Tonight, we’ll spend some time with a lonely person keeping watch in a lonely place. My heart goes out to those people with necessary, but terrible jobs, and this one takes the cake. Close your eyes and imagine our scene—night is falling slowly over the ocean, and a soft breeze is sifting through the branches. Happy families seem to be packing up quickly at the nearby nature park, spooked by a feeling they cannot name. Through the empty hallways of a forgotten building nearby, a voice echoes. But no one else but us is around to hear it. This story is called:
"I work at an abandoned military base. I know there’s something they aren’t telling me."

July 14, 2023 3 Short HORROR Stories to CHILL YOU on a Warm Summer Night
"Our bedroom door was open. And there was a long, Jess-shaped lump under the covers. "Let's check Mom and Dad's bedroom!" I said to the kids. Pattering footsteps as they charged behind me.
I reached for the light switch--flicked on the lights--then grabbed the hem of the comforter and yanked it off.
My heart dropped.
The bed was empty."
"My wife and I have been playing hide and seek for three days straight", "I found a body in the woods. But there’s something… wrong… with it", and "Last night, I got a reCAPTCHA. There was something horribly wrong with it." were all written by Blair Daniels.

July 14, 2023 At My University Students are "Dropping Out" in DROVES
“Don’t ever ask that again, alright?”
What?
I turned around. Did the prof just whisper what I thought he did?
He doubled down with a hushed response.
“I’m not gonna say anything about it, but a word of advice. For your own good, just listen to the material and study it. You really don’t wanna be asking people around here questions like that. Are we clear?”
