The House Remembers
Some settings don’t forget.
They hold echoes, regrets, and names spoken long ago.
Today’s challenge:
Let your setting remember something your characters don’t

One wish.
Twenty-one candles.
And a secret that burns brighter than the flames.

🎃 This Halloween, the fog settles over a convent where faith is thin and the soup is screaming.
Mother Mercy by Dan LoBrace — one of 100 + short horror stories from Dark Descent: Whispers From Beyond (2025 Anthology) — is a slow-burn nightmare of obedience, sin, and whatever’s bubbling beneath the surface.

Good morning! Join me for a cup of coffee?
The air tastes like iron tonight.
The moon isn’t full yet—but close enough that my bones already hum beneath my skin. I can feel the pull, low and steady, like a heartbeat I don’t remember being mine.
You humans call it superstition.
I call it appetite.
So drink your coffee while you can,
because tomorrow, when the moon is full…
I’ll be hungry.
