Day 1: The woman claiming to be my mother slammed a plate of wet, grey meat on the table. I refused to eat. Her jaw unhinged with a sickening crack, and she screamed until I swallowed a bite.
Day 2: I tried to sneak out while 'Dad' was in the garage. The little girl who calls me 'brother' found me. She didn't scream. She just giggled, pointing a long, pale finger back at my room. 'Not ripe yet,' she whispered.
Day 3: I can hear them sharpening knives in the kitchen. They are arguing over which parts to roast. I am shaking so hard my teeth act like a metronome in the silence.
Day 4: The table is finally set. The main course is steaming in the center, perfectly charred. Watching the family tear into the meat and lap up the dark red sauce, I stop shaking. For the first time in days, I feel completely weightless and at peace.

I shriek with ecstasy as I wallow in the brown mire, letting the sludge coat my skin. My parents loom over me, watching. They are massive, and they are definitely not human, but I know they love me.

I smiled groggily when I heard the delivery driver say, "Here's your food," and a voice from the hallway replied, "Thanks, looks great."
But as the deadbolt slid home, I stopped breathing and pulled the duvet over my head, tears streaming down my face in silence.

Jack lives on the tenth floor, yet every evening he subjects himself to the dark, echoing stairwell. He rides the elevator only to the seventh floor, then drags his feet up the remaining three flights. But when the storms come and the rain pours, he bypasses the stairs entirely and rides the elevator straight to his door. Why?

I was chatting with my best friend when my phone slipped from my hand and hit the floor. She screamed in sheer terror. Moments later, I was dead. Why?

The old man wiped his mouth, left a single piece of paper on the table, and walked out of the luxury steakhouse. The manager eagerly snatched the paper and locked it in his safe. The man’s bank account was never charged for the feast, yet the restaurant considered it the most profitable meal they had served all year. No crime was committed, and no charity was given.
