In the middle of nowhere, surrounded by empty landscapes that time had forgotten, there stood a big old mansion. It had seen better days, with its faded colours and worn-out appearance. The windows looked sad, like they were longing for something. The peeling wallpaper on the walls seemed to whisper secrets from the past. Every creak of the wooden floors carried the weight of countless stories, as if the house itself was alive. It was a place that only the bravest souls dared to explore.
I entered the mansion's grand entrance with a mix of awe and anticipation. A distant relative had asked me to take care of the place for the summer. It was a welcome escape from the chaos of the modern world, a chance to disconnect from social media and a fast-paced city life. I wanted to find peace and quiet in this forgotten sanctuary, surrounded by books and free from distractions. As I closed the doors behind me, I made a promise to myself to embrace the simplicity of the old house and enjoy its timeless charm. It was time to relax, reflect, and get lost in the pages of countless stories.

Days turned into weeks as I lived within the mansion's walls. Time seemed to have a different rhythm in this secluded realm. Each day was marked by reading, basking in the sunlight that filtered through the old windows, and watching shadows dance as the evening approached. Sometimes, though, the tranquillity was interrupted by strange moments. I would misplace things and find them in odd places. At night, mysterious sounds echoed through the house, whispering secrets that I couldn't understand. But despite these odd occurrences, I felt comfort and familiarity in the house. It had become my refuge, a place where I could escape from the world and immerse myself in stories.
As the nights went on, an eerie chill filled the house, making even warm summer evenings feel cold. I would wrap myself in blankets, trying to stay warm, but the temperature inside the house would suddenly become unbearably hot when the sun was out. It was a strange paradox that left me puzzled and on edge. The house seemed to rebel against the idea of comfort, always keeping me guessing.
One night, I was jolted awake by loud thumps coming from different parts of the house. Determined to find the source of the disturbance, I ventured into the dimly lit corridors. The old floorboards protested under my weight as I searched for the origin of the noise. The thumps were loud and unnerving, but I couldn't figure out where they were coming from. Hours passed, filled with anticipation and growing unease, until finally, as dawn approached, the unsettling sounds stopped. Unable to explain their origin, I slept most of the next day.
Frustration pushed me to explore deeper into the old house. I discovered countless rooms, but they were disappointingly empty and lacked any intrigue. The echoes of my footsteps mocked my search for answers, and the empty spaces offered no solace. Still, I pressed on.
Undeterred by the underwhelming discoveries on the lower floors, I reached the attic, the final place to explore. I opened the creaking hatch and entered the dusty space above. Neglect hung heavy in the air, as if time had forgotten this place. Cobwebs covered the corners, and the muted sunlight created an eerie atmosphere. My heart skipped a beat.
The attic floor and walls were covered in demonic patterns. They looked sinister, like something out of a nightmare. Twisted shapes and strange symbols filled the space. I couldn't tell if they were painted or etched, but they seemed to be the work of a deranged mind. It felt like they had a life of their own, as if they were taunting me to uncover their purpose.
Fear gripped me as I realised that the disturbances and strange happenings in the house were not ordinary. Something dark and sinister was at play.
In the corner of the room, amidst the chaos of the demonic patterns, I found an abandoned book. I approached it cautiously, feeling a strange connection. It was an old journal filled with faded ink and the thoughts of my distant relative. As I read through its pages, I discovered a shocking truth. The demonic patterns were not a summoning, but a desperate attempt to keep something evil from breaking free into our world.
