It never meowed. It never moved. It simply sat in the flower bed, staring at her with bright yellow eyes. Her parents said it belonged to a neighbor, but Mia knew something was wrong. Each night, the cat looked a little larger. First it was the size of an ordinary house cat. Then it grew as large as a dog. By the seventh night, its head nearly reached the bottom of her window.

Her parents blamed scary books and an overactive imagination, but the sound kept getting louder every night with soft sobbing, like someone trapped and begging not to be forgotten. One stormy Thursday, Emma finally worked up the courage to open the closet door after the crying suddenly stopped. Inside was nothing except deep scratch marks carved into the wood and a sentence written in shaky letters:...]]></description><link>https://www.ashleydelriowrites.com/post/monster</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a385f0a6ff6de15e8aad0b6</guid><pubDate>Sun, 21 Jun 2026 22:01:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_85e9902ea25f4583aa0c7dc71e2635d1~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ashley Del Rio</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Girl in the Mirror Room]]></title><description><![CDATA[When Ava arrived in Los Angeles, she was nineteen years old, carrying a single suitcase and dreams far bigger than the small town she had left behind. Her beauty opened doors almost instantly. Photographers praised her unique look, agencies competed for her attention, and opportunities appeared faster than she could understand them.

The city seemed obsessed with appearances, and the people around her often looked at her with an...]]></description><link>https://www.ashleydelriowrites.com/post/the-girl-in-the-mirror-room</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a3859d6f430f13b4c4e3bac</guid><pubDate>Sun, 21 Jun 2026 21:40:25 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/4359503e651194427199efd335a106ee.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ashley Del Rio</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Woman Across the Street]]></title><description><![CDATA[The woman moved into the house across the street in the middle of winter. Nobody ever saw moving trucks arrive, and nobody ever saw her leave. Every night at exactly 2:13 a.m., Emily would wake up and notice the woman standing in her upstairs window, staring directly at her house. At first, Emily tried to ignore it, convincing herself it was coincidence. But then strange things began happening. Family photos disappeared and reappeared in different rooms. Her back door was found unlocked every...]]></description><link>https://www.ashleydelriowrites.com/post/the-woman-across-the-street</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a336ed8ce85b49c3c4f3acc</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2026 04:06:55 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ec30f6a8c8964729af7b702986877bdf.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Ashley Del Rio</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
