The World Behind the Walls
Send us Fan Mail Nathan is sitting at his desk, staring through another painfully ordinary afternoon, when he notices a tiny point of light glowing in the wall beside him. Within moments, the familiar world begins to disappear. Nathan is drawn into an impossible realm of abstract forms, folding architecture, suspended memories, glowing structures and vast spaces filled with faces and crystalline fragments of experience. Nothing behaves according to the rules he understands, and the deeper he travels, the harder it becomes to tell whether he is witnessing another dimension, the structure of memory itself, or something that exists behind ordinary reality. Then, just as suddenly, Nathan is back at his desk. Almost no time has passed. But what he has seen is impossible to forget. An original surreal science-fiction story exploring consciousness, memory, perception and the unsettling possibility that reality may be much larger than it appears.

The Face Outside My Cockpit Window

As the truth unfolds, the pilot discovers that the entity may be connected to a long-forgotten crash and a disaster that never happened.

The Clearing Wasn’t Empty | A Slow-Burn Wilderness Horror Story
Send us Fan Mail Aaron sets out on a solitary hunting trip into the mountains, expecting silence, routine, and solitude. Instead, he begins to notice small disturbances — ash on a rock, footprints in soft ground, a carved symbol on a tree. Nothing dramatic. Nothing obvious. Just enough to feel wrong. As the day stretches on, the sense of being followed intensifies. The forest grows quieter. A distant figure appears across a clearing. And when Aaron finally returns to his truck, he finds something waiting for him — a message that suggests this was never coincidence. This episode is a slow-building psychological wilderness horror about surveillance, memory, and the unsettling idea that some moments are not accidents… but appointments.

The Camera That Never Blinked | A Liminal Horror Story
Send us Fan Mail Daniel Mercer works alone on the night shift, watching security feeds in an empty building that never changes. One camera never goes offline. Not during maintenance.

Then it begins to watch him back. “The Camera That Never Blinked” is a liminal, cosmic horror story about perspective, isolation, and the quiet terror of being seen by something that does not need eyes. A slow descent into stillness. Listen in the dark. Thank you for listening to Chain of Being.

Hexed and Hunted: Silent Consequences
Send us Fan Mail When my son began to change, I told myself it was nothing. Children go through phases, after all.
