However, not all damage goes away in a flash. Apologizing is not as effective as some silences. It takes years of no communication for some families to learn how to listen. If They Answered is a sequel to Unread Messages, but it's a different choice, one answer that changes everything, but not magically. A tale of second chances, healing that is hard, and when people finally choose to stay. Status: Online.

    (Book 1: The Beginning Of The End) The world didn't end with a bang. It rotted. One second, everything was normal. The next-everything collapsed. Death came fast. What followed came faster. The dead didn't stay dead. They kept moving. And they didn't stop. December Hayes was never meant to survive a world like this-soft, untrained, unprepared. But survival doesn't care who you used to be. It strips you down and forces you to become something else. Saved by a stranger who trusts no one and trained like a weapon just to stay alive, December is thrown into a reality where hesitation gets you killed-and mercy can be more brutal than death. Because out there, the infected aren't the only monsters. And sometimes, the most dangerous thing in the world... is still human. --- © All Rights Reserved 2026

    In the sweltering heat of an April summer, the Abaddessa family travels from Pasay to General Trias, Cavite to inspect an old Spanish-era house that promises a fresh start. The two-story ancestral home seems perfect at first. Its polished wooden staircase, shuttered windows, and faded family portraits carry the charm of another century. But the moment young Nina glimpses a pair of glowing red eyes staring from the darkened landing, the family realizes something inside the house is watching them. As night falls, whispers echo through the halls, footsteps scrape across the roof, and voices begin mimicking loved ones with terrifying precision. Guided by the warnings of Lola Esang, the family matriarch steeped in Filipino folklore, the Abaddessas uncover the house's bloody history and the presence of an aswang lurking within its walls. Armed with blessed oil, salt lines, prayers, and ancestral rituals, the family must survive a night of escalating horror while confronting their own fears, grief, and disbelief. As the creature grows stronger in the darkness, their only hope lies in staying together and trusting the traditions they once dismissed. Red Eyes on the Stairs is a chilling Filipino supernatural horror story about family, faith, and the terrifying power of forgotten legends.

    "They destroyed everything... but I still have my dream." Her name is Mei, a soft-hearted, innocent girl with a little silliness in her smile, stars in her eyes, a voice made of magic, and a big dream hidden in her chest. She lives in the crowded lanes of Shanghai, sharing a tiny home with her struggling family a strict mother, a quiet father, a protective older sister, and a mischievous little brother. She has just passed 8th grade and is now in 9th class, walking that thin line between childhood and reality. But Mei doesn't want an ordinary future. Life demanded survival more than dreams, but deep in her heart, Mei held onto one stubborn wish to become a voice artist, to give life to characters, to speak stories into the world, to be heard for who she truly is. But her family doesn't understand. "Voice artist?" they laugh. "That's not a real job," they say. "It doesn't earn money. It won't feed you." So they push her toward ordinary jobs, safe paths the kind that crush the soul but pay the bills. But how do you silence a dream that keeps whispering to you? In a world that tells her to shut up, can Mei find the courage to speak and be heard? Grief-stricken and broken, Mei is thrown into a reality where nothing feels real anymore. Betrayal, secrets, and ashes are all that remain of the life she once knew. And behind it all... someone close was pulling the strings. But this is not just a story of tragedy. It's a story of fighting back. Of chasing dreams when you've lost everything. Of finding light when the world turns to smoke. Of a girl who had nothing left except her voice. And this time... she's going to use it. .

    He was just a broke gambler from Boston looking for fast cash. Now Jake McCoy is Subject 15. This is his private journal. Every ugly thought. Every paranoid spiral.

The pieces of the puzzle he was never supposed to see. One pill. One bad decision. And a psychological nightmare that might already be too late to escape. If you like dark, gritty thrillers with flawed-as-hell protagonists and zero filter, start reading. But fair warning: Jake isn't polite. Neither is this story.

    INTRODUCTION: THE VILLA OF BROKEN ECHOES "The woods have eyes. But the basement... the basement has a heartbeat." It was the ultimate victory. Five strangers, united by a legendary gaming tournament win, forged a bond supposed to last a lifetime. They were a powerhouse squad: A CBI Agent, a Police Officer, a Hacker, a Corporate Heir, and a Crime Writer. When they found a majestic villa hidden in the forest for a suspiciously low rent, they ignored the local legends. To a team of professionals, "haunted" was just a word used to sell cheap real estate. But as the oak doors creak shut, logic begins to bleed. The air turns thick with the scent of old copper. Shadows move without a light source. And every night at midnight, a rhythmic, mechanical hum vibrates through the floorboards-an industrial growl from a basement that should be empty. Is it a curse? A spirit? Or something far more physical, waiting with surgical patience to claim its prize? In this house, the stakes are no longer digital. There is no 'Respawn' button. 5 Friends. 1 House. 0 Escape. ⚠️ AUTHOR'S ADVISORY This is a dark psychological thriller. Read at your own risk: THE HAUNTED ILLUSION: The atmosphere feels paranormal, but the terror is chillingly real. THE ART OF BRUTALITY: Contains explicit graphic violence and Body Horror. This story explores the "preservation" of the human form. If you fear the sound of a chainsaw in the dark, turn back. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CAPTIVITY: Themes of isolation, abduction, and intense dread. The killer doesn't just want you dead-he wants you eternal. Step inside. But remember: once the basement door opens, the screaming never stops.

    𝙒𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙬𝙨 is Medicine Park's kind of trouble-the quiet kind. The kind that shows up with a crooked smile, dust on his boots, and a truck that's always half-packed like he's already decided he doesn't belong anywhere long enough to stay. He doesn't stay. Not for people. Not for places. Not for anything. 𝙎𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙮𝙡𝙮𝙣 𝙅𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨 is the town's golden girl. Sweet tea smiles, Sunday dresses, and a future written in ink by a powerful father before she ever learned how to question it. She's polished. Perfect. Untouchable. Until the festival. Until the lights, the music, the dare of a girls' night meant to mean nothing... and him. Wren doesn't come for love. He comes for money. The bet is simple: make the preacher's perfect granddaughter fall for him, win, cash out, and disappear like he always does. Easy. Until it isn't. Because Sunnylyn isn't just the girl everyone thinks she is-and falling for her stops feeling like part of the plan and starts feeling like a mistake he can't afford to make. Then the truth cracks open. She has a son. Four years old. Her whole world. A secret she's buried since she was seventeen. A truth she's terrified will destroy the only thing that finally feels like hers. And Wren? He was never supposed to know. Now every stolen moment feels heavier. Every touch feels like a line he shouldn't cross. And every lie starts to sound dangerously like the truth. When everything unravels, Wren is left with one question burning in the wreckage: Was she ever just a bet... or the first thing that ever made him want to stay? **✿❀ ❀✿** 🩷Dual Pov 🩷𝙎𝙇𝙊𝙒 𝘽𝙐𝙍𝙉 🩷Bet X Love

    Aikou Kichi is the kind of person who always smiles. The kind who laughs with friends. The kind who says "I'm fine" even when he clearly isn't. The kind people slowly grow worried about without understanding why. But guilt changes people. And sometimes, the past refuses to stay buried. Between school festivals, late-night conversations, arguments, laughter, amusement parks, and the quiet moments in between, Aikou and his friends slowly begin drifting into a complicated web of emotions they no longer understand. Love starts feeling selfish. Friendship starts feeling possessive. And comfort slowly turns into dependency. As hidden scars rise to the surface, the bonds between the group begin to crack one by one. Yet behind all of it lurks a strange figure known only as The Fool - a smiling man whose brief appearance leaves behind fear, trauma, and questions nobody can answer. Because some people destroy lives without ever touching them. And as Aikou struggles between the person he pretends to be and the person he truly is, one terrifying question remains: If everyone wears a mask... what happens when the mask becomes the face? A psychological drama filled with mystery, symbolism, emotional conflict, fractured friendships, hidden trauma, and the quiet horrors of being human. A/N: If you are worried about the hook I'd suggest read chapter 1 and 2 then judge. I will publish a new part/chapter every Thursday(or so I'll try 😭)
