a spine-tingling journey into the heart of horror as we unearth the enigmatic legend of the Enfield Monster. Join the McDaniel family as they confront the unexplained and plunge headfirst into a nightmare that shook Enfield, Illinois, and captured the nation's fascination.... more>>

In the dead of night, the McDaniel children's innocent claims of a lurking, otherworldly creature sent shivers down their father Henry McDaniel's spine. But when strange scratching sounds pierced the night, and a three-legged, pink-eyed entity emerged from the shadows, their world spiraled into a realm of terror beyond imagination.

The hair-raising encounter triggered a series of eerie events: unexplained footprints, attacks on livestock, and bizarre sightings by townsfolk. This chilling chronicle of the unknown soon transcended local whispers to become a national sensation, with newspapers, radio stations, and television networks delving into the sinister tale.

Despite skepticism, the McDaniel family clung to their harrowing account, believing they had encountered something beyond this world. As the weeks turned into months, the creature's malevolent presence persisted, fueling the relentless quest for answers.

A team of zoologists offered a rational explanation, attributing the sightings to misidentified animals. Yet, the locals stood their ground, insisting that no earthly creature could leap 80 feet in three bounds or possess those eerie, glowing eyes.

The relentless onslaught of sightings drove local authorities to seek help from the Illinois State Police and the Department of Natural Resources. But the mysterious entity remained elusive, leaving behind a trail of bafflement and dread.

Years passed, and the Enfield Monster evolved into a cornerstone of local folklore—an enigma never definitively solved or disproven. Was it a collective hallucination, an elaborate hoax, or a genuine brush with the supernatural? The enigmatic tale endures, a testament to the enigmatic mysteries lurking in the shadows.

In this gripping exploration, we delve deep into the heart of darkness and the resilience of belief. Join us on a quest for answers, as we navigate the blurred line between reality and the macabre. Dare you venture into the shadows in the scary night and face the unknown? <<less

Standing on the stage and loved and worshipped by thousands, Julia felt cold and alone. She was basked in light while the rest of the world was veiled in the dark. In her eyes, there was no mirth. In her heart, there was nothing but emptiness. Looking back, all her sacrifices, blood and tears paved her way to where she was now. But in the end, was it worth it?

In a warm, sunny room, Erik stood in front of his students. With a warm smile and gentle voice, he read verses through verses of poetry with passion. He leafed through the pages gently like a man caressing his lover. His voice drifted into the gentle afternoon, making young girls' cheeks blush. He was oblivious of his effect on their young hearts for all he cared for was literature. His world basked in the soft, afternoon light, was simply perfect.

Two people in two different worlds... If one day their paths crossed, would sparks fly? <<less

He is one of the evilest existence in the entire heaven World. Such that even heaven does not tolerate his existence. But what heaven can do he is Strong.

Whereas those people who were ant in front of him now have become strong. Some of them have ascended to a higher place.

My name is Kobayashi Miya, a freshman at 'Haru High School'.... more>>

I am what people refer to as an untouchable existence. A girl that is just for them to admire and judge as they see fit. A mannequin that can be manipulated by their overbearing expectations and desires.

Even those around me see me as someone of exalted status, someone superior to them, someone they should look up to and admire for what they think I am... A perfect woman who excels in everything. 

However, all of them are completely wrong, I am just a normal girl... Scared, timid, naive, and above all else, hopelessly in love...

 

My name is Kawashima Takumi, a freshman at 'Haru High School'.

Or, is that just how I want people to perceive me as I peacefully wash away my quiet high-school days? 

Nobody would care enough to find out if not for her entering my life. <<less
