Psychological Horror Story Writer Needed

I want an original psychological-horror short story built around a psychological-thriller style mystery. The mood must stay dark and intense, drawing readers into the characters’ minds while steadily tightening the suspense.

Here’s what I need:
• An original short story (final word count to be agreed on once we outline the concept).
• A brief two-paragraph synopsis so I can see the core hook at a glance.
• A cast list with one-sentence bios to keep motivations clear.

Story expectations
• Deep emotional immersion, believable characters, and twists that feel earned.
• An unsettling atmosphere that escalates rather than relies on gore.
• 100% original content—no recycled plots or AI-generated text (I’ll run checks).
• All rights transferred to me upon final payment.

Process I prefer
1. Outline or high-level beat sheet for approval.
2. First draft delivery with progress updates.
3. One revision round to polish pacing and tension.

If you thrive on crafting suspenseful, character-driven horror and can communicate promptly, I’d love to hear your concept pitch and timeline.
