Mature
Datum is the story of an alien consciousness landing in a small British town in the 1980s. Told over one day, the story is narrated by the first victim, or the only survivor.

I've rated my story mature due to some graphic violence, however please don't be put off as I've placed a warning before the most graphic chapter for any sensitive readers.

Please don't hesitate to leave any feedback, and don't forget to vote if you enjoy it.

Legends say that the village is cursed, haunted by vengeful spirits bound to the land since the tragic events of a forgotten past. The story follows Lily Dawson, a young journalist with a knack for the supernatural, who arrives in Hollow Creek to investigate these eerie tales for her latest article.

However, as night falls, she begins to hear chilling whispers echoing through the tree line outside her window, coaxing her to uncover secrets buried long ago. Determined to find the source of these whispers, Lily teams up with an enigmatic local historian, Ethan, who believes that unlocking the past is the only way to quell the unrest. Together, they delve into the village's history, uncovering stories of a massacre that took place centuries ago during a ritual gone wrong. Each revelation brings them closer to the heart of the curse and the spirits trapped within. Amidst mounting fear and escalating supernatural occurrences, Lily and Ethan realize they must perform a dangerous ritual to appease the spirits and lift the curse. As they race against time, they battle both the sinister forces of the supernatural and the skepticism of the villagers who are unwilling to confront their past. In a spine-chilling climax set during a storm-laden night, Lily must face the ultimate test of courage and faith, as the boundary between the living and the dead blurs, threatening to engulf the village in shadow forever. It's a harrowing tale of uncovering darkness, confronting fears, and the unrelenting whisper of unseen forces that haunt the haunted.
