The Golden Bell

In the heart of the city's forgotten silence, a small boy stepped into a

realm where shadows danced. Every creak and whisper of the old structure amplified

the growing sense of dread around him. The house itself seemed to breathe,

its ancient bones protesting each fragile step taken within. He paused, every fiber of

his being straining, certain he was no longer truly alone. Amidst the ruin,

a glimmer caught his eye, an anomaly in the overwhelming darkness. A golden bell,

silent, yet its presence screamed a warning he could not comprehend.
