The Dark House
James entered the abandoned mansion on a dare. As he crept through the dark halls, his flashlight flickered, and he heard a whisper: "Leave..."
The air grew colder, the whispers louder, until they became screams. Panicked, James tried to escape, but the house seemed to shift around him, trapping him in complete darkness.
His flashlight died, and the walls began closing in. The last thing James heard before the darkness consumed him was the house's chilling command: "Leave..."
The next day, James was gone without a trace. The mansion stood silent, except for a faint whisper that echoed through the empty halls... "Leave."
