When the old finally loosens its grip, the new does not arrive alone.

Something steps through with it — known, patient, and owed.

The path ahead is slick with remembrance.

Each footprint presses into things that were never meant to resurface.

What waits beyond isn’t chasing you.

It’s expecting you.

🩸 Submission Guidelines:

• Microhorror only (250–500 words)

• Deadline: January 26th

Some endings don’t stay finished.

Some arrivals should never be answered.
