Stories from the Dark Side 2

Stories from the Dark Side Two
Colin returns, and the shadows have never felt so close
The road stretched smooth and quiet ahead across the common. No sound, no movement… yet as you passed, didn’t your steps slow of their own accord?
Didn’t the air feel heavier, as if something or someone stood just beyond the treeline — watching, waiting, holding its breath until you were gone?
They speak in hushed tones of the House of Dreams: the place where every dream comes true, where every desire is answered. But who tells you what it takes to make those dreams real? What bargains are struck in the dark? What will you sacrifice — and what part of you will remain there, trapped forever, when you leave or if you leave?
Turn the page. Step deeper into the dark.
Here are my stories that do not end when the last word is read. Each one carries a question, a chill, a truth you may not be ready to face. Once you have read them, you will never look at a quiet road, or a lighted window, or the shadows at the edge of your room — in quite the same way again.
Some dreams were never meant to be granted.
Some stories… were never meant to be told.
