my brand-new novella, a three hour psychological horror tale that packs a punch (that'll make sense when you hear it) brought to you by the veteran narrator, VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED ~ Author
Walk into a milk tea shop these days, and you may leave carrying more than just a drink. Crisps, cakes, and even surprise snack packs now line the shelves alongside the bubble tea. Chinese brands are transforming a quick sip into a full‑fledged shopping experience. It is affordable, convenient, and rapidly becoming the norm! / Are personality tests picking the best hires (09:14)? On the show: Steve, Yushun & Xingyu

A couple of days later, it was like I was living in a sense of déjà vu
The box was still there. Everything was where I left it.
Then I heard a voice. It came from somewhere.
April 1st is my favorite day of the year so I had to send this story to MCP - VVC
It's taken 40 since I've been watching.
We all agreed and gathered around the campfire.
Don't get too attached.
That's when things started going wrong.

Author, here! After the amazing reaction you guys had to part one, I hope you all enjoy the conclusion. Part one was the build up, this is the rollercoaster ride down! And, for those who have messaged me incessantly recently, asking if MCP is going to finish covering my series My Wife and I went to Las Vegas for our Honeymoon, which I actually redid every part, including the first two he posted, to make it better, if you want to hear him narrate the redone story, let him know!
In Episode 218, Sarah chats with Enneagram author, speaker, and podcaster Sarajane Case about Reading Through the Enneagram. After a brief introduction to the Enneagram and how it differs from other personality systems, they dive into how Enneagram types show up in our reading lives — from guessing an author's type to rethinking our own habits as readers. Sarajane walks through the nine types, shares a book recommendation for each, and offers her own personal picks.

Author here! This an older, more cosmic underwater horror story of mine from two years ago, a two parter that got a lot of positive reaction on Reddit. It has some flaws, but I hope you enjoy it, and the upcoming second part as much as you did my Abandoned Ship story, Exploding Whale and Crater Lake stories MCP has done. And also, I hope you caught the tributes to horror movie characters, directors and writers with names like Carpenter, Alten, King and Windows.

Mahogany and Cheddar Make Everything Better
They keep disappearing
A cacophony of human screaming. So many people, begging for help.
I had my son, nothing else mattered.
The police searched for months. The story was all over the news.
In exchange for their stories... this one got to me.

“Driving alone?”“Yeah.”“Long trip?”“Few more hours.”
It should've been simple.It should've just been cold.
A very Merry Christmas from me to all of you. I hope it's a great one! ~ The Blue Man
The cold suddenly felt colder.
But the photos were different now.
It is all just a pleasant blur.
Every night. 03:07 exactly. Every single night for over four thousand consecutive days.That's not atmospheric. That's accounting.
“You want to go ghost hunting?”“I want to go debunking.”
I hope everyone likes this as much as part 1. Imho I think it's even better. Will I delve back into this part of my universe? Maybe, if folks are digging it enough. ~ Hugh Ehhoule
The subject line read only: “Come in. Immediately.”
Winning's Winning
Funny how life works, but there's nothing funny about my situation
A BAC of 0.03%? What a joke.
