Day: May 4, 2026

One night his friends wanted Miles to
join them, exploring an abandoned house

that was rumored to be a haunted house
full of scary ghosts.

Miles refused to go, superstitious, and
too scared to enter the house.

Nobody ever saw his friends after
that night.

He told the police he believed the house
his friends explored had taken them.

But the police laughed at his crazy theory,
said they searched the house

and didn’t believe his friends had
gone in it.

But he knows the house devoured his friends;
in nightmares he’s seen them screaming,

their spirits trapped in that old, haunted house.

On a Saturday night after a great date, Faith told me she loved me.

We’d only dated for a week, so it was unexpected but wonderful.

As a guy who hadn’t been with a woman for over two years, I felt Faith was like a gift from God to me.

But the next day she changed her mind, left me, and I never heard from her again.

After that, I learned to guard my heart as though it were a rare and precious treasure.

I met her on a dating app and thought
we were a good match.

When I got to know her past the first
safe meeting at a coffee house,

I learned she had three dolls that looked evil
to me,

and she introduced me to them as if they
were real.

I thought maybe the dolls were substitutes
for the children she never had.

But I found it too weird that a woman her
age had evil dolls she talked to,

and I told her I was sorry that we were
not a match.

She didn’t take it well, cursed me and said
I’d be more sorry for leaving her.

I laughed to myself at her empty threat
until that night when

I saw her evil dolls in a nightmare and
they looked like demons

that have terrorized me in nightmares
for over a month now.
