The Three Frames Of John
Frame One: Suffering John’s world was rendered in shades of grey. Not a dramatic, stormy grey, but the flat, unending grey of a forgotten Tuesday. He worked a job inputting data, numbers blurring into a meaningless stream, his cubicle a beige box within a larger beige box. Evenings were solitary, the silence of his small apartment amplifying the gnawing emptiness within him. Food tasted like ash, music felt like noise, and sleep was a brief, unrefreshing escape. He wasn't actively sad, not in a way that brought tears; he was simply… hollow. A ghost haunting the edges of his own life. The suffering was a quiet, relentless erosion of spirit.

The Ghostly House
"The Ghostly House" Author: \[Raju Ahmed] The village was called Shalban. A quiet, green-shrouded little village. But it wasn’t just any ordinary village. To the north of the village stood an old, crumbling mansion. It was dubbed "The Haunted House" by everyone. Ever since childhood, I had heard stories about how no one dared go near that house after dusk. Strange noises—sometimes laughter, sometimes crying, and often the sound of footsteps—were said to be heard from there. Villagers believed the mansion once belonged to a landlord named Haripada Roy. But one night, his entire family was mysteriously murdered. Since then, they say, a restless spirit has haunted the house.
