“Stories don’t always cost blood… sometimes they’re free.”
Welcome, wanderer. These are fragments from the shadows—tales, excerpts, and whispers I’ve pulled from my darker worlds.
They’re FREE for you to devour… but be warned: once you step in, there’s no turning back.
Beautiful Damnation
Some dances you don’t walk away from.
Aiko never meant to step inside. Still grieving the loss of her husband, she’s drawn to a dance studio she doesn’t remember being there. One that feels abandoned… yet alive. Inside, the music is timeless, the dancers are flawless, and one man stands above them all.
Lucien.
Under his guidance, Aiko begins to learn the waltz, but what starts as a distraction from her sorrow quickly becomes something deeper and all to consuming. The more she dances, the more the studio reveals its secrets. Mirrors that move before she does. Footsteps that linger. A presence that watches… and remembers.
As desire and obsession intertwine, Aiko must decide how far she’s willing to go to feel whole again. Because some invitations aren’t meant to be refused. And some dances… are never meant to end.

Case Files — Pale City
Case 001: The Girl in the Mirror
Pale City Case Files is an ongoing, episodic series of fictional true-crime investigations set in a decaying metropolis where some crimes refuse to obey reality. Each case follows hardened detective Adrian Vale and his partner as they unravel murders inspired by the structure and tone of real-world true crime — locked rooms, missing evidence, contradictory witness accounts but with a subtle, unsettling horror edge that suggests the city itself may be complicit.
Each case stands alone, but together they form a larger portrait of a city that doesn’t just breed crime — it feeds on it.

In the hidden village of Eden’s Brook, peace reigned for generations—until a young woman returned from the woods carrying something ancient and cruel. Her name was Mary Worthington... but the world would come to know her as Bloody Mary.

As prophecy coils around the living and the dead,
only one truth remains:
The monsters of Eden’s Brook have learned to walk.
