The towering trees cast monstrous shadows, whispering eerily with every gust of wind. The villagers had forbidden anyone from entering that cursed land—because ‘he’ lived there.

Tales of spirits that roamed the halls, shadows that moved without light, and an historical curse that sure the souls of the long-departed. Yet, drawn via way of means of interest and the want to show her bravery, she ventured into the decaying structure.
