Stay Awake, Stay Alive
I’ve been awake now for 48 hours and I know I won’t be able to stay this way for much longer. Who wants to die at 31—I know I don’t, but I’ll have to sleep sometime. Maybe the end will be painless, however judging by what I’ve observed, it will be anything but. This all started innocently enough.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
Streaming services these days are ubiquitous. Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, Disney Plus, Prime Video—the list just goes on and on. It's hard to imagine a world without it, but not that long ago, none of these services existed. You don't even have to go back as far as VHS (or before) days to reach a point where streaming video just wasn't a thing.

Skin walkers of Arizona
Title: Skin walkers of Arizona In the heart of the vast Arizona desert, where the sun scorched the earth and the howling wind whispered ancient secrets, lived a sinister presence that sent shivers down the spines of those who dared to speak its name - the Skin Walkers. According to Native American legends, these malevolent beings possessed the ability to transform into animals, lurking in the shadows and preying on unsuspecting victims. But for most, the tales were mere superstition, until a group of adventurous friends stumbled upon the chilling truth that lurked within the desert sands.

The Stranger
There was a stranger in Garrett’s kitchen. It was uncanny, the way the stranger looked and acted almost exactly like Jenna, and yet Garrett knew, deep in his bones, that the woman in his kitchen was not his wife. No, not at all. This woman, smiling at him over a plate of scrambled eggs and crisped bacon, was someone else entirely, someone who terrified him in ways he couldn’t explain.

Tangled in Webs. Content Warning.
We can all relate to the single truth that no one has a say in the circumstances into which they're born. No one's given the choice of the skin they wear or the name they inherit. Yet, ironically, we're all guilty of judging one another for those things. Might that be because we all secretly judge ourselves so harshly, and the only way to cope with our imperfections is to find them in others? Or can it be that we're all so envious, jealous, and covetous of one another, but are too afraid to admit these faults? Who knows? Does it really matter? It's a riddle we'll never be able to solve.

El Coco, El Cucuy: The Child Eater
Not long ago, I wrote about how bogeyman-like legends exist almost all over the world. It's stunning to know that nearly every culture on the planet has one. In many Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries, there are tales of one of these, a mythical monster called El Coco (or El Cucuy). While some details vary from story to story, one thing seems consistent: El Coco eats children.

Forgotten Woods
It was already night when I arrived. Storm was passed but the soil still showed the unequivocal signs of its strength. The leaves still carried a slim layer of water that reflected the subtle moonlight and bestowed upon the forest an otherworldly quality. There was no wind, everything was still and quiet. I didn’t notice that at first, we’re always busy paying attention to what we can perceive that we forget about what we’re missing. The forest was clearly unnatural, but, weary and irritable as I was, I just cared to be inside the cabin so I ignored every warning that waved in front of me.

The Longest Night. Second Place in Word Hunt Challenge.
The sun was setting in Tanglewood, and the forest trails were covered in a feathery dusting of snow. The trees were thick, but naked, except for the speckled evergreens, highlighting the death that winter brings. As Edgar prepared his horse for slumber, he sat uneasy, worried about what the night would share on this sacred evening.
