A Pinch of Death. Content Warning.
It was a dark and windy Halloween night, the moon going behind the clouds, obscuring what little light it emitted. There was a looming, gothic mansion with an overgrown garden in the yard and rusted gates with a padlock and chains. Dakota, a curious teenager, decided to enter the mansion alone. He'd seen plenty of his classmates dare each other to enter the place, but the most they would do was just touch the front door. Dakota, however, wanted to explore the inside like the urban explorers he watched on YouTube.

The Cry That Never Ended” – The Haunting of Shaniwar Wada
Shaniwar Wada is a saga of grandeur, power, deceit, and tragedy. Shaniwar Wada is located in the ancient city of Pune.

The Silence Beneath Alder Lake
The village of Alderwyn sat quietly at the edge of a vast, mist-covered forest in northern Europe, where winters stretched long and the sun often seemed reluctant to rise.

The Man from Taured: The Traveler from a Country That Doesn’t Exist
Some travelers arrive late... Some arrive early. And then there are those who arrive… from places that don’t exist! In the summer of 1954, a man stepped off an international flight into Tokyo’s Haneda Airport. He carried a suitcase, spoke calmly, and presented a passport like any other traveler. But within minutes, airport officials realized something was wrong. Because, according to his documents, the man was from a country called Taured. A country that had never existed.

The Shadow Diagnosis
In 2026, we stopped talking to humans about our problems. It was too expensive, too slow, and frankly, too judgmental. We turned to "Aura-Psych." For $9.99 a month, the app uses your front-facing camera to analyze your micro-expressions and heart rate, providing "real-time spiritual and mental alignment." But when Maya’s app updated to the "Deep-Scan" version, it didn't just find anxiety. It found a second heartbeat.
