Ray's Home

Detective Ray and her partner, Jed, take on what should have been a simple assignment: investigate a secluded mansion said to flicker with strange lights at night. A routine mystery. A contained case. But the moment they cross the property line, the world behind them dissolves. The road they walked on twists into nothing. The town disappears. Only fog remains—dense, silent, swallowing everything they once knew. Ahead of them stands the mansion. Ray’s Home. Inside, reality fractures. Each room reshapes itself into scenes pulled from Ray’s imagination—fragments of stories, fears, dreams, and unresolved pieces of herself she never intended anyone to see. Ghostly manifestations wander the halls: playful, haunting, chaotic… and familiar. Jed fears they are trapped in a living labyrinth. Ray begins to fear something else. The mansion responds to her thoughts. It bends to her emotions. It knows her. With every door they open, they descend deeper into Ray’s inner world—her creativity, her chaos, her darkness, her brilliance—until the boundaries between detective and dreamer begin to dissolve. Because at the end of this maze lies the truth Ray has avoided all her life: To escape the mansion, she must confront not a monster, not a spirit, but herself— the version of Ray that creates worlds… and the version of Ray that can destroy them. A delayed Halloween Special where mystery meets imagination, and the greatest danger is realizing the story has been watching you back.

I gave stern orders for no one to disturb me for the entirety of the day." her austere voice rang out. "I... I know my princess... please forgive me... I... I did not mean to disturb you but... this is something very important." "Let's have it then." replied Angelica closing the book she had been reading as she laid eyes on the maid. The maid gulped, the fear evident in her eyes, she did not know how Angelica would react to the severely bad news she had brought with her, however, one thing was sure, Angelica would not react lightly at all. "My... m...y prince...ss the..." said the maid, causing Angelica to sigh in annoyance, rolling her eyes, she had better things to do than sit here listening to the maid's mumbling. "Yes, say it." said Angelica giving the maid a hand. "My princess, the crowned prince has returned." said the maid. "Oh... well that's nice... I guess I will see him later, or better yet tomorrow. There is no rush, I am sure he is swarmed by crowds at the moment." replied Angelica lazily, she really had no intention of moving from this spot. "But my princess... ther— " "Oh, you're right, it would be unacceptable if I did not come out to greet him, rumours would certainly ensue and the kingdom would be in serious hysteria as they always are." replied Angelica annoyed. "Yes, you are right, I should go and welcome him back home." said Angelica as she stood up and yawned. "My princess... that is not all, there is something else..." said the maid. "And what is that?" asked Angelica as the maid's eyes darted around the room, she did not know what to do, or how best to put this. "My princess... the... the crowned prince has truly returned but..." said the maid with a prolonged pause. "But what?" asked Angelica, her senses tingling, she had a inking that there was something wrong from the maid's strange behaviour. "But his highness..." paused the maid. "Out with it now!" said Angelica sternly. "His highness has returned with a strange woman and the rumours claim that she is his new wife!" spat out the maid as Angelica suddenly felt lightheaded and she fell back down on the chair. "My princess!" cried the maid as she rushed to her. "This is some sort of farce." said Angelica as the maid proceeded quickly to fan her with a cloth. "No my princess... it is true." replied the maid. "This is impossible. Ian must be mad, I am going to see this display of stupidity for myself!" said Angelica hotly, quickly rising up and storming out of the room as the poor maid followed behind her. ||||
