can’t quite explain, these experiences leave behind more questions than answers.

How do these encounters align with Scripture’s teachings about life, death, and the afterlife?

There was only one rule: don’t open the door. You could step on the overgrown lawn, toilet paper and egg the house to kingdom come, videotape it like it was the setting of a kid's shaky Halloween video. You could even go, knock on the door, and run away from whatever supposed urban legend the kids said was supposed to come out.

The Whispering Woods [Unedited]
Authors note: This is the original piece I wrote with the challenge 'Spooky Micro' in mind, I was only just under double the word limit, so had to do some serious editing to get it down to fit the microfiction challenge.

There was only one rule; don't open the door. If only they had listened. Why didn't they listen? Hillary and Jake were on night watch. It's a simple enough assignment. You sit at the officer's station and keep your eye on the door. Luther wasn't going anywhere.

The whisper behind the door
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. Yet, as Mia stood in the flickering candlelight, that single command seemed impossible to follow. The soft knock on the other side had been barely a whisper, but it carried an unsettling familiarity. Her heart pounded in her chest, drowning out the warning she’d been given.
