The Scribe of Shadows
Author:Bernard Webb
I'm a horror author with a secret: I write in total darkness, a ritual to ward off a crippling paranoia that someone is stealing my words. But my paranoia has become my terrifying reality. I just received a letter from the main character of my unpublished novel. He's alive. He thinks I'm God. And he's trying to break through the page to meet his maker. Now, every word I write ripples into the real world, and I'm losing control of the story... and my sanity.

The Architect of Echoes
Author:James Daniels
I'm a programmer, a man of logic. I built an app to fake ghosts, a masterpiece of digital deception. My mistake wasn't in the code; it was in my arrogance. I thought I was simulating whispers in the static, but I was building a bridge. I created a recursive loop that amplified a signal from beyond, giving it form, a voice, and a hunger. It took my best friend. Now, it wears his memories and whispers my name in the dark. I built its cage, and now I'm trapped inside with it.
