The Unlikely Encounter

In the heart of the dense forest, under the shadow of the full moon, a lone wolf prowled, its senses heightened by the scent of blood lingering in the air. Meanwhile, deep within the ancient castle nestled on the edge of the woods, a vampire stirred from his slumber, drawn by the primal call of the hunt.

Little did they know, fate had woven their paths together, destined for a clash that would shake the foundations of their supernatural worlds.

As the wolf ventured deeper into the forest, its keen instincts warned of an impending danger. It paused, ears perked, as a dark figure emerged from the mist, revealing the silhouette of the vampire, his eyes glinting with hunger and malice.

Their eyes locked in a primal standoff, the tension thickening with each passing moment. Neither willing to back down, they prepared for the inevitable clash, unaware of the greater forces at play and the secrets hidden within their own pasts.

And so, with a fierce growl and a menacing hiss, the kurt and the vampire charged towards each other, marking the beginning of an epic battle that would test their strength, their resolve, and ultimately, their very existence.

In a world where divine power fragments have fallen to Earth, a charismatic leader named Akuji emerges, claiming a mandate from God to reshape humanity. Imbued with a fraction of God's power, Akuji possesses incredible abilities – bending space and time, even limited healing. He ushers in an era of seeming utopia, but beneath the surface lurks a sinister truth. Akuji's God complex grows, and his benevolent facade crumbles as he seeks to enforce his vision of a "perfect" world through control and manipulation. Will Liam and Rishang be able to stop Akuji?

“In tons loaded with fear and disbelief, anger and fury, fruit of one's own fault, torn arms bearing the weight of all the struggle, broken spine, mutilated fingers, denied by God, forgotten by the heavens, remembered by the hated, in the presence of own omnipotence, I deny its presence and cry out for its non-existence, that is my belief” -Louf

The Faith Providence Highschool Ghost Hunters Club is tightening its belts for an expedition into the Pool Park Asylum. This building fell into disuse after serving as a treatment facility for individuals with mental health issues. The reasons behind its collapse are complex and varied, despite the apparent sparing of no expense in its construction. However, a myriad of scandals has imbued the building's history with an absurd and terrifying value, leading to its failure in the market and eventual abandonment.

Rumors abound of horrifying occurrences such as poltergeist activity, shadowy apparitions, whispers, and the screams of a woman. It is said, like a comet returning once in a century, there was once a patient whose outer beauty was inversely proportional to her tormented psyche. Ostracized from her family for bringing shame and deemed to have no future, she became prey to the predatory behavior masked as medical treatment, sealing her fate in darkness and despair.

Anyone daring to step foot in this place is assured a fatal outcome.

This is an entry to a contest I took part in. My prompt was "exactly 2000 words, thriller where two journalists are being chased in a subway by an assassin, no romance involved"

Three friends went on a vacation while working on a painting assignment from their college art program in Scotland. As a student, Ren had to minimize expenses as much as possible. Therefore, through a pamphlet found online, Ren was lucky to find a recommendation for a beautiful vacation spot.

The asphalt road beside which there was a Villa. Located on the Perthshire highlands and close to the natural landscape of Tay Forest Park. With fauna that enlivens the quiet park such as deer.

Or if you look to the right, the ground slopes down, offering a stunning view of Loch Tay Lake. The breeze is gentle, and the fish are fresh and large.

The three friends had been worried before. This was because before Ren found the villa's location on the pamphlet, they had already visited 3 accommodations and declined to stay because they were expensive, wandering for three hours just looking at the forest stretches beside them.

However, their worries were alleviated after they found the Villa, owned by Lady De Polcester.

Yet...

It was during their stay at Lady De Polcester's Villa that their sense of worry began to grow again.

The playground evokes memories when the Ferris Wheel took them to their annual rendezvous. The four individuals met for the first time in the opening of a beautiful story in the next chapter. Although no one knew what would happen, the tale they unfolded made them yearn to return to that time. Passing through friendship to love.

Unconsciously, sometimes life's metaphors do not always revolve around beauty; even a child knows that the merry-go-round turns its axis, placing the gondola in an unstable position.

Similarly, that's how the story chapter concluded. That's usually how cases are formed. Passing through friendship to love as well.

It was 2039 when the war began… and ended the world.

The mentions of blue skies, a field of green grass and rich fresh air, it seemed like a fairytale told by the elderly that had supposedly once lived in such conditions.

But whether it was the truth or not, it mattered very little when all that remained were clouds of dark that never became white, rivers that looked sickly and were in a deep shade of green, and the lands appeared to be dead and scorched.

Fortunately, there were still ways to earn ‘money’ to make a living.

That’s as far as my concerns go.
