Book Description
It was a dark and stormy night, the kind that sent shivers down your spine and made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. The patter of rain on the windows was like a drumbeat signaling something sinister lurking in the shadows. In the small town of Oakwood, nestled deep in the heart of the forest, the only sound that could be heard was the howling wind and the occasional crack of thunder. Jake, the night watchman of Oakwood, stood at the edge of town, his gaze fixed on the looming treeline. He was a tall, imposing man with a weathered face and a steely gaze that seemed to pierce through the darkness. But tonight, even his resolve was shaken. Something was different. The air felt thicker, charged with an energy that made his skin crawl. As he made his way down Main Street, the shadows seemed to dance and twist around him, whispering secrets that chilled him to the bone. The streetlamps flickered, their light faltering as if being smothered by an unseen force. Jake tightened his grip on his lantern, its flame wavering precariously. "Who's there?" he called out, his voice echoing in the empty street. Only silence answered him, a silence so profound it seemed to swallow his words. Then, a figure materialized from the mist. It was a woman, dressed in a long, flowing gown that billowed in the wind. Her hair was dark as midnight, and her eyes shone like twin stars in the darkness.
