The White Tower Hotel
267
The White Tower Hotel loomed over Thessaloniki like a watchful specter of the past, its ancient stones steeped in the whispers of forgotten lives. Guests felt the chill of unseen eyes tracing their every move, and late at night, the air thickened with the ghostly echoes of laughter and mourning, flickering just beyond the reach of sanity. Those who dared to linger too long by the tower's shadow spoke of pale figures gliding through the corridors, their soft, sorrowful whispers hinting at stories best left untold, as though the hotel itself conspired to ensnare them in its enduring, malevolent embrace.
