Whispers of the Past
Amelia stood at the break of Ashgrove Manor into the northern woods, the night taut with tension. Above her loomed towering oaks, gnarled branches twisted in the pale moonlight. In one hand, she clutched Eliza's journal; in the other, the locket, her heart racing in a mix of terror and resolve.

Whispers of the Past
Amelia couldn't shake off the dream of the night before. The features of Eliza's face, the mansion teeming with its old glory, and that unknown figure who vanished just as quickly as he appeared haunted her every waking thought. She had spent the day in the library, hoping to find some concrete answers, but all she found were rumors, erratic whispers in the dusty books.

Every 40 Seconds…
Raindrops beat away on my windshield. The rhythm of their pitter patter hypnotizes me, and brings me back to that night. I take another long burning swig from the Vodka filled thermos with a single tear snaking down my eye.
