Midnight Terror Part 1: Rajiv's Cursed Mansion
Midnight Terror Part 1: Rajiv's Cursed Mansion One quiet evening in the Indian city of Pune, I was sitting with my friend Ram at a café overlooking a busy street. The sky was darkening, and the air was filled with the aroma of Indian food and spices. At that moment, a strange question crossed my mind that I had been hesitating to ask Ram for a while. I had heard about an abandoned mansion at the end of Baner Street, next to a small lake. The horror stories surrounding the mansion were being told by people in the city, but I had not known many of the details.

the Shed
There was only one rule: Don’t open the door... I should have listened. I was a girl, just shy of ten, who often stayed with my great-great aunt. She was an odd woman, with a cigarette either dangling from her pruned lips or held carelessly in her left hand. Her house always smelled faintly of cigarettes and the solid stink of Dog. My mother left me with her regularly, and yet my aunt would always escort me outside.

Whether it’s the chill that creeps down your spine or a strange moment you can’t quite explain, these experiences leave behind more questions than answers. The idea of ghosts feels like it brushes up against something we can’t fully grasp. And if there’s truth to them, what does the Bible have to say? How do these encounters align with Scripture’s teachings about life, death, and the afterlife?

The Assignment
“There was only one rule: don’t open the door,” the clown in front of me grinned. Spinning around, there were dozens of clowns in the room, with only one door for an exit. The other clowns started chanting the same rule that the first one had whined.

Authors note: This is the original piece I wrote with the challenge 'Spooky Micro' in mind, I was only just under double the word limit, so had to do some serious editing to get it down to fit the microfiction challenge.
