Stream of Consciousness

The Haunted Mirror. Content Warning.
Emily had just moved into her new home. She was excited to start a new life, but something seemed off about the house. In the quiet solitude of Emily's new home, an unsettling discovery awaited her. She couldn't put her finger on it until she noticed an old, dusty mirror in the corner of the bedroom. It was antique and the silver coating was fading, but it was beautiful, nonetheless. Emily hung it on the wall and thought nothing more of it, until one night when she looked into it and saw a reflection that wasn't her own. As she gazed into the full-length mirror in her dimly lit bedroom, a shiver ran down her spine. The reflection that stared back at her was not her own.

The teacher, in his brilliance, had drawn the map sideways, with the compass to North pointing lazilily off to the right. Indeed, the teacher had gone the extra mile to turn the N into a Z, to match the orientation.

Whispers of Moonlight
In the heart of a forgotten town, where the cobblestone streets whispered tales of bygone days and the stars painted the sky with their ethereal glow, there lived a vampire boy named Ji-Hoon Moonshadow. His existence was a solitary one, haunted by the shadows of his past and the insatiable hunger that gnawed at his very essence.
