The Seat That Was Already Reserved. AI-Generated.
The bus station closed after midnight. Not officially — the lights stayed on, the ticket window remained open — but the world itself seemed to abandon it. Conversations became whispers, footsteps softer, and even engines sounded distant, like memories rather than machines.

The Calls From My Old Number. AI-Generated.
The relief of getting a new phone number was immediate. For months, Hamza had been receiving strange late-night calls. No voice. No breathing. Just silence — heavy, patient silence that felt less like a prank and more like someone listening carefully.

The Shadow That Binds: Uncovering the Dark Folk Customs of Hidden Japan
1. The Concept of "Kegare": The Root of Japanese Fear To understand the strange customs of rural Japan, one must first understand "Kegare" (穢れ)—a term often translated as "pollution" or "defilement."

Salt and Sea
“Mom, how did you and Dad choose my name?” “I was wondering if you would ever ask that question, sweetie. Since your dad is a commercial fisherman and I like all things connected to the ocean, we thought we should give you a name connected to the sea. We couldn’t name you Neptune because you’re a girl, and if we named you Huixtocihuatl after the Aztec goddess of sea and salt, you’d spend the rest of your life teaching people how to pronounce your name. That’s why your dad and I settled on Maris, meaning of the sea in Latin. It’s short, easy to pronounce and spell, and pays tribute to the thing we feel a strong connection to. Maybe you’ll feel that bond someday.”

The Neighbor Who Returned Every Morning. AI-Generated.
The receptionist hesitated before handing Arman the key. Not long. Just a second too long. It was past midnight, and the rain outside had flooded half the highway, forcing him to stop at the only roadside hotel still open. The lobby smelled faintly of detergent and old carpet — clean enough to trust, but empty enough to feel watched.
