The Summer That Never Ended

The car rumbled down the winding road, swallowed by towering pine trees and the thick scent of earth and rain. Ryan sat in the backseat, forehead resting against the cold glass, watching as the world blurred past him. His parents sat in the front, chatting idly about the upcoming vacation, while his younger sister hummed a tune, oblivious to his reluctance. A summer trip. Another forced excursion into some distant town his parents had chosen in an attempt to "bring the family closer." As if that ever worked. He was already overwhelmed with stress—college applications, constant pressure, and the gnawing feeling that nothing in his life made sense. He didn’t need this trip. He needed time alone. The town they arrived in was nothing spectacular. A small coastal village, hugged by rolling cliffs and open fields, with streets so quiet they felt frozen in time. The air smelled of salt, and the wind carried the distant echoes of seagulls. It was the place where everyone knew everyon...

Whispers in the Fog

Image
  Derek moved to the small town seeking peace, a place where he could escape the weight of his past. He found solace in the simplicity of his new life and quickly fell into a routine. Every evening, after returning from work, he would take a walk in the nearby park—a quiet, serene place with towering trees and a small pond at its centre. One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon and the shadows grew longer, Derek noticed something strange. A dense fog began to roll in, much thicker than usual, curling around the trees and the path ahead. The park, usually inviting, now seemed shrouded in an unsettling gloom. He hesitated but continued his walk, his footsteps echoing on the gravel path. As he approached the pond, he noticed a figure standing at the water's edge—a woman, her back turned to him. She was dressed in an old-fashioned gown, her long hair cascading down her back. "Hello?" Derek called out, his voice trembling slightly. The woman did not respond. Instead, s...

The Unseen

Image
The old house stood at the forest's edge, abandoned for years. It loomed like a forgotten memory, shrouded in shadows. The villagers whispered about strange lights and unexplained noises, but no one dared to venture close—until tonight. The moon hung low, casting eerie patterns on the ground. The door creaked open with a mournful wail. The air was heavy with the scent of decay and something foul, like the stench of fear itself. Inside, the darkness was almost tangible, pressing in from all sides. The floorboards groaned underfoot, every step feeling wrong. Shadows danced in the corners, forming shapes that were not quite human. The temperature dropped suddenly, and a low hum began, barely perceptible at first but growing more insistent. It was a sound that crawled under the skin, making the hairs on the back of the neck stand on end. It seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere, a disembodied presence that filled the space. A slightly ajar door at the end of the hallway stood as a...
