《Short Ghost Stories》44) The House 'Gatekeeper'
Advertisement
Location : Bukit Panjang, Singapore
Sender : Mr Yan
The most frightening experience my family and i ever encountered happened inside my rented flat in Bukit Panjang, Singapore. We had rented this apartment because our new house was still under construction and will only be ready the following year.
The first 3 weeks things were as per normal until my wife told me that she's been seeing things inside the house when she came home late from work. During that time, my kids and i were fast asleep. The house was in full darkness and she saw a very huge black figure sitting at the dining table in the kitchen! At first she thought it was me but when she turned on the lights, it vanished!
My children had experienced the same thing too. One night, i found them crying inside their bedroom. They complained that they saw the same thing; a huge black figure multiple times around the house. As for myself, i haven't experienced anything until one night..
I was doing my work in the living room while my wife and children were fast asleep. Suddenly i heard my wife called out my name a few times. I went into the room only to find her crying on the bed. I saw that our comforter was already on the floor. I asked her what happened.
"I called you a few times. After a few minutes, i felt someone pulling the comforter away from me. I thought it was you. The next thing i know was, i felt a very harsh scratch on my left leg.." she pointed out at her left leg.
True enough, there were scratches in bright red on my wife's leg. I was shocked and speechless! I wasn't satisfied with what happened and i knew that somehow my family is in danger if we don't find someone whose good at this to see what's actually going in the house.

Immediately the following day, we brought someone over to our place. He was a religious teacher recommended by friends. We let our children sleepover at my sister's house for their safety. Just imagine, the religious teacher went into my bedroom and locked himself in. We could hear from outside how he read the prayers and then after 2 long hours inside, he finally came out but there were so many scratches all over his body! If my wife haven't gone through the same experience, i probably won't believe it!
"I'm sorry but this isn't my fight. This Gatekeeper have been here for too long. It's too strong for me. Please find someone else." he gave up.
I started doing research on how to keep the demons and ghosts away from my houses and found out that most of the sources suggested us to pray daily and read the holy book as well. These 2 are the main key in keeping away unwanted things from entering the house. Till today, this Gatekeeper is still inside my house and we're trying our best to get rid of it.
Thanks.

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.

Essence of the Dragon
Saelina has had no say in her life, thus far. She's spent the last decade barely eking out a living, on the outskirts of Mahlein, courtesy of her former fiancée and his father, who've pushed her further and further towards starvation. She has done things most people would find beneath them and still she stands. Things change when she finds a wounded sorceress in the woods and decides to help the woman in the hopes of a hefty reward. Ezeas is a Nyxan scout, sent out to retrieve an important weapon, believed to be in the possession of a crafty sorceress. His country is on the brink of war and needs the help of the dragons, only given to those who posses a bit of the mystical beasts' essence .~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "If you did not have to limit yourself to...anything. What would you wish for? What is your truest desire, Saelina?" "Power." The answer came without deliberation or pause. "The power to never starve, to stand on my own, without someone holding me up. To reject whomever I want, whenever I want." Tahlisa's gaze became more intent and she moved close to her rescuer. "Say you had that power, right here, right now. What would you do?" Saelina smiled cruelly. It was a wholly new expression, yet it somehow made her features terrifyingly beautiful, Tahlisa realized. "I'd burn down the Tower and force the Harrows to watch as their home, their legacy turns to ash."
