Ghostly Obsession
Chapter 1: The New House, The New Trouble
"This house is not haunted at all! Absolutely not!" the landlord said with a nervous laugh.
Ayaan looked up at his new home—a grand but eerily quiet old mansion. The doors creaked on their own, the windows were covered in a thick layer of dust, and a strange chill seemed to be coming from inside.
"I was expecting a nice, modern apartment… but this looks straight out of a horror movie," Ayaan muttered under his breath.
The landlord cleared his throat. "Ah, well, it's got… character! Very spacious, old-world charm, you know. And the price is the best you'll get in this city."
Ayaan narrowed his eyes. "Why is it so cheap, though?"
The landlord’s nervous smile widened. "Uh… the previous owners had to leave suddenly. Personal reasons. Nothing to do with, um, ghosts or anything."
Ayaan sighed. He didn’t believe in ghosts. What he did believe in was saving money. And this house was an absolute steal.
"Fine," he said, grabbing the keys. "I'll take it."
First Night: Who Ordered a Ghost?
After a long day of shifting his stuff in, Ayaan collapsed onto the couch. The house was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of quiet that made you feel like someone was watching you.
"Nah," he muttered to himself. "I'm just tired."
Just as he was about to drift off to sleep—
CRASH!
A sudden noise from the kitchen made him jump. Ayaan grabbed his phone, turned on the flashlight, and walked in cautiously.
The kitchen was empty… except for a broken cup on the floor. He frowned. "Did I leave it near the edge?"
He bent down to pick up the pieces.
"You're in my house."
A voice, smooth yet chilling, echoed behind him.
Ayaan spun around so fast he almost tripped. But there was no one there.
His heart pounded. "Okay. Either I’m officially sleep-deprived, or I just got my first ghostly encounter."
And then—
A figure stepped out of the shadows.
A tall, slender man, dressed in black, with an unnervingly beautiful face. His pale skin seemed to glow faintly under the moonlight. His eyes—dark, deep, and unreadable—locked onto Ayaan’s.
Ayaan blinked. Then blinked again.
"Whoa," he muttered. "If this is a ghost, he’s way too attractive for his own good."
The ghost tilted his head. "You're not screaming."
Ayaan crossed his arms. "Should I? You’re standing dramatically in the moonlight like some lost vampire prince. If you wanted to scare me, maybe try floating or making creepy noises?"
The ghost's lips twitched as if he was amused. "You’re strange."
"And you’re dead. So we both have our problems."
The ghost stared at him for a moment before whispering, "You shouldn’t be here."
Ayaan frowned. "Why?"
The ghost’s expression darkened. "Because this house has secrets. And if you stay, they will consume you too."
Ayaan gulped. "…Well, crap."
