Shadow

The

masks were late at night, on the outskirts of a village, with the local old two-storey home, "Shado of Shadow." No one lived there for decades. No one wanted to buy it because everyone believed something was there - consistent and still awful.

Raffy, the young architect of the city, bought the house. He believed that there were no ghosts. He was a reasonable man in the city. He wanted to give this old building a modern note. "Ghost stories are artificial," he told a friend. "I don't believe in such superstitions."

First day: Strange senses: Raffy was pulled into his house one night with his things. The air was difficult. Even the birds looked quiet. Once in, he smelled a strange smell - old wood, mold, and... It's like burning frankincense! Still, no one lit up anything. That night, I woke up to the sound of the door opening. He stood up and found the door. Nevertheless, he knew he had closed it tightly.

"Only the wind," he comforted himself.

Day 2: Shadow in the Mirror The next day, he explored the room of his house. On the second floor, there was a room with a large mirror. Raffy looked in the mirror and suddenly saw the woman's shadow! He turned around - no one was there. Looking back at the mirror, the shadows had disappeared.

He thought, Suddenly, he was scared! Did someone call his name? Again, he heard a gentle voice - The room smelled like old quilts, broken chairs and torn paintings. Suddenly, a loud noise hit the door! Liarhan ran to open it, then he saw the girl standing in the corner of the room.

Your hair was long, and her face was invisible. She slowly turned. Liarhan's neck is dry. Her eyes were red, and it was the blood in the corner of her lips.

She said: "My name was Rubina. I lived in this house. They burned me and died. My crime loved the boy in the city..."

Rayhan tried to retreat, but his feet certainly felt. The girl slowly approached. She said. "

Raihan threw a horror at Raihan. Abbas informs him that he had left Ryeran, who was lying in front of the house late at night, and brought him in. But the strange thing is, no one saw him enter the house.

Liarhan quietly returned from his office. He returned to town but couldn't laugh like he had before. Even now, while he was sleeping, someone called his name "Raihan...

*Return to the house *

2 nights later, slept and not tormented by vision, Rafi returned to the village. He needed an answer.

He returned to his home.

This time he brought in incense, candles and an old diary. He was hidden beneath a loose panel of surprises in his bedroom. It belonged to Rubina. The entry was a scattered idea - Forbidden Love, the threat of her family, and the last page only: * I'm in the shadows. "*

The temperature dropped again when he discovered that frankincense and the diary had opened to the bed. The mirror was slowly pushed up. And the words began to form in the glass of mist:

*" "from" rubina? " She was not a monster - she was caught. A mind bound by moments of betrayal and burning pain.

"I didn't want to scare you," she whispered. "But I needed someone...the one who sees me."

"What do you want from me?" He asked, trembling. Rubina was pointing to the ground. Raffy found a burnt wooden box under the old carpet. Inside there were pictures of her and the man - like him, from the city streets. "You don't have us together. They punished me."

"I will be buried," Raffy said gently. "You're free."

She smiled for the first time; her face dared. Her photos of her look like a rauch at dawn, where the mist became clear.

*Final Peace *

The next morning, Raffy buried a box next to the tree where her scarf was once found. He whispered a quiet prayer.

There was still a house tonight.

No steps. There are no whispers.

Rubina is gone.

And finally, the Shadow House was one house.
