The Mirror at the End of the Hall
Mara was thirteen when her grandmother died and left her the house at Black Hollow. It was a tall, crooked place at the edge of the woods, with dusty red curtains, peeling wallpaper, and a long hallway that stretched too far for such a small house. The villagers whispered that the house was cursed, but Mara's parents said it was just “old and creaky.” They only stayed there in summer.

The Finale – The Bone-Light

The sun dipped behind palm shadows. Cayenne Cove slipped into silence. The tourists were gone. He arrived with the dusk, a stranger gliding through unlocked doors and cracked windows. Not to steal—just to linger.

The Whispering Grave of Spin Ghar
In the shadow of the mighty Spin Ghar mountains, nestled deep in a forgotten corner of eastern Afghanistan, lies the abandoned village of Sarkai Banda. The villagers had fled decades ago, their homes left to the mercy of wind and wild, their mosques crumbled by time, and their memories buried under dust. But there was one thing no one ever dared to forget — the Grave That Whispered.
