The Inn of the Five Graces
415
The Inn of the Five Graces stood like a weary sentinel, its adobe walls whispering secrets of the 19th century, where shadowy figures flickered in the peripheral vision of guests, their icy breaths lingering like a shiver on the nape of the neck. At night, the floorboards creaked under a weight unseen, and the unsettling sensation of being watched tightened in the air, making each heartbeat feel like a drum summoning the damned. It was said that those who dared to close their eyes were often met with the soft, sinister laughter of the lost, a haunting lullaby that promised they would never truly be alone.
