The block didn’t burn by accident. It remembered. WHAT THE CONCRETE KEEPS is a slow-burn urban horror story about a neighborhood that listens, a fire that wasn’t the end of anything, and what crawls in once fear has softened the ground. Missing people. A cracked sidewalk. A jukebox carried by a man who shouldn’t have been able to lift it—eyes full of stars, smiling like it chose him. This isn’t a monster that chases you. It’s a place that keeps score. Read the full story now. Step lightly.
