CHARLESTON

Charleston, in the state of South Carolina, is a charming and picturesque city. Its cobblestone streets and ancient mansions tell stories of centuries past. But behind its tranquil and welcoming appearance, there are hidden secrets and unexplained mysteries that few know and have given rise to chilling stories that have been passed down from generation to generation.

Lately, Charleston residents have witnessed strange events that defy all logic, from mysterious lights in the night sky to ghostly figures wandering the streets in the dark. But that's not all.

Some locals say that the current events are a consequence of secret societies that have been operating in the city for centuries, performing dark and macabre rituals in the name of unknown forces. Others speak of terrifying creatures lurking in the nearby swamps, waiting for their next victim.

And yet, despite all these stories and rumors, most Charleston residents prefer to keep the secrets of their city silent, fearful of the consequences of unearthing the dark and sinister past of their home.

But in this book, some of Charleston's hidden secrets will finally be revealed. As the stories unfold, readers will be taken on a journey filled with mystery and suspense, discovering the truth behind the secrets that have been kept hidden. Prepare to uncover the unimaginable, because in Charleston, things are not always as they seem.

THE SPIRAL

I entered my apartment, weary after a long day of work. I opened the door to find a dark, lifeless atmosphere. Hastily, I flung open the windows to let in some light and fresh air. As I did so, I noticed a reflection on the dining table and saw a letter with my name on it. I picked it up and began to read.

"Jasper,

I know this letter will come as a surprise to you, and it may cause you pain, but I need you to understand that this is what's best for me right now. I'm moving in with my mom because I can't bear living like this any longer.

I feel like I barely know you, and that has contributed to my feeling insecure in our relationship. You scare me, and I don't know how to cope with that. I don't blame you; I simply need space to figure out my feelings.

I hope you find the peace you need. Even though we haven't been able to build a strong relationship together, I'll always cherish the moments we've shared. I wish you the best.

Please don't look for me anymore. I need time and space to heal and find my way. I hope you can respect my decision and let me move on. Susan."

For a moment, I felt devastated by the news that Susan had left. But then I began to think that perhaps this was for the best for both of us. Our relationship was toxic, and we needed time apart to clear our minds.

In truth, I have always considered myself a solitary man, wrapped in a cloak of apathy that seemed to accompany me throughout my life. After that letter, the days passed in monotony, without much enthusiasm for what surrounded me, and my existence was reduced to a series of insignificant events devoid of intense emotions.

I never imagined that my destiny would lead me down such a dark and terrifying path as the one I now tread.

In the past, I used to think that my biggest problem was the inability to establish deep and meaningful connections with the people around me. I often found myself engulfed in silence, watching from a distance as others laughed, shared, and embraced, while I remained in a corner, unable to become part of that world full of life and emotions.

In the midst of that loneliness and detachment, there was only one person I could call a friend: Mikel. I admit that our relationship wasn't perfect, but it was the closest thing I had to an authentic human bond at that time.

I felt empathy for him, we shared conversations and moments together, but I always had the feeling that, although Mikel was an important friend to me, to him I was merely an acquaintance in his life.

My appearance was not particularly striking: a man of average height, dark hair, and common facial features that easily went unnoticed in a crowd. However, there was something in my eyes, a lost and melancholic gaze, that reflected the abyss of loneliness that lived within me. That loneliness, which I initially believed to be harmless, became the gateway for the shadows lurking deep within my being.

Over time, my isolation intensified. Life went on, but I remained stagnant, like a ship adrift in a sea of indifference. It was then that, without warning, a deep voice began to infiltrate my mind, revealing a darkness and a terrifying destiny that I could have never imagined.

It was about a couple of months ago when my life took an unexpected and sinister turn. I began to hear a voice in my head. At first, I thought it was just my imagination, but the voice persisted, like a gentle breeze whispering in my ear at the most unexpected moments.

It was a dark and sinister voice, as if coming from the depths of an endless abyss. Sometimes its words were barely audible, but on other occasions, its tone became sharp and piercing, penetrating my mind as if it were a needle.

The voice seemed to have a life of its own, speaking incessantly, even when I tried to ignore it. It whispered terrible things, dark thoughts, and horrible desires that were not my own. Each time the voice grew louder, I felt as if I was losing control of my own mind.

As the days went by, those incomprehensible murmurs became clearer and more coherent, taking on an increasingly insistent tone. The voice was no longer mere whispers in the dark but had turned into an unwelcome companion that accompanied me at all hours, tormenting me with its constant presence and words laden with dark intent.

That's when the voice began to make chilling requests, demanding acts that I would have never considered in my life. At first, I tried to ignore them, to convince myself that they were nothing more than the product of my overactive imagination or the result of the loneliness I had cultivated over the years and especially with Susan's abandonment. However, no matter how hard I tried to reject them, the voice clung to me with unrelenting force, demanding my attention and obedience.

In the dead of night, when darkness loomed over the world and stillness took hold of my room, the
