creepy horror psychological psychologicalhorror scary short shortstory

From the warmth of her London home, Lyla tells her story: of finding a nightmarish relic that sends her mind spiralling; of unravelling the mystery of a monster of nature; and of racing to discover the fates of those who've come before her before time runs out.

Even during tough periods and periods of wanting to work on other material, I was determined to atleast complete this story to 'test the waters' of handling a completed, fully polished, fully formatted book for a change. I hope you find it somewhat entertaining, and I hope to have stories with a bit more humour, action and drama coming next if you found the tone of this one quite serious.All Rights Reserved

{Her innocence was taken. Her innocence was lost. Lylibeth Adams became something else. Something else that is meant for vengeance.} In the quiet depths of her mind, a storm raged. A tempest of emotions that she couldn't quite understand or control. It was as if a part of her was missing, a piece of her soul that had been torn away by some unknown force. Like someone had clawed inside her and ripped away her soul. And yet, she couldn't quite remember what happened. All she knew was the pain that lingered and an ache that never quite went away. An ache that broke her mentally and physically. It tore away her innocence with something long, hard, and musty. Lylibeth, a child who mysteriously vanished along with two other kids on a cold November and was found days later on the side of a road, has recently returned to her hometown. With broken and ill-paced thoughts, she slowly succumbs to vague memories, unexplainable events, and incomprehensible actions. As she struggles to piece together what is happening to her. What had happened to her and what will happen to her, a secret kept for years makes itself known. A monstrous secret that people around her would keep hidden, even if it cost their lives.
