The Tragedy of Eden's Gate by Maeve-Ashford

When a dark situation leads Theo to the quiet village of Eden's Gate, where the residents are odd and the pool of friends severely lacking, he's less than thrilled. The town is a miserable means to an end. And, to make matters even worse, he's pretty sure the house is haunted. Cold spots, flickering lights, a shadow that won't stop following him- a recipe for a haunting, and for a complete disaster. Sam is a vengeful spirit, cursed to walk the halls of his own murder scene for the rest of eternity, doomed to an afterlife of dismal solitude. And then his favourite resident goes and dies, the house is given to new people, and Sam discovers - quite by accident - that the boy sleeping in his room can see him. And he is the only one who can help Sam solve his murder. ───── • ⋆⋅⛧⋅⋆ • ───── Status: Complete Story length: 40,000 words ONC 2023 Prompt: • They were not real, everyone told me they were not real.

"Roses in Blood" Morrigan Vale appears to have it all-a thriving career as a criminal psychologist, a sharp intellect, and a calm, composed demeanor. But behind closed doors, she harbors a dark secret. Fueled by a deep sense of justice and a past she cannot forget, Morrigan has become judge, jury, and executioner for those who escape the system's grasp. Her victims are the wicked: child abusers, corrupt figures, and those whose sins have left scars on the innocent. To the world, they're cases gone cold or tragedies swept under the rug. To Morrigan, they're canvases-meticulously planned and executed with the precision of an artist. Her calling card? Blood-red roses blooming in the aftermath of her reckoning. Detective Caleb Blake is no stranger to the failures of the justice system. Haunted by his own mother's unsolved murder, he's determined to uncover the truth behind the chilling crime scenes that bear Morrigan's signature. What he doesn't know is that the killer he's hunting is closer than he could ever imagine. As Morrigan's dual lives intertwine, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur. Can she outsmart the system she once worked to protect? Or will her carefully constructed façade crack under the weight of her own sins? In a world where justice is flawed and morality is gray, how far would you go to ensure the wicked get what they deserve?

NOTE: I messed up with the POV's on Chapter 10, because each chapter was supposed to switch POV's.

Flee the Forest(Horror story) by Fangkun6

((This is targeted to people 16+)) The smell of blood was overwhelming. The scent of the short teen used to have was gone, replaced with the putrid smell of death and rot that covered the whole room and the killer himself. Blood smudged all over the teen and onto the older man as he attempted to escape. He got hungry and tired. He just wanted to eat and then sleep. He was preparing the girl, cutting her body apart and tearing the flesh off the bones, which is why the room was such a mess with her blood. Now, he had the boy in his hands. The hunger overtook him. The sharp pain of large "canine" teeth being plunged into his neck made Cameron scream. It was cut short, his whole body freezing up as the crazy man sunk his large fangs into his neck, ripping a large chunk of the boy's flesh in between his teeth. The pain only got worse when he felt the killer tug harshly, pulling his flesh out... ----- A gang of delinquents becomes lost in a forest, pursued by a frightening masked figure. He hunts them down individually, resembling a stalking wolf, wielding a crude knife fashioned from animal bones. As they struggle to survive, the teens also grapple with the harsh environment that challenges them. Throughout their ordeal, they discover more about one another, forming deeper connections as they begin to share their lives with one another. ----- ⚠️ WARNINGS ⚠️: - Gore, violent description of violence, - Cannibalism(not shown but alluded), - Death, - Descriptions of PTSD and trauma, - Abusive parents, mistreatment of children, - Foul, harmful language, - Nothing is real, this is a work of fiction,
