Welcome to Hive, @inkvortex! The idea that whatever is inside Mama Nkem’s house only needs Gemy to answer—not enter—is a chilling hook, and the slippers sucking through the mud make the setting feel real. If you’d like to share little horror teasers between longer stories, InLeo Threads (inleo.io) could be a good fit. Is the abandoned settlement inspired by a place or a village story you grew up hearing?
