The system he controls is turning against him, and the train is coming to collect.

The Lucent
Author:Eleanor Abernathy
Four years ago, my neighbor's botched demon summoning banished our entire luxury apartment building into a cosmic void. We survived on magically-refilling fast food and the fragile sanity of our neighbors. We had weirdos, cults, and a janitor's closet with seven eyes. Life was predictable horror. Then, a new woman appeared in the food court. She was perfectly normal, eating her orange chicken like it was Tuesday. And in a place like this, nothing is more terrifying than normal.
The End of the Line
Author:Carrie Moreno
When Elara dials a suicide hotline, she isn't met with a voice of comfort, but an invitation to a digital hell. A mysterious van, a network that traps broken souls, and a smiling doppelgänger on a screen reveal a nightmare she can't wake up from. Now marked by the system and haunted by a shadowy echo of herself, Elara must fight the monster that feeds on despair—a monster that has decided she is its next permanent resident. The call was a mistake. Answering was a death sentence.
The Midnight Countdown
Author:Elias Shade
Five friends, a campfire, and a ritual found online. It was supposed to be a joke. But when my nightmare of their gruesome deaths starts coming true, one by one, every seven days, I realize we didn't summon a spirit. We awoke a predator. Now I'm the last one left, racing against a ticking clock, haunted by the dream that became my reality. The entity is invisible, unstoppable, and at midnight, it's my turn. But I refuse to die like they did. I will stare into the eyes of my killer, even if I have to tear a hole between worlds to see them.

For five years, Leo has been haunted by the day his first love, Emilia, was stolen by a silent, faceless being under an open sky. The world called it a hoax, but Leo knew the truth. Now, on the fifth anniversary, a new message appears—a poem in her handwriting, a desperate whisper from a dark, unknowable place. His annual pilgrimage of memory has become a frantic rescue mission. He will follow her echo into the void, even if it means confronting the silent things that watch from beyond.
The Silent Trail
Author:Corvus Shade
For two years, my Sunday hike was a sanctuary of perfect, predictable silence. But one day, the trail changed. The trees grew too close, the birds fell quiet, and the woods began to watch with a thousand bark-skinned eyes. I ran from the impossible, looping labyrinth, and thought I had escaped. But I was wrong. The forest followed me home, and now its suffocating silence is everywhere, waiting in every shadow, calling me back to the path where the world ends.

Now, he must uncover the secret of her horrific death before her decay consumes him entirely, dragging him into a small town's forgotten grave.

A stone beetle, uncannily lifelike, that called to him. Now, it moves when he's not looking. It whispers in his dreams. It has unfolded its bladed legs in his sleeping hand, and it demands more than just a place on his shelf. It wants to burrow deep, to collect a price paid in blood and sanity.
What Happened at Storyland

They are memories of a childhood she can't remember. And the monster that was buried at Storyland Park is waking up, calling her back to unearth a truth more horrifying than she could ever imagine.
