15 Rules for a New Midnight Watchman | Part 2
I guard the gate to Hell, enforce fifteen rules I don’t fully understand, and record a podcast to stay sane—but tonight, angels are lying, demons are panicking, and something far worse is trying to get through. When the Midnight Watchman’s rules start breaking one by one, the question isn’t what’s coming for the gate—it’s whether I’ll survive my shift long enough to stop it.

Airport Lockdown Horror Story
A routine layover spirals into a military lockdown when every flight is grounded and soldiers open fire on passengers trying to leave, trapping thousands inside an airport cut off from the world. Over days of hunger, fear, and brutal factions, survival becomes the only currency—and when the last survivors make a desperate run for a grounded plane, escape proves far more terrifying than staying behind.

We Found an Abandoned Oil Rig on the Dark Side of the Moon | Part 3
On the dark side of the Moon—where no signals reach Earth and no one is supposed to be listening—we discovered an oil rig standing silent against the lunar dust. Its lights were dead, its drills frozen mid-bore, and its logs hinted at a crew that vanished without explanation. As we explored deeper into the structure, it became clear the rig wasn’t abandoned because it failed… it was abandoned because something down there didn’t want to be found.
