• December 16, 2025The Unmarked Virgin Cave and Primal Horror

  A narrator and his former caving partner, Ryan, who discover an unmarked, collapsed cave on the narrator’s new property, tempting them back into the dangerous hobby he had previously abandoned.

Their exploration turns deadly when a pale, fast creature attacks, injuring Ryan as they attempt a frantic escape through the narrow entrance.

• December 15, 2025Delivery App's Cursed Triple Pay Route

  A gig worker employed by a food delivery app who, driven by financial need, accepts a triple-pay delivery to an address famously avoided by all other drivers. After repeated deliveries where the food is left untouched and instructions become increasingly bizarre, the narrator breaks protocol and enters the desolate residence. Inside, they are violently attacked by a long-limbed, pale, monstrous entity in the kitchen and barely escape by smashing through a window. When the narrator reports the incident, the police dismiss it as a false claim from an overworked employee, finding nothing unusual. The story concludes with the same high-paying triple-pay order appearing in the app the next morning, implying the terrifying cycle continues.

• December 14, 2025Containment Protocol: Marionette

  A member of Phantom Echo, a highly classified military special operations unit, recounting a disastrous mission to an abandoned research facility in Wyoming. The team was sent to investigate missing local police officers, only to discover that the officers had been mutilated and displayed as grotesque human sculptures in the facility’s basement.
  Their investigation is cut short when an unfathomable, bulletproof entity attacks, decimating the experienced team. The narrator is the sole survivor, rescued by an unidentified military team in futuristic armor, who use advanced thermal weapons to sterilize the scene, incinerating all remains, including the creature and the fallen officers.
  In the aftermath, the narrator is discharged under psychological duress, with all official records erased and the incident attributed to a fatal training accident. He is left with a single cryptic photograph and an invitation to join the mysterious organization that saved him.

• December 13, 2025Jasper's Watch: Protection on the Thin Land

  A man who retreats to a remote cabin after the death of his old dog, Jasper, only to discover that the land is a "thin place" attracting malevolent entities. Locals offer cryptic warnings that the area sits on ancient burial grounds, but the narrator’s grief makes him vulnerable. He begins hearing unsettling, specific sounds—whining and footsteps—that suggest something is mimicking his deceased dog to gain entry.
  The climax occurs when a grotesque creature violently smashes into the cabin, forcing the narrator to defend himself. In a twist, the monster is attacked and destroyed by a spectral, wolf-like entity, which he recognizes as the protective spirit of Jasper.
  In the end, the man accepts this new reality, leaving the cabin door slightly ajar as both a permanent welcome and a signal to his loyal ghost dog that he is still standing guard.

  A married couple on a remote retreat. The husband fondly recalls his wife’s eccentric habit of asking if he would still love her if she were a grotesque insect.

In the end, the narrator accepts the monster as his true love, affirming his answer to the unsettling hypothetical question from earlier.

• December 11, 2025The Fifth Place at the Barnes Table

  The story is told from the perspective of a small-town cop, Officer Brims, in rural Iowa, investigating the disappearance of the Barnes family. Upon entering their home, he discovers the entire family dead at their dinner table, apparently victims of a dark ritual, evidenced by a pentagram carved into the ceiling and an open journal.
  The journal reveals the parents’ attempt to resurrect a lost child, which required a sacrificial offering and resulted in the manifestation of a grotesque, massive entity now feeding in the dining room. A violent confrontation ensues, forcing backup to arrive and subdue and destroy the creature in a shootout that destroys much of the house.
  The narrative concludes with an immediate and ruthless cover-up: authorities fabricate a gas leak story and burn the Barnes residence to the ground, erasing all evidence of the supernatural event.

Soon, he begins hearing recurring three-part knocks on Sunday nights, unsettling him and terrifying his dog, yet he refuses to heed the warnings. Despite glimpsing a strange, unsettling figure outside through a peephole, Tom remains defiantly resistant to the town’s rule. By Monday, Tom has mysteriously vanished, leaving only his distressed pet and a scorched three-finger mark on the door frame.
