The Whispering Shadows

In the eerie town of Black Hollow, whispers linger in the wind, and shadows move when no one is looking. When Detective Elias Carterarrives to investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl, he quickly realizes this is not just another missing person case. Emily Thornton is the latest in a pattern of vanishing girls—one every fifteen years, always without a trace.

As Elias digs deeper, he uncovers chilling accounts of a silent figure watching from the town’s edge, of whispers in the night, and of an unsettling force lurking within the darkness. Each clue pulls him closer to a terrifying truth—one that has haunted Black Hollow for generations.

Something ancient is waiting. Something that should never be awakened.

Can Elias solve the mystery before another girl disappears? Or will he, too, become just another whisper in the shadows?

SYNOPSIS

In the forgotten town, the crumbling Willowridge Orphanage looms, shrouded in a suffocating silence that conceals dark secrets. Among its lost children is Elias, a boy straddling the line between reality and fantasy, drawn to whispers that beckon him from the shadows. As he endures the harshness of Miss Grayson, the tyrannical caretaker, his curiosity leads him to the forbidden garden—a wild, overgrown realm harboring an ancient malevolence eager to ensnare him.

As Elias delves deeper, he becomes entangled in a web of manipulation spun by a restless spirit, promising freedom and revenge. The once-innocent whispers transform into a nightmarish reality, blurring the lines between innocence and corruption. "Whispers in the Ashes" is a chilling tale of longing and the perilous cost of listening to the wrong voices, where silence reveals more than it conceals.

The Great Tree knows everything. An adventurer is hired by a mysterious cult to find this ancient plant, which holds the answers to the world's greatest mysteries. This is a story of ancient gods, secret societies, and the most repulsive acts in human history.

A world where shadows whisper secrets, a young woman in her twenties finds herself haunted by a past that has stripped her of everything she once held dear. Strong yet deeply traumatized, she navigates life with a heart heavy from loss. Each day is a battle against the memories that threaten to consume her, yet amid the darkness, one question drives her forward: what is it that compels her to truly live rather than merely survive?

Chaithra and her friends sneak into a haunted house at 2:00 AM, where eerie events unfold. She is teleported to a dark hallway, chased by a living scarecrow, and surrounded by bloodstained messages. Reuniting with her friends, they witness a ghost capturing Nethra and turning her into someone unrecognizable.

Delilah watkins, a 38-year-old single mother who owns a floral shop in Washington struggles with life already. When she starts getting notes, things go from bad to worse. Can Delilah protect her daughter and herself from this stalker, or will she die trying?

I had written a couple of short horror stories and usually dragged into a more or less action set piece but I keep trying to have them being a bit toned down.

This was a short horror story I did for my creative writing class not too long ago. The limit was two pages. I know it's not very good, especially since I started it the day it was supposed to be due. Also, I took a lot of inspiration from Juni Ito's Tomie (since I had to have it completed by fourth period and I was in a rush). But I just wanted to share it here just because.

Also I read it to my class because we had to and I was sorta proud of it and I barely got compliments. I still didn't really get over that... Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
