But the truth settles in my chest the moment the gates open and I realize that’s the stupid lie I keep telling myself as the car climbs the last stretch of the mountain road, tires crunching softly over thin ice. The sky is already dark even though it’s barely evening, the kind of early winter darkness that makes everything feel heavier than it should. Surprisingly there were Christmas lights that seem to flicker faintly in the distance, giving a warm glow against the cold. Such mundane festive displays look wrong up here.

Thomas said, “Open them slowly.” My heart hammered against my chest. I opened my eyes slowly, and the light I hadn’t seen in over a decade flooded my vision. I could see blurry silhouettes shifting in front of me. I could see a window. I could see the flowers. I could see the sunlight, trees, and birds outside the window. I could see them all. “I can see… Dr. Thomas, Julian, I can see!” This was a moment I had waited over a decade for. Dr. Thomas hurriedly said, “You mustn’t cry. Your eyes cannot handle any irritation right now.”

Ryan Christmas with my family was better than I could have ever imagined. The look on the twins faces as they unwrapped gifts after gifts gave me more satisfaction than any other thing, but what crowned it all was Julia. I was transfixed by her and hadn't even meant to tease her, but the sight of the redness crawling up her cheek made me want to actually tease her just to see her reaction. There was a comfortable silence between us as Olivia's favourite melody, a soft piano piece, played in the background while I helped set the table and she stood across from me, placing the bowls of dishes on the dinner table.

he demanded. Her laughter drifted through the pipes. Soft. Pleased. “Everywhere,” she replied. “And so are they.” The lights cut out completely. Total darkness. Then emergency red flared back on. And the corridor was no longer empty. They were surrounding us.

I said in a long litany while holding the debatable series light I had bought earlier. I immediately turned it on and circled it around its tombstone. I also reached for my guitar and immediately took it out of the box and immediately started playing its tune. “We were supposed to be singing inside of our dim light small house. We are happy and goofing together with our small house with just us two,” strumming while saying those words makes my heart missed him more. The whole place started to get darker and my series light was the only light I had and his gravestone.

Amelia cried out in pain, her eyes briefly losing all light. Panic set in as she screamed, "Samuel! Samuel, what's happening?! I can't see anything, I'm blind…" Without hesitation, Samuel dove into the lake and saved my mother. He tried to revive her with all he could do, but she showed no signs of life. Meanwhile, Amelia scrambled to her feet. Guided by the dim light, she zeroed in on Samuel. Her eyes were wild with fury as she hissed, "You're going to pay with your life!"

3rd January, 1999(morning) The Warehouse Lana Its a never ending circle. A repeated sequence I experience everyday, locked up in this room with little or no contact.

"Good because we don't want you to go either. So stay, please?" "Fineeee, you twisted my arm!"

I don't want something like this changing just because we are here and honestly, the thought of Josh being on his own tonight, waking up on his own on Christmas morning makes me kind of sad. No one should wake up alone on Christmas day. I've lived on the streets all my life and still, I've never woken up alone on that day.

The words were a low, gravelly vibration that seemed to settle in the quiet of the hallway. “Merry Christmas.” Olivia didn't move. For several long seconds, the only sound was the faint hum of her refrigerator from the kitchen and the distant chime of a neighbor’s television. She stood there, frozen, looking like a dream he’d had a thousand times—only this time, she was real, and she was looking at him with a heart-stopping wariness.

Chapter 1 Elena's POV The living room glowed with warmth, the fire crackling against the chill of the snowy night outside.
