Title: In Memoria
Genre: Horror
Rating: R
Warnings: References to suicide
Summary: When the ghost haunting her theater started damaging property, Laquoya had refused to get involved. But now people are getting hurt, and while her first instinct is to run away, she knows she's the only one who really understands what's going on...only to find out that she doesn't at all.
Note: I'll probably lock this story next month so I can revise it further (strengthen plot & improve character voices, among many other things).

title: Hikikomori
genre: Horror
rating/warnings: Mild violence and cursing, references to the death of a parent.
summary: Nobody has seen the residents of house 409 in three years. The only signs that someone still lives there are pizza deliveries left on the doorstep. Rumor has it that the father had made a deal with the Devil and the Devil had come to collect. Both parents had been killed, they said, and only the daughter was spared. Trapped inside the house, a prisoner of monsters.

Xena Caldwell is a drifter and new to town. To everyone else, the story is just a bit of local color, but to her it is a fairy tale waiting for its happy ending. She breaks inside, determined to ride to the rescue...and gets more than she bargained for.
