The SSC exams were over. So this time I would get a long vacation. So I started planning where to go. After much thought, I decided to go to my village home. I requested my dear friend Suman to go with me to my village home, he agreed. On the specified day, Suman and I reached the village home by bus. We went there on Tuesday, so it was not very crowded. The day after reaching the village home, a strange incident happened. The village's Sharif Ali is said to have died. He also committed suicide again. I felt a little bad. The police investigated and said that he committed suicide by jumping off the roof. I did not understand why a person like him would commit suicide. Because he got his two daughters married. He also got grandchildren. He should be happy. Anyway, as I was going to his house that day and thinking about him, I did not realize when the night had passed. After running around all day, after eating and drinking, Suman and I lay down on the bed. Still, I couldn't sleep at night. Still, I forced myself to stay in bed. When I woke up in the morning, it was almost ten o'clock. I woke up and saw that Suman was not next to me. Then I went to the inner room and saw that not only Suman was there, but also no one else was at home except my two aunts and two sisters. When I asked my aunt where the rest of the family was, she said that everyone in the family had gone to Jasim uncle's house, and Suman was also there. Jasim uncle died last night. Then I ran to Jasim uncle's house without delay. I heard that Jasim uncle had committed suicide by hanging himself. People started saying that someone must have cursed the village. Due to which people are dying one by one. They stopped coming out of the house at night out of fear. Then Avi and Suman decided that we will go out at night. Whatever happens to us will happen but we will find out the secret of the death of the people of the village. At night, the only thing being talked about at the dinner table. At one point, uncle said that tomorrow we villagers will go to a monk or priest together and see if they give us any solution. After finishing the meal, everyone fell asleep. Suman and I were acting, then after everyone fell asleep, we quietly opened the door and went out. After walking some distance, I saw our neighbor Anwar uncle going towards the pond. I didn't understand anything at that time, I just called him. He didn't answer. Suddenly I remembered that he doesn't go swimming. Then I realized that maybe he is going to commit suicide by drowning in the river. Suman and I immediately ran and stopped him. After some time, he came to his senses. When I asked him, he said that he didn't know that he was How did he get to the pond? He said he only heard the sound of a cat crying and then he didn't remember anything else. Then the cat in front of me ran away. Suman and I ran and blocked the cat's path. Then I took out a box of matches from my pocket and said, "Tell me who you are or I will set it on fire." The cat said, "No, don't kill me, I will tell you everything." The cat changed from its cat form into a beautiful woman. Suman said, "She is Akash Ali's wife." Akash Ali used to come home drunk every day. When he came home, he would beat her and her daughter. The girl would just ask, "Why are you beating us?" I would not answer. After going on like this, one day I met a monk and told him everything. Then I asked him how I could keep my daughter with me but no one would see her. He said, "I will recite a mantra and put your daughter inside a cat, so no one will know that there is a girl inside the cat." The next day I took my daughter to him along with our pet cat. He recited the mantra and performed the task. After a few days, Akash Ali's wife went out for some work. She forgot to take the cat, that is, her daughter. went. Akash Ali got angry that day and killed the cat to satisfy his anger for no reason, and after killing the cat, his daughter came out of the cat. Akash Ali's wife came and saw that her daughter had been killed by her husband. A few days later, Akash Ali married another woman. Akash Ali's wife committed suicide in grief over her daughter. After her death, her soul entered the cat. Since then, when the cat cries, people who hear the sound of this cry commit suicide. Akash Ali's wife also told us that until Akash Ali is punished, his soul will not find peace. Then I promised Akash Ali's wife that we will definitely punish Akash Ali. Then Akash Ali's wife came out of the cat's body and the cat died. The next day, my friend Suman was found dead. I said that the soul has left, then how did my friend die? I went to a priest and told him the story. He said that some evil spirit had entered your friend's body. Its purpose was to kill you. You leave here as soon as possible. I am tying a little thread on your hand. Never untie this thread or you may be in danger. I bought a bus ticket that day and returned home. I still don't understand what happened to me that day.

The Mirror That Watched Me Sleep
The Mirror That Watched Me Sleep I saw me while I was sleeping. I found a mirror in an antique business hidden between a rated bakery and a pawn shop. His frame was complicated - pale wood with carved curls and branches, which looked like symbols. The owner said it was from the early 20th century and offered it for half the award without much demand. I should have asked why.

The Church That Eats People
“It baptizes in blood, not water.”Start writing...The Church That Eats People n when the church appeared, only that it hadn’t been there the day before. A structure of soot-black stone and towering iron crosses now squatted at the edge of Graven Hollow, where only tangled woods used to be. It bore no name, no sign, and no history—yet its doors were wide open, inviting anyone foolish or lost enough to step inside.
