Do Not Open the Door
Do Not Open the Door The wind howled through the cracks in the old wooden cabin, its mournful cry echoing off the desolate mountains. It was a stormy night, the kind where even the bravest of souls would rather stay inside, far away from the dangers lurking in the dark wilderness. Yet here I was, alone in my grandfather's secluded cabin, miles from the nearest town, with nothing but the faint glow of a dying fireplace for company.

Cousin It!
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. This was Aunt Marge’s only instruction before she left me in charge of her dusty old house for the weekend. The note had been left on the fridge, stuck with a faded magnet shaped like a pineapple. I chuckled at the melodrama of it all. What was behind that door? A portal to another dimension? A haunted treasure chest? Or—most likely—just a room filled with old junk and Aunt Marge’s questionable taste in antique furniture?

In the rich embroidered artwork of Southeast Asian old stories, not many animals spellbind the creative mind as much as the Seua Saming, or Weretiger.

Like the werewolves of Western folklore, weretigers are both dreaded and worshipped for their extraordinary influence, as well as their capacity to bring both favorable luck and catastrophe.

The locals spoke in hushed tones about the manor, warning each other to steer clear after dark, for the spirit of Lady Eleanor Blackwood still roamed its halls, mourning the life she lost.
