I promise I’ll stay right next to you.” Before I can object, we’re all walking into the horror house together. The entrance is dark and creepy, with fake spider webs and scary music playing. I already want to turn around and leave. As soon as we get inside, everyone starts splitting up to explore different paths. The horror house is set up like a maze, with different rooms and corridors that all l

Fine with me.” The third thud made me jump to my feet. “I said fine, no need to get so loud!” “Not us.” Those two words sent cold chills down my spine. “That wasn’t one of you?” “Demon.

Black venom dripped thickly from its jaws, hissing where it splashed into the flooded mud, sending up clouds of acrid steam. Around its massive form, smaller horrors crawled through the rising water—mutated wolves with too many eyes, pale-skinned swamp leeches the size of dogs, twisted deer skulls sprouting spider legs. The air itself seemed heavier, fouled by rot and sulfur. Inside the house, silence reigned. Junie clutched Jade to her chest.

Dust sheets covered the heavy, ornate furniture, and the air was thick with the stale, stagnant scent of time.

All decorations and ghosts that you will see inside were designed, arranged, and played with our staff. Please refrain by breaking stuffs.” “If we ever break something, we can pay it, right?” Adira murmured from the side. Chadwick looked at her. Adira stared back at him and smiled.

Three days before Sheldon was supposed to leave the country, he mortgaged our house. He even helped us pack, moving me and the boys into a tiny one-room basement unit on the third floor down. It was barely 300 square feet and was damp, musty, and dark. Sheldon stood in the middle of that little room, talking to our sons as if he was giving some grand speech.

He was lying face down, and face up, all at once. I live in that house now. I am the village "fixer." And every night, I listen to the scratching beneath the floorboards.
