Some trucks shouldn’t be cleaned.

When Martin Avery is told to prep truck 1177 for its next driver, it sounds like a routine end-of-shift job. The cab smells foul—wrong in a way he can’t explain—but a job is a job. He’s heard the rumors. Drivers who refuse to climb inside. Whispers. Shadows. Stories meant to scare new hires.

He doesn’t believe in ghost stories.

But once the door shuts behind him, the air changes.

The darkness feels thick. The grime won’t come off. And something inside the cab does not want him there.

Truck 1177 is a slow-burn supernatural horror story about isolation, dread, and the kind of evil that doesn’t chase you—it waits.

In the year 2054, time travel isn’t a fantasy — it’s a job.

Until the day she’s told that someone she cares about is gone.

June, 1982. The Pentagon has a problem.

Nearly one in four new military recruits can’t read at a functional level. Orders are misinterpreted. Equipment logs are signed with an X. Mistakes aren’t embarrassing—they’re dangerous.

Desperate for a solution, a hardened brigadier general does the unthinkable: he reaches outside the military establishment and into the most unexpected corner of American culture.

What follows is a tense, darkly funny confrontation between rigid command structure and bright plastic chairs… between national security and children’s television… between a man who wins wars and a group of people who teach the alphabet.

Inspired by real events, Operation Puppet Master explores a bizarre and almost-forgotten moment when two very different American institutions collided—and neither side was prepared for the other.

Sharp, absurd, and rooted in truth, this story asks a quiet question beneath the humor: What happens when the people who shape young minds refuse to shape soldiers?

Nicholas Vaughn believes he’s untouchable.

Wealthy. Powerful. Protected.

Tonight, he’s dining in private with a man who appreciates the finer things in life — rare wine, precise conversation, and balance.

Power isn’t earned. It’s engineered.

In Pawns and Rooks, a disgraced Washington power broker tells the story of the rising political star he built from nothing—only to watch him deny ever knowing his name when the scandal hits.

Peter Merritt thought he was climbing the ranks on talent and ambition. He never realized someone else was paying the bills, arranging the meetings, and pulling the strings from the shadows. In politics, no one rises alone—and no one falls without a reason.

This is a dark, cynical political drama about manipulation, ambition, betrayal, and the illusion of merit inside the machine of power.

He planned everything.

The chocolates.
The backup sweater.
The cash in case his card declined.
The perfect entrée.
The extra coffee to stretch the night just a little longer.

Months of courage led to one beautiful evening filled with laughter, chemistry, and the fragile hope of something real.

And then… it happened.

First Date is a dark comedy about over-preparation, romantic anxiety, and the one catastrophic variable no man can ever truly control. Told as a frantic, humiliating, and increasingly desperate monologue, this story captures the precise moment when a promising romance collides headfirst with biological betrayal.

He flips the switch once. Then again. Twice for luck.

In a rain-soaked railway switchhouse in 1897, Elias Grange clings to ritual as if it can hold back fate itself. Every pull of the lever is an act of penance. Every click is a promise that nothing else will burn. But grief does not obey order—and guilt does not rust away.

As storms flood the tracks and electric light threatens to replace the old lantern glow, a quiet standoff unfolds between control and forgiveness, between memory and mercy. Clara writes. Elias pulls the switch. Both are trying to outrun the same fire.

This is not a story about trains. It is a story about obsession, about the rituals we build to survive our worst mistakes, and about what happens when we are forced to let them go.

What happens when the “good kid” finally says the one word no one is supposed to say?

Little Timmy has always used his good words.
He says “please.” He says “thank you.” He apologizes to bugs.

But when kindness is rewarded with cruelty — and polite words are used to excuse unkind behavior — something inside him quietly snaps.

And one honest, one-syllable word changes everything.

This darkly humorous short story explores language, hypocrisy, bullying, and the strange way adults fear sounds more than intentions. It asks a deceptively simple question:

If certain words are “bad”… why do they hurt less than the polite ones?

Grady Hart rides into a town that should have stayed buried.

Perdition is a place of dust, silence, and unfinished business—a town filled with ghosts of the living and the dead. Grady came searching for answers about the missing year that tore his life apart. Instead, he finds accusation, betrayal, and a past that refuses to loosen its grip.

Saul Barlow was once his commanding officer. Once, a brother in arms. Now, he’s a man who believes Grady deserted his unit and left good men to die. Grady doesn’t remember what happened. Saul does.

As old alliances fracture and long-buried resentment erupts inside a dim saloon, the truth edges closer—but not without blood. And with Saul’s final words, a new name surfaces from the shadows:

Private Tom Parker. Atlanta, Georgia.

The mystery deepens. The cost rises.

This is not a story about redemption.
It’s about memory, guilt, and the men who survive war only to fight it again.
