# The Whisper in the Woods

On Halloween night, the narrator, who recently moved to a quiet, isolated town, experiences a series of eerie events. At first, they notice a shadowy figure standing near the edge of the haunted woods outside their house. Shortly after, a strange envelope appears on their doorstep with a chilling message: "Stay out of the woods tonight."

Despite trying to brush it off as a prank, the night takes a sinister turn. Strange footsteps are heard outside, and multiple cloaked figures are spotted moving through the woods, approaching the house. The situation escalates when the power goes out, and the knocking returns—this time followed by whispers urging the narrator to come to the woods.

In complete darkness, the narrator's anxiety grows as a loud bang reveals the back door is wide open, and they realize they are no longer alone inside the house. Terrified, they flee, running down the street without looking back. The narrator never discovers who or what was watching them or what lurked in the woods, but they heed the warning and vow never to return to the ominous forest.

# The House That Whispers

On a misty Halloween night, the narrator finds themselves walking home alone after their friends cancel plans. The small town, usually lively during the holiday, feels unnervingly quiet.

At the end of the dark hallway, a shadowy figure with hollow eyes suddenly appears. The figure doesn't move at first, but then it begins to approach, its unnatural movements filling the narrator with dread.

Panicking, the narrator attempts to flee, but the front door slams shut, trapping them inside. As the whispers grow into a chaotic chorus of voices calling their name, the narrator bolts through the house, desperately searching for a way out. They finally break through a side door into the backyard and sprint down the street, trying to escape the terrifying presence behind them.

However, as they run, something inexplicable happens—the town itself seems different. The streets, the houses, everything looks unfamiliar. When the narrator stops to catch their breath, they turn around and are horrified to see the same abandoned house standing before them, now fully restored with lights glowing in the windows. Confused and terrified, they realize they haven't escaped at all.

Suddenly, their phone buzzes. A message from
