The Last Broadcast

In the remote, fog-shrouded town of Millhaven, superstition holds sway, and silence is salvation. Embarrassed radio DJ Jack Mercer is back in his hometown in one final attempt at salvaging his career, going live on a Halloween broadcast to reveal the town's darkest tale: the Revenant, a ghost said to take one soul every decade. But Millhaven's inhabitants—tightly lipped and haunted by centuries of guilt—won't talk about the curse, forcing Jack to rummage through decaying archives and deserted buildings for clues. When he discovers a decades-old diary of Evelyn Carter, a woman who disappeared while searching for the Revenant, Jack learns a chilling truth: the villagers' forebears summoned the creature, sacrificing lives for temporary peace. Jack knows the Revenant is no legend as his broadcast plans come apart—equipment breaking down, figures haunting the abandoned town hall. It's alive. And it's hungry. Halloween night, Jack's live broadcast, and the town's suppressed transgressions boil over. The listeners are overwhelmed by shrieked voices through static images of their worst regrets. Cornered in the hall with the Revenant's claws around his throat, Jack is presented with a terrible decision: die to shatter the cycle or escape, dooming Millhaven to perpetual suffering. But the Revenant has an endless hunger, and Jack's broadcast—a twisted, repeating scream—could have released the curse into the world. A terrifying investigation of guilt, complicity, and the price of truth, The Last Broadcast poses the question: What if the things we bury never die? And what if the horror we dread most is the horror we've already become?

The Last Offering

The Last Offering By Zanbaq Alma "There is no greater sacrifice than the one made in love. But love alone cannot stop the abyss from hungering." For centuries, the city of Ashkar has upheld a chilling tradition the centennial offering. Every hundred years, one life is chosen to descend into the abyss, a sacrifice meant to appease the ancient darkness lurking below. When seventeen-year-old Seraphine’s beloved younger brother is selected, she refuses to accept his fate. Driven by love and defiance, she takes his place, willingly stepping into the unknown. But the abyss is not what the council claimed it to be. Beneath the city lies a cursed labyrinth where past offerings linger some as whispers in the dark, others as monstrous creatures barely clinging to humanity. At the heart of it all is the Ancient One, a being that was once human, now corrupted by centuries of sacrifice and greed. As Seraphine navigates the abyss’s horrors, she uncovers long-buried secrets: the truth behind the ritual, the city’s bloodstained past, and a prophecy that ties her fate to the darkness itself. With the help of Aric, a scarred survivor of the last offering, and Kael, a rogue cultist seeking redemption, she must challenge the cycle of sacrifice before she, too, is consumed. But the abyss changes those who enter it. And as the darkness seeps into her soul, Seraphine must decide will she destroy the abyss, or become its last and greatest offering? A dark fantasy tale of sacrifice, corruption, and the fine line between monster and savior.

The Loves of Three Men

Cao Yucheng had two children, who were the apples of his eye. Although his eldest son, Cao Xiaorui, was not his biological child but was brought into his family by his wife when she remarried. Back then, Cao Yucheng's mother vehemently opposed his wife's entry into the family. His wife was nine years older than him and was a divorced woman with a child. No mother - in - law would be fond of such a daughter - in - law. Cao Yucheng himself was tall, promising, and young. He could have found any decent woman. Why did he have to choose a "second - hand" woman with a child in tow? However, Cao Yucheng disregarded his mother's objections, secretly got married to his wife, and began a life for the three - member family. For Cao Yucheng, who became a step - father right after entering society, he not only didn't feel ashamed of this but also didn't think that a six - or seven - year - old child would bring much extra pressure to his life. Instead, he was extremely grateful to his wife for giving him such a well - behaved, sensible, and obedient son. When Cao Xiaorui first came to his home, he was already much more sensible than ordinary children. When his parents were not at home, he would do all the housework he could. Mopping the floor, cleaning the table, washing vegetables, and folding clothes were all within his capabilities. His academic performance was also the best in the class. All these brought great honor to Cao Yucheng. Many biological fathers might not have a son that everyone envied, while he, as a step - father, had all the glory and less of the endless worries that a biological father would have. Cao Yucheng was quite satisfied with his life at that time. After getting married, his wife gave birth to a biological son for him. The whole family of Cao Yucheng was immersed in extreme joy, believing that there was nothing happier in life than this. He used his happy life to prove to all those who had opposed his marriage how correct his choice was. Unfortunately, people can't always be successful and happy throughout their lives. Just after his younger son, Cao Xiaoqi, celebrated his tenth birthday, his wife encountered a mudslide during a group outing organized by her unit. Only four people survived in the full - loaded vehicle. This incident was very sensational at that time, and major newspapers and media competed to report it. Cao Yucheng's wife's name could be easily found on the list of victims by those who paid attention.
