Screams and Memories

In both the quiet suburbs of Fright Night and the crumbling ruins where the Threxil hunts me, one truth remains — monsters never stop once they’ve chosen their prey. --- Nightly Storyteller Chronicles: Part 1 – The Ambush The Threxil’s footsteps were earthquakes, each one shaking the breath from my lungs. Seraphine and I had its attention now—every ounce of its murderous focus locked on us. Good. That was the plan. The Clatchi needed time. You’re going to regret this plan. “Not if we keep moving,” I muttered, ducking under a swipe that could’ve taken my head clean off. You think you’re faster than it? You’re not. It’s playing with you. A chunk of stone exploded beside me as its fist smashed into the wall. I stumbled, forcing my legs to push harder. Seraphine’s spells lit up the darkness—flashes of silver and blue that made the creature flinch, if only for a heartbeat. It’s learning your patterns. “Then I’ll change them.” I slid between two broken pillars, the Threxil’s mass...

🎵 Song of the Day: “Love Will Tear Us Apart” – Joy Division (Press play. Let the static crawl down your spine.) --- “Do you want to be whole again?” she asked. Her voice — sweet like honey… left out too long. She reached out, and for a second, I saw stars. Not in the sky — in my veins. I should’ve run. But instead...

Gone — or maybe multiplied. I drifted through identical hallways, doors pulsing like heartbeats. Each knob scorched my palm with cold fire. My reflection in every window got worse — arms too long, eyes too wide, or missing entirely. One mouth twitched on its own. Then I woke up. --- 📍 Location Unknown. Time: Unclear. The air stank — boiled eggs and something coppery. A buzzing fly circled a half-eaten plate of raw meat like it knew something I didn’t. Across from it: a second plate of cold ...
