"An Educated Ghost in Need of a Friend to Talk To". AI-Generated.
At that time, I was in my second year of college. It was a moonless night, and everything around me was pitch dark. I couldn’t even see my hand stretched out in front of me. It was around 11 PM. In my village, that’s quite late, as most people are winding down for bed by then. I was walking down the road, heading home after a friend’s birthday party. The fun and food were over, and now it was time to return. The shops were all closed, and only a few stray dogs were wandering the streets. I crossed the main road and entered a narrow alley.

Shadow of Past
"Last night, that black cat sat on my chest again," Jakob said to his mother. "I swear, its eyes were hanging out, and blood was dripping from them. Yet it was still staring at me. It comes every night; I feel suffocated, but I can't scream or move." As always, his mother responded with the same words: "You're a great storyteller; I admire you for it. You should start writing." She smiled and dismissed his words as nonsense. Every morning, Jakob repeated the same claims, which is why no one believed him. Still, after each night, he would wake up with an unusual restlessness and fear in his eyes. "Jakob would keep mumbling throughout the day: 'Someone is always following me like a shadow; someone is constantly watching me. There’s blood instead of liquor in my bottles. Someone pushes me suddenly. Someone is squeezing my heart.'" His parents decided Jakob had gone mad and advised him to stay home. Jakob was a tailor but stopped going out and confined himself to the four walls of his house, consumed by his strange, terrifying thoughts. One morning, he didn’t get out of bed. Jakob was never one to oversleep, but today was different. When his mother went to his room to wake him, what she saw made her scream in horror. Her whole body trembled, and moments later, she collapsed to the floor in shock. Jakob’s neck was broken, his eyes were hanging out of their sockets, and his bed was soaked in blood. Jakob was dead. Moments after his death, a fire broke out in his shop, engulfing it in flames until nothing but ashes remained. For his parents, this was a devastating tragedy. His mother fell into a coma soon after and passed away not long after that. Jakob’s father, however, became determined to uncover the mystery of his son’s death. He sought out a hermit living on a hill, renowned for his ability to reveal past and future truths. Taking one of Jakob’s shirts, he approached the hermit for answers. What the hermit revealed was bone-chilling. He told Jakob’s father, "Your son had a habit of visiting cremation grounds. He would steal embers from burning pyres and use them to press his customers' clothes. Once, he even ate the flesh from the pyre of a young girl he had murdered himself. Evil spirits resided in his body, and the black cat he claimed to see was the harbinger of his gruesome death." _
