GENRE:- Mystery-Horror-Thriller
A city of dreams, as it is deemed, Reynburg has been a happy-hunting ground for incoming job-seekers for years. Apart from all its beauties and opportunities, it's also embodied with the infamous 'The Warwick's' mansi...
I could see myself enter into the mansion and it appeared as if I was not there. I mean my body was there but my soul was not. It was as if some other person was dragging me there. Then suddenly it left my body. It was when the main door behind me closed with a bang. I tried to open it but in vain. I banged it again and again, shouting for help but getting no response in return. Therefore, I was left there stranded in the darkness. So, I decided to move on straight into the house. Not a single thing was visible. I was completely dependent on my instincts on where to move.
It was when suddenly a woman came out of nowhere holding a lantern in her hand and said, 'Follow me' in a faint, ghostly manner. She wore torn white clothes which looked quite dirty. I had no other option left but to follow her. She went on walking and I was following her like a kindergarten boy. After walking some distance, we reached the attic. It was not dark. It was well lit. I moved forward to get a better view and when I turned around, the lady was gone.
'Where is my baby?', I heard a voice up from the attic.
Looking forward, I saw a cute, pretty girl, with a milky complexion, dressed in a beautiful frock, hiding there behind the wardrobe of the attic, giggling. She must not be more than five years of age. I moved closer to her. It appeared as if she could not feel or see me. I drooped down and tried to caress the girl's hair.
'Oh! What a pret-'
My hand did not make contact, which shocked me.
Then I heard approaching footsteps from the stairs below which led to the attic. As the sound of approaching footsteps was getting closer and closer, the smile on the baby's face was getting broader and broader. And then the lady came who had led me there. But this time she was dressed well like a mistress.
'There you are! Found you Ruth. It's getting easier to get you day by day'. Then the girl ran towards that lady playfully. The lady took the girl in her arms and they shared a cuddle. Probably she was her mother. It brought a smile on my face.
But then suddenly I heard two sharp gunshots. I turned in the direction of that noise, saw nothing but a faint creature with some small object in his hand walking up to the attic, and then on looking back at them, I could find no one. They were gone. The same old darkness prevailed. It sparked a terror in my heart.

I tried to run out of there in despair but then on reaching the stairs, suddenly a corpse got hold of me by my neck. It looked horrific. It had worn out flesh on some parts of its body along with muscles all over it. Its face was purely skeletal with just a little amount of muscle. Its eyes were bright red. So bright that it was difficult to guess if it were eyes or balls of fire. It looked straight into my eyes and then gave a grunt. I was choking badly.
'Hmm... Finally got some new stuff to feed on', it said in an evil, manly tone and then gave me a smirk. Then it opened his mouth, so wide that it seemed as if it was going to swallow me altogether. I was choking badly and trying hard to set myself free.
Slowly when I was starting to lose my consciousness, I faintly saw it sticking its long, rotten tongue out. It was when I completely lost my consciousness and now, I am waking up in front of you all.
