Strange noises
The old house remained toward the finish of Willow Road, covered in murkiness and secret. It was a spot the townsfolk murmured regarding in quieted tones, where bizarre events were said to occur. It had been deserted as far back as I could recall, yet I had forever been attracted to it, as though some undetectable power was pulling me closer.

Parasocial . Content Warning.
Smiling into the camera, she talked about something on Twitter. There was something off about her, a tiredness, or an anxiety that I could not put my finger on. Maybe I was projecting. But none of that mattered, her words were so much empty space now, a time capsule of entertainment. A frozen moment.

Wraithmoor Haunting Shadows
Once upon a bone-chilling autumn night, deep within the heart of a city named Eldertown, a spine-tingling legend whispered its sinister secrets through dimly lit alleyways and lingered in the minds of its terrified inhabitants. They shared hushed stories about a place known as the "Wraithmoor Mansion." This imposing edifice, wrapped in a perpetual shroud of mist, loomed at the city's outskirts like a cursed relic from a forgotten era. Inside its eerie walls, a supernatural horror awaited those brave or foolish enough to enter. The eerie tale of Wraithmoor Mansion traced back to the early 19th century when it was constructed by a reclusive and enigmatic inventor named Ambrose Wraithmoor. Ambrose was rumored to possess an insatiable hunger for forbidden knowledge, plunging recklessly into the darkest abysses of the arcane. His experiments took a malevolent turn, spawning whispers of his unholy pact with an otherworldly entity. Locals muttered about unholy rituals held within the mansion's concealed chambers, where the line between the living and the dead blurred ominously. The citizens of Eldertown, gripped by fear, eventually united against Ambrose Wraithmoor. On a fateful night, they stormed the mansion, determined to end his reign of terror. The confrontation that ensued was nothing short of nightmarish. As the frenzied mob invaded the mansion, a cacophony of blood-curdling screams and eerie laughter filled the air. Shadows danced in unnatural patterns, and the very walls appeared to breathe. Some swore they glimpsed grotesque, wraith-like apparitions that whispered promises of eternal life. Driven to the brink of madness, the determined mob battled their way through the spectral horrors that infested the mansion. In its heart, they found Ambrose Wraithmoor himself, his eyes blazing with an otherworldly light, standing before a ghastly portal to another realm. Fueled by desperation, they overwhelmed Ambrose and forced him into the malevolent portal. With a deafening roar, the portal slammed shut, devouring Ambrose and imprisoning the mansion's dark secrets within its sinister walls. The mansion was forsaken, and an eerie curse seemed to settle over Eldertown. Locals claimed they heard faint cries and the anguished wails of souls trapped in limbo. The mansion itself crumbled and decayed, its haunting legend growing with each passing year. Fast forward to the present day, and a group of thrill-seekers and paranormal investigators, including the fearless journalist Sarah Thornton, resolved to confront the mystery of Wraithmoor Mansion. Sarah assembled a team of experts in the occult, a medium, and a historian to assist her in the expedition. As they ventured into the mansion's overgrown garden, an oppressive heaviness enveloped them, as if the very atmosphere conspired to suffocate their courage. The mansion's foreboding walls loomed before them, casting long, ominous shadows. Sarah led the way, her heart pounding with a potent mix of excitement and trepidation. Inside the mansion, they discovered rooms suspended in time, their contents shrouded in layers of dust and decay. Amelia, the medium, quivered as she sensed the lingering presence of restless spirits. Professor Alan Crane, the historian, began unraveling the mansion's grim history. Soon enough, they stumbled upon a hidden chamber, concealed for decades. Within, they unearthed a cryptic journal, its pages adorned with mysterious symbols and incantations. As they deciphered its contents, they realized it was Ambrose Wraithmoor's journal—a chilling testament to his descent into madness and his desperate quest to return from an abyss beyond. The mansion itself seemed to awaken, its walls groaning and the air turning icy. Shadows slithered across the floor, coalescing into grotesque and twisted forms. Sarah and her team found themselves trapped in a nightmarish realm, a place where the boundary between life and death blurred ominously. In a heart-stopping climax, the spectral figure of Ambrose Wraithmoor emerged, his hollow eyes boring into Sarah's soul as he whispered forbidden secrets and offered promises of unimaginable power. The room resounded with a nightmarish chorus of screams and unearthly laughter. Desperate to escape the mansion's malevolent grip, Sarah and her team recited an incantation from the journal, hoping to seal the portal and banish the malevolent spirit. The room convulsed, a vortex of darkness spiraling around them. In an instant, the mansion fell silent, and they found themselves outside, the mansion reduced to a crumbling ruin. They had survived, but the harrowing horrors they had witnessed would forever haunt their dreams. The legend of Wraithmoor Mansion endured, its dark secrets awaiting the next generation of seekers. Eldertown remained a place where the living and the dead coexisted, a chilling reminder of the consequences of meddling with the supernatural. As for Sarah Thornton and her team, they emerged forever changed, their encounter with the otherworldly etched into their souls—a grim testament to the enduring power of urban legends and the unspeakable horrors lurking in the shadowy corners of our world.

Grandma Always Said that Grandpa Wasn't Right
I’ve been taking care of my grandma lately. She’s been doing pretty bad and she needs someone there to help her almost twenty-four-seven. She’s got some kind of bone disease, it's basically turning her bones into Swiss cheese, and I’ve had to carry her to the bathroom and room to room for the past two weeks. This might seem kind of tiresome to some people, but I’m glad to do it. My Grandma and I have always been close, she basically raised me since my mother was never at home. If I can give back to her now, I consider it fair.
