La Casa Verde
182
La Casa Verde loomed in the heavy mist of Banos, its peeling green paint whispering secrets to the wind, where shadows danced in every flickering light and cold spots gnawed at the skin like icy fingers tracing the walls. Guests spoke in hushed tones of spectral figures drifting through the narrow halls, their sorrowful eyes glinting with stories of the past, while unseen presences wrapped around them like a shroud, leaving only the echo of a breath behind. It wasn't just the legends that lingered, but an insidious awareness that something watched, waiting for the right moment to slip into the waking world once more.
