There in almost God forsaken place
with poor roads where equipage was expensive lived a girl with her independent and
mysterious spinster for a second degree grandmother for a couple of weeks since
she arrived in her big, creepy house located in a little hollow deep down that
road.
Whenever she looked out at the big,
floor-to-ceiling window, she’s thinking if her grandma seems to always have a
sharp eye on everything that pass around and she got to experience a shiver
that when she gaze into the mystifying and vast greenery surrounding them, something
out of place or odd is about to happen. Like something much unexpected is going
to unfold right before her eyes. Or is it a feeling that something was watching
her but when she tried to find what it is, all she gets was the silence and
empty space of the house?
But that doesn’t stop her growing
curiosity to know more about her grandma and more so, to identify the growing interest
the house invokes her. And as she discovers the secret of the attic that the
old woman forbid her to look upon, she finds herself drawn to its secret
library filled with what she guess were rare and priceless tomes. Why did the
grandma put it out there in the darkened and eeriest part of the house where no
one seems would like to stay? And why does she understand something that she
had never seen before? Could she find
her way to graver secrets through that that are being kept from her? Or did
she already?
And her bewilderment is going to
get the best of her that one night as she snuggled close to the small lantern that
chases the darkness, a welcomed companion to her tryst with a tome. Utterly transfix,
she slowly, ponderously asserted her eyes from the gypsy illustrations and
glanced to her back to witness a shadow suddenly appeared from nowhere. Unsettling
sensation within her grew at the indistinct at first, image that gradually grew
sharper, till it revealed itself as a lean, tall man.
Dressed in an all black, she met an
obsidian black pair of eyes, glinting in what she thought a sinister lie or
concealed truth…
