1. Arrival in Hollowbrook
The narrow, winding road twisted through the forest, thick fog
wrapping around Olivia's car like a cold embrace.
She tightened her grip on the wheel, trying to suppress the unease
crawling under her skin. Hollowbrook was supposed
to be a quiet town where she could escape her past - a place to heal.
The house she inherited from her estranged grandmother was
ancient, with ivy creeping up cracked walls and windows
that seemed to watch her. A strange heaviness lingered in the air as if
the house was waiting. As Olivia unlocked the
front door, it groaned open, revealing a foyer steeped in dust and
silence.
A faint noise pricked at her ears - a whisper. She shook her head,
dismissing it as the wind stirring the trees.

6. The Final Whisper
Something slithered across the floor behind her, and Olivia turned,
tears streaming down her face. She could barely make out
a shape - twisted, skeletal, with hollow eyes that glimmered in the
faintest hint of moonlight.
