HORROR VILLAGE

 

There was once a girl named Mia. She lived in a village. The village was surrounded by a dense forest. The villagers speak quietly about the spooky forest especially at night. Mia however was curious and not afraid. One night, with only a wooden torch, Mia went into the forest. She wanted to explore the mysterious woods. As she went deeper into the forest, the air got colder. Strange shadows start to appear while whispers surround Mia, telling stories of ancient curses and restless spirits. Mia got a little anxious. She found an old mansion with broken windows and vines; she went straight into it. There, in a dusty, old room, she saw a mirror. The mirror was quite interesting, instead of Mia’s reflection, it showed a scary figure with hollow eyes. The figure spoke of a forgotten curse and Mia felt trapped. The shadows closed in, and Mia clinched her torched and screamed at the highest of pitch. Due to her scream the mirror shattered, and that ghostly figure appeared, reaching for Mia’s soul. The village woke up to distant screams. The once quiet village is now haunted by Mia’s screams. Followed by that ghost, more supernatural creatures surfaced and went out towards the village in search of more souls. And soon there developed a world where each human is hosted by another soul in him.
