The Shaper
“This is wrong and I’m gonna destroy it.” That was what I should have said when Stella and I found The Shaper’s notebook. It was no bigger than a card you would receive on Christmas. The leather was so soft I thought it was velvet when I swiped it. It could get lost in any bookshelf.

Haunted Transylvania
Transylvania has become a well-known name and everyone knew it was in Romania. This was due to the story of Dracula, to the stories of the actual so-called Dracula Vlad the Impaler and of course, due to all the Hollywood movies about the blood-sucking demon. However, if you think you'll visit Romania and travel to Transylvania to come face to face with the actual Dracula you might be disappointed. Instead, try roaming about Translyvania and you could meet up with plenty of ghostly apparitions and you might even get scared to death.

"Oh, my burning feet of fire."
Be aware of the possibility of a large flesh-eating giant when venturing into the woods of the Mid-West and North East. This terrifying figure is a member of Native American folklore, specifically Algonquin-speaking tribes. There are many different descriptions associated with this gruesome monster, but most agree that is a large (15ft tall) malevolent organism that feeds on human flesh.

Cookie's Diner
Escaping the chaos of midday interstate traffic, Maggie left the freeway at the next opportunity, coincidentally leading to a small town she had seen the name of many times in her travels through but never visited, though she had often been curious. A brief grumble from her stomach insistently reminded her she was late for her own lunch, so she began scoping the signs sparsely placed along the edge of the road, obviously for the sake of hungry tourists passing through. The first place she spotted was a small diner, not much larger than a convenience store, its sign almost missable, with its red letters sun-faded to near invisibility on the peeling white background.

Boreas
Telling lies had never really been a talent of hers, despite what everyone said. And despite their best attempts- the word ‘best’ being used here sparingly- the people of Medenbrooke’s mutterings were not quite as private as they thought they were.

Damned at Sea
Mr. Larry Wilson stood on deck staring out at the dark sea. The moonlight reflected itself across the surface of the vast body of water shimmering like sprinkles of gold glitter dust. Empty. Straight ahead lays emptiness, the single thought registered in Wilson’s mind.

Fertilizer
Axel Kerodon spent the majority of his retirement in his relaxed nook, the front porch, watching dogs chase passing cars and neighbors stroll by while he packed and lit his pipe and rocked back and forth on the oak rocking chair he hand-crafted. Everyday was just about the same, he would leave only for three things: to use the restroom, to water the lawn by hand, or to do a chore for a dark noon hen.

Be Nice to Your Neighbors
As I climb up to the attic I cannot stop sneezing. This place is filled with dust. Maybe even mice or rats too. I would have preferred the place to be pre-cleaned, but that's what you get when you buy a house that’s super cheap and was made an eternity ago. I cringe at the cardboard boxes that are waiting to be cleared away, but I have to clean everything and paint the walls before I unpack. I would prefer not to have ancient wallpaper in colors like brown and beige.

Testing Predictions on an Abandoned Village
Haley Riot pulled on the purple musical note attached to the retractable band around her neck. The networker designed to look like two beamed eighth notes brought life a three-dimensional map of their position in the woods. Beside the map were a few postings and news clippings about the Babylon Sisters Village. Some of the posts talked of treasure, murder, and ghosts but offered no evidence other than stories of people going missing who explored the area.
