In "I Killed Mary," a quiet, overlooked boy named Robby makes a desperate bid for attention by committing a shocking act—though no one believes him when he claims responsibility. As the town dismisses his confession, his growing isolation and longing for recognition spiral into tragedy.

In "Premonition," a college student returns home after a chilling vision of his town’s destruction by hellish demons—only to find his parents alive and well, offering a comforting relief that feels just a little too perfect. As he begins to settle back into normal life, subtle details start to unsettle him, hinting that something far more sinister may be hiding in plain sight.

In "The Witche's Curse," a man broken by years of abuse finds himself at a crossroads one storm-lit night when a mysterious witch offers him a chance to become anything he desires. Tempted by the power to finally stand up to his wife, he makes a fateful wish—only to face a twisted fate when his pride leads him to betray the very being who granted his wish.

In "Bum Ticker," a young man desperate to keep up his fast-paced life faces a grim diagnosis: his heart is failing. After being told to slow down, he seeks out a mysterious doctor who promises a radical solution—only to discover his new heart beats with a rhythm far beyond human control. The story unfolds with creeping unease as his body begins to move at unnatural speeds, leaving him trapped in a body that no longer obeys him.

In a quiet stream where the water runs too still, a man and his friend set out for a day of fishing—until the fish rise, not for bait, but for blood. When the fisherman is overwhelmed by a vengeful swarm, his friend flees, only to realize too late that he was never just a bystander. The title isn’t a metaphor—it’s a confession.
