Fata Narrat: Short Stories

Whispers in the Woods

In the heart of an ancient, dense forest stood a dilapidated house, its walls adorned with peeling paint. The locals whispered about strange occurrences and eerie sightings, but none had dared to venture inside. One crisp autumn evening, four friends-Ella, Liam, Mia, and Noah-decided to explore the haunted house for themselves. As they stepped through the creaking door, a cold gust swept past them, sending shivers down their spines. Inside, shadows danced on the walls, and an unsettling silence hung heavy in the air. They laughed it off, dismissing any supernatural explanations. But as night fell, the house began to reveal its true nature.

The scent of decaying wood and dust filled the air, making them feel uneasy. Strange whispers echoed through the halls, and the temperature plummeted. Objects moved without a touch, and flickering lights caused them to stumble. Their initial excitement turned into dread when they discovered an old journal hidden in one of the rooms. The entries described horrific experiments conducted by the previous owner decades ago.

Ella, a curious historian, read aloud from the journal while Mia, a skeptical skeptic, tried to maintain her composure. Liam, always the jokester, attempted to lighten the mood with humor, but his attempts fell flat as the darkness seemed to mock them. Noah, the quiet and introspective one, grew increasingly uneasy, feeling like he was being watched.

As dawn approached, their screams were cut short as the front door slammed shut from the inside. Trapped in the house, they realized the only way out was to uncover the truth behind its haunting. The friends huddled together, listening to distant noises and wondering what lies beyond the darkness.
