“Did you hear that?” Anna whispered, her flashlight shaking so hard it looked like it was trying to do the cha-cha.
Eddy squinted up the attic stairs. “Hear what?”
A long, slow creak echoed from above—like someone stepping on a giant peanut.
“Look!” Eddy whispered, pointing toward the water. “It wasn’t there yesterday.”
Anna squinted at the strange wooden raft tied to the dock behind her grandmother’s cottage. It was old and worn, covered in moss and sea vines, but something about it shimmered faintly in the morning sun.
Lily X tugged at one of the ropes. “This thing looks like it came from a pirate movie!”
"Did you see it?!" Eddy whispered, his eyes wide as moons. Anna tugged her scarf tighter around her neck and squinted at the empty lantern post in front of the village bakery. "Nope. Not again."

The sun hung low in the sky, casting elongated shadows across the sprawling grounds of the Central Valley Dinosaur Park. Children laughed and ran, their squeals echoing as they chased the lifelike replicas of long-extinct creatures.

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the ancient stone courtyard of the old manor house. Ivy clung to the weathered walls, and a chill whispered through the air as Violet rummaged through her late grandfather's belongings.
