“The Mirror That Remembers Every Face But Yours” “The Mirror That Remembers Every Face But Yours”
The Mirror That Remembers Every Face But Yours By [Ali Rehman] The mirror had been in the house longer than anyone could remember.

Some said it was an heirloom; others whispered it was cursed.

The House That Waited
When the old Rehman House finally went up for sale, nobody in the village expected anyone to buy it. The place had been abandoned for decades, its windows sealed with wooden planks, its garden swallowed by wild thorns and crooked trees. Children dared each other to run up and touch the rusted gate, but no one ever stayed near it after sunset. People said it wasn’t just haunted—it was patient. It waited.

Black Tape.. AI-Generated.
When I moved into the apartment, I thought it was a fresh start. Fresh paint, new floors, a little balcony that caught the afternoon sun just right. I unpacked my boxes slowly, half listening to music, half just enjoying the silence that wasn’t mine yet. That night, I couldn’t sleep. The mattress was stiff, the air felt different. I kept telling myself it was just new place nerves, but when I turned over and saw the faint outline of the window blinds on the ceiling, I felt eyes on me, though I was alone.

The Whispers in the Walls: A Haunting Mystery
Story: Rachel knew she was making a mistake, but the old manor was all she could afford. After months of searching for a quiet place to focus on her writing, she found herself standing in front of the eerie, crumbling house on the outskirts of town. The locals spoke in hushed tones whenever it was mentioned, often crossing themselves, muttering about the past—the mysterious disappearance of the Blackwell family years ago, and the strange whispers that some claimed still haunted the house. But to Rachel, who had always prided herself on her logical mind, such tales were nothing but folklore. She was here for peace, not for ghost stories.

The Devil You Made: How We Create Evil Leaders
Throughout history, we’ve learned about persons who were utterly evil and in my mind I’ve always wondered how they came to be this way and how they justified their actions, at least in their minds. Of course their actions weren’t justifiable, but they had to make sense of it somehow in their own lives.

The Last Smile You’ll Ever See
They said it started as a harmless trend—another stupid social media challenge that teenagers picked up out of boredom and influencers exploited for likes. It was called The Last Smile Challenge. The rules were simple: record a five-second video of yourself smiling, tag three friends, and end the video with the words, “This is my last smile.”
