The wind
howled through
the empty
streets of the
abandoned town.
A shadow
flickered at
the edge of her
vision, sending
a chill down
her spine.
She paused,
heart racing,
as the scent of
decay wafted
through the
air.
No one had
lived here for
decades, or so
the locals
said.
The old church
loomed ahead,
its once white
steeple now a
dark
silhouette.
She clutched
her flashlight,
its beam
trembling as
she stepped
inside.
The wooden
pews creaked
ominously
beneath her
weight.
A whisper
echoed through
the dust-laden
air, calling
her name
softly.
Each step felt
heavy, as if
the very ground
wished to
swallow her
whole.
Suddenly, the
door slammed
shut behind
her, sealing
her fate.
Darkness
enveloped her,
and the
temperature
plummeted as
she realized
she was not
alone.
Figures began
to materialize,
twisted and
gnarled, their
eyes glowing
with malevolent
hunger.
Panic surged
within her as
she turned to
flee, but the
shadows closed
in.
With a
heart-stopping
scream, the
last vestige of
light vanished,
claiming
another lost
soul.
