Penguin Random House

Standalone horror stories, approximately 500 words per chapter, with each story fully independent of the others. If a character's name appears in multiple stories, it should not imply a connection between them unless explicitly noted otherwise.

Some random stories I come up with to keep my boredom away. Contains original novels and fanfics as well. They may become a novel I'll write if I like them enough or if there is a sudden rush of inspiration that takes over me. If you like one of them comment on it and I may consider writing more about it one day, I am highly sleep deprived so I guess I will someday if i do not commit suicide first.

Looking back, maybe it wasn't all that bad. Sometimes, I wonder if life would have been better for us all if Eliza and I had never discovered the truth. Maybe that's selfish. But we might have been happier-or at least, that's what I'd like to believe. Magic is a mystery, and not much is known about it even today. it flows through the world, choosing its own vessels. I wish that was all I had to tell you, but my story is darker and filled with mystery and loss. My name is Maddox, and I should have never left the orphanage."

What remains when gods die? Memory or Madness? Some things take aeons to come together. Some curses cannot be broken. Some people cannot avoid their fate. In a world where magic is a gift many fear and few possess, no one remembers why they used to fear the night. Myra Tamon is a detective in the Borderline Division, specializing in cases that cannot be explained through rational means. Her disdain for magic is tested when a decade-old case brings her face-to-face with the most powerful of all the gifted. What starts as a mystery, becomes a ruthless fight for survival because secrets do not live forever and monsters do exist.

Some changes might occur but overall most of the plot will be the same. It's just me removing and adding some stuff to the story in order to make it better.

Maybe you've heard a creaking floorboard in the dead of night, or caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of your eye. These are the whispers, the echoes of the past, stories waiting to be told. The House That Whispers is a story about those whispers, about the secrets hidden in plain sight, and the extraordinary bonds that can form in the most unlikely places. It's a story for those who dare to believe in the unseen, who are brave enough to face their fears and embrace the unknown. This book is a journey of discovery, a exploration of the power of empathy and forgiveness, and the enduring magic of human connection. It's a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope, and that even the most unexpected friendships can leave an indelible mark on our hearts. So, settle in, turn the pages, and listen closely to the whispers. You never know what secrets they might hold, or what extraordinary journey they might lead you on.
