  • The Night Shift
    Nov 14 2024

    When Sarah, a seasoned night-shift nurse, begins her shift, she expects the usual quiet hum of a hospital ward after hours. But when an enigmatic patient, Mr. Harrison, is wheeled into Room 412, her instincts sense something deeply unsettling. Strange symptoms, inexplicable malfunctions, and eerie transformations begin to unfold, challenging her sense of reality. Is it exhaustion, a medical anomaly, or something beyond the limits of human understanding? As the hours stretch toward dawn, Sarah finds herself entangled in a mystery that blurs the line between humanity and something far more terrifying. Will she survive the night – or will she join the shadows that haunt Room 412?

  • The Silence Beneath
    Nov 11 2024

    Rhea moves into her mother’s old house and begins to experience a strange, ominous hum. The hum grows stronger, accompanied by footsteps, whispers, and the disappearance of her cat, Nox. When Rhea tries to reach out for help, the phone cuts out, and the haunting events intensify as shadowy figures seem to reach for her. Fleeing the house only brings a temporary reprieve, as the silence appears to be alive, following her even in her dreams. Despite her efforts to escape, she becomes entangled with the house’s supernatural presence, eventually becoming absorbed into its dark silence, leaving behind an empty, quiet home that still hums at night for the next person to hear.
