When Silence Was Shattered
Silence is haunting when it follows After burying death
Grizzle lived with his father in a small, ugly, strange, and desolate town where the shadows peeking out of the windows of the houses were never fully visible. It feels like "invisible eyes are following you from every corner of the streets.
Grizzle lost his mother and little sister years ago in a plane crash. So said his father.
Grizzle is a quiet, silent, and strange eight-year-old boy. He has not spoken a single word since he took his first breath after birth.
Anger flows in the form of tears, a terrible monster is hidden behind innocence. His silence is deadly; sadness, pain, fear, and a calm silence are his life. His soul trembles with fear, but there is no shiver in his bones, a calm heart does not beat faster when frightened but becomes more calm. He is so calm, that even his breathing and heartbeat cannot be heard.
One day at midnight of the full moon when the moon becomes the most beautiful ornament of creation. Grizzle went to his father, while he was sleeping. The little boy sat on his chest; seeing this, his father's eyes widened with fear, and his breathing became heavy. "Grizzle now broke his years-long silence."
He said, "Dad, why did you bury Mom and Elvira alive? She is sitting on your shoulders right now and drinking your blood.

5 Most Haunted Objects in History: From Annabelle to Robert the Doll
I have a confession to make: I am obsessed with European history, specifically castles. There’s something about a stone fortress that feels like a magnet for the paranormal. In my mind, every castle is haunted, usually by a lady in a white dress, a headless nobleman, or (the absolute worst) creepy ghost children.

Whoa, this is chilling in the best way! Grizzle’s eerie silence and that midnight twist? Absolute goosebumps! The buildup was perfectly creepy, and that final line hits like a thunderclap. Such a haunting little tale—love how it keeps you hooked till the very end.✨👏
This is super chilling 🥲!!
Hahahahahahaha I've heard of this urban legend before! Your story was so creepy!
Your story is both terrifying and heart-breaking. I pity Grizzle. It indicates he was aware from the start that his father had murdered his mother and sister. He was quiet because he was definitely afraid. His silence and terror serve as a sharp warning of the perils of remaining silent. You nailed your story, SK. I enjoyed reading it.
The trauma, guilt, and secrets show how hiding the truth can create fear and sadness. Grizzle's silence is powerful and scary, and the father's guilt haunts him like a ghost. Wasn't his Dad the evil one then? Your "Horror" scripts are suspensive! A dark mystery in a small pack was quite impressive 👏🤝
