The chill in the air was almost tangible. Each groan of the old house sent jolts down my spine. I held my torch tighter, its beam piercing through the darkness. The legends whispered of apparitions that haunted these halls, and I was determined to experience them for myself. A rustle in the void sent a wave of anticipation through me. Was it just the wind, or something more? I moved forward, my heart thumping with a mixture of curiosity.

A fall into Dust

With each passing moment, the light dims. The world changes, surrendering to the beauty of the night.
