Dominion: A Short Horror Story
By Gabino Barrera Casanova

Evil doesn’t need an invitation — only a moment of weakness.

When a grieving widower named Marcus inherits a crumbling farmhouse in the remote hills of East Texas, he sees it as a chance to escape the noise of the world and the pain of his past. But silence can be deceiving. Beneath the floorboards and behind the walls, something ancient waits — something that never left.

As Marcus begins to experience strange visions and chilling whispers, he uncovers a secret buried deep in the soil: the house was once the site of an unsanctioned spiritual experiment — a ritual gone wrong that opened a door no man was meant to open. Now, the land itself is cursed, and the evil that once had dominion over the house wants a new vessel… him.

As darkness closes in and the veil between worlds thins, Marcus must confront a terrifying truth: the only way to survive is to fight not just for his life, but for control of his soul.

Dominion is a tense, atmospheric horror tale of grief, possession, and the invisible forces that hunger for dominion over human hearts. In just a few pages, it delivers a full-throttle descent into spiritual terror — where every shadow is suspect, and salvation comes with a price.
