  6. Personally, I think taking away a stretch of land from a noble's estate and adding it to the land of the community should not be considered "theft" but an act of class justice.

    The Hour of 3:17

    Meher had only recently finished his studies and joined his first job. He never liked the chaos and noise of the city, so he rented a small apartment in a quiet colony just outside town, close to his office. Few people lived there. At night, the streets emptied quickly, leaving behind only the distant howls of stray dogs and the occasional whisper of the wind. It was the kind of silence he found comforting. For the first few days, everything went smoothly. Office in the morning, home in the […]

  8. Strange lights can sometimes be spotted in the German countryside at night.

    Some of them are friendly, and some of them are... not.

  10. It is easy to be virtuous if you are rich.

    But for others, poverty can even deny a peaceful stay in the afterlife.

  12. Exorcists have a bad habit of dumping malevolent spirits at the nearest convenient hill, swamp, or forest - without considering that other people might want to use those places, too.

  14. Book Review: Turn of the Screw by Henry James


    Author: Henry James
    Title: Turn of the Screw
    Narrator: Vanessa Benjamin
    Publication Info: Blackstone Publishing, 2008 [Originally published in 1898]
    Summary/Review:

    Henry James’ work of Gothic fiction is a ghost story that works on many levels.  The novella is presented as an account by a governess charged with caring for the orphan children, Flora and Miles.  With an immediate fondness toward the children, the governess grows concerned about the mysterious presence of a man and a woman affecting the children’s behavior.  She ultimately comes to believe that they are the ghosts of the previous governess Miss Jessel and valet Peter Quint, both of whom had been close to the children.  The governess’ attempts to protect the children lead to tragic twists.  It’s a story that features a strong sense of eeriness but also metaphorical without being heavy handed.

  15. Creative Writing: Of Golden Light and Dappled Grays

    I went for a walk today under golden light and dappled grays. Everyone said it would be a beautiful day, and I could feel that. The sky was cloudless, and the grove of trees around the neighborhood diffused the sunlight. It is the one thing I loved the most about the neighborhood I lived in. Always calm and muted. Even with the tranquility, we had lots of visitors. Visitors who always seemed sad, like they were missing someone. The neighborhood was odd. These visitors would show up at the […]

  16. Creative Writing: … and Stormy Night

    “If only they would tell the truth,” the lost girl mused. Katie watched as the teens in the group wandered into the woods. “If these children knew my story, they would never come out here.” Only a few would be returning, and they wouldn’t be returning whole. She knew this from the moment she issued the challenge over a hundred years ago. She was killed right here, in the woods, at the very spot where she used to tell the story and where the challenge always began. This firepit […]

  17. Creative Writing: The Darkened…

    The night, dark and stormy as always, felt cliché. And the first person who could find the totem left behind would be the winner of this strange game. They decided to play a game based on the stories they told as kids as a joke. The ones that made you think twice before sleeping in the dark of your bedroom. The spooky stories that were certain to give you a slight fright. But this little game was not based on any old story. It had its origins in an actual event that occurred nearby, in the […]

  18. 🎉 #CNN claims to have unearthed the DNC's 2024 "autopsy," but it reads more like a self-congratulatory ghost story that even Casper would boo at. Meanwhile, viewers are left pondering the real mystery: is the buffering wheel part of the plot twist? 😂🔄

  19. Will loved spending his evenings down by the #docks with her, the views were lovely, watching the planes land was cool, they could talk for hours about anything and nothing. So hard to find that nowadays.

    She was a #ghost - died 20 years ago. But he didn't care.
