The Haven of Shadows
At the edge of the woods in the small village of Dhulipur stood an ancient mansion that the locals called "Chhayar Ashtana," or "The Haven of Shadows." The mansion, which was once a magnificent and bustling residence, had been deserted for many years, its heyday long forgotten. Its disintegrating walls were covered in thick ivy, and broken windows protruded like sunken eyes. It was considered to be cursed—a spot where dark secrets hid and shadows came to life—and few dared venture near it.

Interview of Howard Barlow two
Walking out of the dressing room that he was provided, Howard took a deep breath. Thinking over the question of Winnie’s suit. Why would anyone say that it hadn’t been seen in so many years? It was the first thing that you saw when you came into the restaurant. The only thing he had to change about Silvy’s appearance was her head. After the incident it was unusable. Nor would he want to use it even if it wasn’t. The thing held too many memories of his wife, and he couldn’t bring himself to reuse it.
