Story 155: The Forest's Curse
In the heart of the misty forest, where the trees whispered secrets and shadows danced, a creature prowled. Its eyes glowed red, and its fangs gleamed in the moonlight. The villagers spoke of it in hushed tones, calling it the Forest's Curse.
One night, a young man named Arif ventured into the forest, determined to prove the legends wrong. As he walked deeper, the air grew colder, and the silence became deafening. Suddenly, a growl echoed through the trees. Arif turned to see the creature leaping towards him, its claws outstretched.
He ran, heart pounding, but the creature was fast. It chased him through the forest, its breath hot on his neck. Just as it was about to pounce, Arif tripped and fell. He looked up to see the creature towering over him, its eyes filled with hunger.
