I was a few minutes away from wrapping up work on my first day at the new station when I received a call from a man called Simon Green. There had been a triple homicide; it was a family. My partner Anthony and I arrived at the scene with a few other officers and found the couple and their kid on the floor. Their necks had been snapped. We questioned Simon about the incident. He said that he was a friend of the family, and an electrician by profession. Simon said that they had asked his help to repair some wiring issues the day before, but he had been too busy back then and could arrive at the scene only a little while ago. Seeing the condition the house was in, I was surprised that anyone would want to buy it. According to Simon, the family had been going through some financial trouble, so this was the best they could do for the time being. Inspecting the house, something seemed off. There were no signs of a break-in, but there were signs of a struggle. Had they invited their killer in...

  I was working on my latest novel one day when I got a call from the lawyer of my estranged aunt Agnes who had passed away recently. She had called me to come to the reading of my aunt’s will. It was strange. She and I had a falling out years back and had not talked since, so why would she leave behind anything for me? I soon learned that she had left her estate and house for me. I moved into the house a few days later; it was larger than I remembered. That night, I went to bed early because I was too tired, but later that night, I was awakened by noises. The house was so old and bore a haunted look overall; walking through its halls gave me an eerie feeling, as if someone was watching me all the time. It was quite the coincidence since my novel was also about a girl trapped in a haunted mansion. I inspected the house, but found nothing. Strange incidents like that happened every now and then, with me hearing footsteps in the attic, or the piano playing randomly at late hours. I t...

  I was on my daily run when a Labrador suddenly ran up to me and blocked my path. I tried to run around it, but it suddenly spoke to me. “Don’t be afraid, I mean you no harm,” it said, making me almost fall on my back from shock. “What in the… Am I dreaming?” I asked myself before pinching my arm. No, I was awake. “I assure you I’m real.  I’m a man trapped in a dog’s body and I need your help,” it said. “How is that even possible?” “My wife did this to me. I stumbled across her performing witchcraft recently, and when I asked her what was happening, she told me she was a demon who needed people’s souls to survive. She made me promise to keep her secret, but even if I could have kept it to myself, I couldn’t bear to be around her after what I had heard. One day, I tried to skip down without her knowledge, but she found out and cursed me, placing my soul in this dog’s body.” “This is unbelievable… But how can I even help you if you’ve been cursed by a demon?” “I don’t know, but...

When Mary was born, her parents Arun and Maria were still living in an apartment in the city. As she grew older, however, they decided to buy a house in the suburbs so she would have a larger space to play in. When she was four, they bought a rather old but affordable house that still looked new. The area was rather secluded, but there were still plenty of neighbours around, so they thought there was nothing to fear. After moving in, Mary soon discovered an old doll that was still in good condition. Arun and Maria found no harm in letting her keep it since she seemed fond of it. During the first two weeks at that house, May played outside in the backyard for hours every day. As time passed by, however, that began to change. She grew more and more recluse, wanting to spend time alone in her room, just with the doll. Her parents tried on many an occasion to take her outside, but she refused each time saying the doll didn’t want to be left alone. Maria told her she could take the doll out...

  “Anya, are you okay, hon?” My mom’s voice brought me back to my senses. I had walked into the kitchen, although I could not recall why. “I… I didn’t remember why I came to the kitchen.” “Maybe you should get some rest. You must be still exhausted after yesterday’s game.” “Okay, mom.” I went back upstairs and sunk into my bed. Was I really tired? My body felt fine; it was just my mind that was foggy. It was then that a familiar voice resurfaced in my mind. “You forgot again, Anya. I need you to go back; you need to kill your mother.” “What? No! I’m not killing my mom!” “You will obey me,” the voice said. I suddenly sensed a chill course through my body; it felt as if thousands of needles were sinking into my skin. There was a presence to that voice that was far more sinister than anything I had ever felt before. Right then, my mom walked into my room. “Anya, were you talking to someone?” I shook my head. “No, mom.” Mom asked me whether I wanted some tea. I nodded and said yes. As ...

As a child, I was fascinated by stories of time travel. When I became an adult, I worked tirelessly to make it a reality. Years of hard work paid off when I finally managed to build a portable time machine. But that same day, the machine malfunctioned for a brief moment and sent me back thousands of years through the passage of time. I woke up to find myself in ancient Rome; I was just outside the colosseum. Two guards looked at me with furrowed brows. As they began to approach me, I got up and ran without a second thought. The soldiers chased me through the town, but I managed to lose them by dissolving into a crowd near some markets. I then made my way into some nearby woods and soon found myself near a village. Sticking to the thickets and shrubs, I tried to activate the time machine, but it didn’t work. I had no other option but to steal some clothes and find work nearby. I did heavy labor by day and tried gathering whatever scraps I could to repair my time machine by night, but it...
