Anya Kurz

Bravery looks at his target with unease. He side-eyes his father, Confidence, and says, “So this is her? My debut?” Confidence nods. “Yes. You need to make her feel brave and act upon it in order to pass the test. Only then can you enter the League.” Bravery shudders. This is so much harder than he thought. He looks at his target again. She is sitting under an oak tree, engrossed in a book. The sunlight streams through the bright green leaves to envelop her in a warm, hazy bubble. Her curtain heavy hair hides her eyes in a blac...

Anya Kurz

Hollow Manor October 31, 1999 "Are you guys coming or not?" Charlie demanded, a snarky smirk crawling up his face. "Or are you too scared?" Charlie, Alice, Tanner, and Emmet stand in front of Hollow Manor, the oldest house in the neighborhood. Every kid grew up hearing stories of the murder. The owner of the house, Mr. Hollow, was murdered viciously by his wife on Halloween night twenty years ago, in 1979. His throat slashed and his head cut open to reveal his brain, sliced into pieces. Reports say that the blood that seeped into the mast...
