Episode 4

......................

After seeing her picture in the wooden box, Catherine was scared. I looked inside to see if there were any other photos too. But, I could not find any. After that we found a paper which had some words written on it.

As I showed that paper to her, we teleported into a world, In there we saw a figure, which was probably the one in that nightmare. He said his name was Manta.

After, talking with him for a while, we learned that the house isn't real. However, some people can see this house for unknown reasons. Those who see this house, when see the paper that was in the basement, travel into this world. They have some connection to this world.

After Learning all of this, I asked if there was a way to go back.

"Once you travel to this world, you cannot go back" Manta said.

He then Left us alone, I saw Catherine searching for a way out. I started searching too. There, I saw another paper.

It read 'Death : 5 Days'.

I was scared after reading it. Catherine found a similar paper, But her's read 'Death : 2 Days'.

We didn't know what could possible cause our deaths, but we knew when we will die.

After 2 days, Catherine, who was scared since she was going to die today, was sitting alone.

I looked at my paper, '3 days' was the time I had left.

When I turned back, Catherine wasn't there...

I looked at her paper, 'Dead' was written on it...

I Threw away the paper in horror. She was here a minute ago, and know she's dead. And I will die too after 3 days.

I spent that day thinking about how I can avoid my own death. If Manta was there, maybe I could ask him for further information, so I waited for him. But I soon Realised that he was not coming back.

I was stuck in darkness for 3 days, only to die at the last day. I wonder what would have happened If I have not taken this road to go home, or if I stayed at my friend's house for that day, maybe all this could've been avoided.

I have only met Catherine a few days ago but I still feel sad for her death. She was suffering from the same curse as me...

After That day, having 2 days left to live, I started searching for a way out, knowing it was futile, I knew there was no way I could avoid Death. But I still searched it. Only to find nothing, I wasted my precious time on such useless thing. I only have a few days left to live now..

It's the last day today.

The Paper is slowing Rearranging the words to 'Dead'.

I realise the horror she must have felt when she saw this happening in her paper....
