Dead Air
For Samantha Reed, working the midnight shift at WQTR 98.7 FM was less a job and more a long, sleepless stretch of white noise. A dead-end radio gig in a half-dead town. Four nights a week, she sat alone in the old station just off Route 9, tucked between cornfields and rusted telephone poles.

The Color That Waits
Ever since she could remember, seventeen-year-old Clara Monroe had been afraid of the color black. Not spiders, not heights, not death—black. It was more than a fear. It was a sickness in her chest, a clawing in her brain. Black wasn’t just a color—it was a presence. When she was a child, she told her mother that black people “watched” her. Her parents thought it was a phase. But it never went away.

The Pink Smoke
It started with a rumor, just like all stupid things do. A new drug hit the streets, something called Pink Smoke. Said to unlock your “true self.” Dealers whispered it wasn’t made in labs, but “gifted from elsewhere.” That alone should’ve been enough to walk away.

Echoes of Alcatraz
Sixteen-year-old Ryan Carter had watched every ghost-hunting video YouTube had to offer. With a beat-up camera, a flashlight, and more courage than common sense, he decided to become a legend himself. One night, armed with just his backpack and a crowbar, he rowed a stolen kayak across the choppy waters of San Francisco Bay, making his way to the one place every ghost hunter feared and revered—Alcatraz.

The Drowned Ones
The sun hung low over Silverdeep Lake, painting the still water with streaks of orange and crimson. A group of friends had arrived that morning, eager to spend their summer vacation far from the noise and stress of the city. The lakefront cabin they rented stood in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by dense forest and a heavy quietness that felt peaceful—at first.

Endless Summer
The sun never set on Seabreeze Cove. It was a perfect summer day—every single day. Warm golden sands stretched as far as the eye could see, waves lapped gently at the shore, and the air smelled of salt and sunscreen. For a group of six friends, it had started as the best vacation of their lives.

The Forgotten Carnival
It arrived without warning. One night, an empty lot on the outskirts of town lay barren, overgrown with weeds and forgotten by time. The next morning, a carnival stood in its place. No one saw it being built. No trucks. No workers. Just a towering Ferris wheel, a sprawling funhouse, and rows of striped tents beckoning with the promise of wonder.

Echoes of the Island
The ocean shimmered under the golden glow of the setting sun, waves lapping gently against the dock as the boat pulled away, leaving the group of tourists alone on the secluded island. The air smelled of salt and ripe fruit, the perfect vision of paradise.

Firelight Festival
Every summer, the town of Black Hollow came alive for the Firelight Festival. Lanterns bathed the streets in golden hues, fireworks crackled overhead, and the scent of roasted food filled the air. Outsiders called it charming, magical even. But for the townsfolk, it was a grim necessity.

Cabin 13. AI-Generated.
The lake stretched out like a sheet of black glass, reflecting the pale moonlight. The summer air was thick with the scent of pine, and the only sounds were the distant chirping of crickets and the occasional splash of a fish breaking the surface. It was the perfect getaway—or so they thought.
