The Whispering Shadows

In the dead of night, a chilling mist enveloped the forgotten town of Hollowbrook. The townsfolk had vanished decades ago, leaving only their eerie, dilapidated homes behind. A group of curious friends, drawn to the town’s haunting legends, ventured into the darkness.

As they entered a decaying Victorian mansion, shadows danced menacingly. Suddenly, a voice whispered from the shadows, “Leave now or join us.”

Nervous laughter erupted among the group, dismissing it as their imagination. They pressed deeper into the mansion, seeking the source of the voice. The air grew colder, and their flashlights flickered.

In a dimly lit room, they discovered an old, ornate mirror, reflecting their fearful faces. The voice returned, now sharper, “I warned you.”

One by one, the friends were pulled into the mirror’s depths, their terrified screams muffled by the glass. Only one remained, paralyzed with dread. The whisper grew louder, “You should have listened.”

The mirror’s surface shattered, releasing an otherworldly force. The shadows consumed the last survivor, leaving behind an empty mansion, echoing with the chilling laughter of the lost souls, forever trapped within the Whispering Shadows.
