Locked Stories

Six former high school overachievers-now burned-out professionals in their mid-thirties-drive up to a secluded mountain Airbnb called Casa Alta to finish a research proposal on heritage and adaptive reuse. The house is beautiful, old, and quiet... almost too quiet. There are six bedrooms on the second floor. Six keys waiting in a basket. A cracked family portrait on the wall. Fog that curls around the terrace but never quite touches the house. The caretaker says they're the first guests in a long time. On the first night, someone hears a key turning in the corridor. On the second night, one door locks itself-and the person inside swears they weren't alone. Trapped without signal in the middle of the mountains, the group begins to remember the classmate who vanished years ago, the retreat they never talk about, and the secrets they've built their adult lives around. Casa Alta knows what they did. And it hasn't forgiven them. In this Filipino ghost-whodunit, every room holds a piece of the truth- and every locked door chooses its next confession.

"That's enough!" I look up to see Luke and Calum glaring at Michael and I. "You've been acting like jerks for too long now. We don't care that you can't get along anymore but we're in a band! When you start acting like jerks on stage, when even fans can tell that something serious is happening between the two of you, that's too much." "That's why we - well you actually - are here. We're not here to write songs like we told you. You'll be staying in that house until you sort out whatever is between you, get it? No computer, no key to exit the house, no phone except this one - which has only Luke and I phone number in it! Now see you soon guys - at least I hope!" In a second, they are out of the house and the door is locked. I looked over Michael, who has the dumbest and shockest face ever. This is going to be long before I ever feel the sun on my face again. Warning: this story contains the mention of eating disorders, self harm, swearing etc...
