The rain hasn't stopped in days.
Inside the decaying Grayson Estate, time seems to rot with the walls. Whispers move through the halls. Shadows linger too long. And the greenhouse-long sealed and overgrown-waits beneath the stormlight, pulsing with something almost alive.
He came here for solitude.
What he found were strange companions, flickering memories, and a letter he doesn't remember writing.
As sleep slips further from reach, and the house begins to murmur in a voice, he's faced with a choice: uncover what lies buried beneath vine and silence... or lose himself to it.
Some places aren't haunted.
They're hungry.

The House on Hawthorn Drive
Four friends. One secluded Victorian house. A five-day vacation that becomes a fight for survival. This is the premise of "Hawthorn Drive," a psychological thriller that delves into the depths of female friendships tested by the uncanny and the lingering shadows of trauma. Ellie, our protagonist, arrives at the seemingly idyllic Hawthorn Drive with a sense of unease that quickly escalates into full-blown paranoia. The house itself breathes an unsettling stillness; its decaying architecture and cryptic details foreshadow the horrors that await. As strange occurrences multiply-mysterious objects appear, whispers echo from the walls, and the friendly neighbors reveal a chillingly intrusive nature-Ellie's growing fear is dismissed by her friends, adding a layer of psychological tension to the supernatural horror. The narrative unfolds through Ellie's increasingly unreliable perspective, reflecting the blurring lines between reality and hallucination as the supernatural entity begins to exert its influence. What begins as a relaxing getaway quickly transforms into a desperate battle for survival as the friends uncover a dark history connected to a forgotten cult, and learn that one of them is inextricably linked to the house's sinister past.Complete

A usual night befalls, revealing the silvery light of the moon. Under the moon light, the house which had caught the eyes of quite a number of tenants in daytime stands silently on a land where the soil holds gore and the flowers bloom with blood tainted roots. A house where a harmless shadow might become the shadow of the devil itself. Stained with blood, the door hides a heinous and dark truth that is unknown to the human existence. No! Don't mistake the silence of this house as peace, for death doesn't come aloud. *** Some might find atheistic ideas in between so i just hope they're ignored as i don't intend to imply anything through the story.
