《Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark》The Girl in the Photo
Advertisement
One school day, a girl named Geena was sitting in her iPrep class and doing math. It was six more minutes until school let out. As she was doing her homework, something caught her eye.
Her desk was next to the window, and she turned and looked to the grass outside. It looked like a picture. When school was over, she ran to the spot where she saw it. She ran fast so that no one else could grab it.
She picked it up and smiled. It had a picture of the most beautiful girl she had ever seen. She had a dress with tights on and red shoes, and her hand was formed into a peace sign.
She was so beautiful she wanted to meet her, so she ran all over the school and asked everyone if they knew her or have ever seen her before. But everyone she asked said "No." She was devastated.
When she was home, she asked her older sister if she knew the girl, but unfortunately she also said "No." It was very late, so Geena walked up the stairs, placed the picture on her bedside table and went to sleep.
In the middle of the night Geena was awakened by a tap on her window. It was like a nail tapping. She got scared. After the tapping she heard a giggle. She saw a shadow near her window, so she got out of her bed, walked toward her window, opened it up and followed the giggling. By the time she reached it, it was gone.
The next day again she asked her neighbors if they knew her. Everybody said, "Sorry, no." When her mother came home she even asked her if she knew her. She said "No." She went to her room, placed the picture on her desk and fell asleep.

Once again she was awakened by a tapping. She took the picture and followed the giggling. She walked across the road, when she was suddenly hit by a car. She died instantly, picture in hand.
The driver got out of the car and tried to help her, but it was too late. He saw the picture and a huge grin crossed his face. He picked it up. It was beautiful.
He saw a cute girl holding up three fingers......

The Lucky Secret
Five years ago, the Tower appeared in the Arctic circle, and people started to disappear. Not that any of this affected Cillian James, who was too busy keeping the lights on with webnovels he didn't want to write to really concern himself with some omniscient tower kidnapping people at random.That is, until Cillian is kidnapped himself, and now he has some very big problems on his hands. Namely, surviving the Tower and its homicidal salamanders and zombies and weirdly affectionate cats, and learning the truth behind the existence of the amulet titled "The Writer's Secret". Cilian isn't particularly athletic, given he spent six years glued to a computer chair, and the Tower can only give him so much strength before he's considered a lost cause, and he's not prepared in the slightest for this. He's a bit weak, he hates killing, and spends more time screaming than he does actually fighting, but if there's one thing he's got going for him, it's his impressive self-perseveration skills. But is surviving truly enough, if it changes you into someone you don't recognize? How much will he have to sacrifice before he can even call himself Cillian?
