Attic Secrets
In the attic, Jack found an old leather-bound diary. His grandparents had left it behind when they moved in with their daughter years ago. As night fell, he began to read aloud, hoping the stories would bring him a goodnight tale. But each word seemed to whisper of a darker truth-of a curse that ran through their lineage. Jack felt the air grow cold and realized this diary was more than just history; it held the key to unraveling his family's secrets.
The diary entries detailed the tragic fate of his great-great-grandfather, who had made a pact with an ancient witch for wealth, sealing a curse that would haunt their line. Each page described the eerie occurrences in the family home: doors slammed shut on their own, unexplained cold spots, and whispered voices at night. Jack's hands trembled as he read of his ancestors' fear and desperation.
Determined to understand, Jack stayed up late into the night. The final entry spoke of a ritual that could break the curse but required sacrifice-the sacrifice of the family heirloom, an ancient silver locket passed down for generations. As dawn approached, Jack faced a harrowing decision: continue unraveling his family's dark history or leave it buried in the attic forever.
The diary clutched tightly in his hand, Jack knew he had to choose wisely.
