Nightmare Mansion: Shadows of the Forgotten

By: Matthew Petchinsky

Chapter 1: The Dare

In the small, unassuming town of Grayridge, tales of the Nightmare Mansion perched on the hill had haunted the dreams of its residents for generations. Known as a place where shadows whispered and walls moaned, the mansion had claimed many lives, its dark lore growing with each whispered story. It was the setting of numerous unexplained deaths, most recently the grim fates of characters from the first two books in the series. These tragedies seemed to have only strengthened the malignant aura surrounding the decrepit estate, making it a place of morbid fascination for thrill-seekers and daredevils alike.

On a chilly evening, a group of friends gathered around the flickering flames of a campfire, the eerie glow casting dancing shadows on their faces. The group consisted of Stephan, Ashley, Darek, Lapis, and Midian, each distinct in their motivations and personalities, yet bound by their adventurous spirits.

Stephan, the de facto leader of the group, was known for his rational mind and calm demeanor. He had a natural charisma that drew others to him, making him a unifying force within the group. Despite his logical approach to life, Stephan held a deep-seated fascination with the supernatural, driven by a desire to debunk myths or perhaps confirm his secret fear of their truths.

Ashley was the skeptic of the group. She had a sharp, analytical mind and approached every situation with a critical eye. Her motivation was rooted in proving that fears could be conquered logically, that every so-called supernatural occurrence had a reasonable explanation. Ashley's bravery was not born out of a love for the thrill but from her need to face and overcome her own doubts.

Darek, the thrill-seeker, thrived on adrenaline. His motivation was the pursuit of excitement, the more dangerous, the better. With an infectious energy and a penchant for trouble, Darek often found himself at the center of the group’s most audacious plans. His fearlessness was both a strength and a vulnerability, often leading him into situations that tested the limits of his bravery.

Lapis, the newest member of their circle, was mysterious and introspective. She had an almost eerie calmness about her and a keen sensitivity to the energies around her. Her background was a tapestry of travel and exposure to various cultures’ esoteric practices, which she often referenced in quiet, thoughtful observations. Lapis’s motivation seemed to be a deep, personal journey—perhaps to understand the supernatural forces she believed were at play in the world.

Midian was the heart of the group. With a boundless empathy and a soft spot for any creature, human or animal, in distress, Midian often acted as the moral compass. He was driven by a quest for spiritual understanding, viewing their adventures as a means to witness the tangible manifestations of otherworldly entities.

As the night deepened and the stars blinked overhead, the group’s banter slowed, and a daring proposition took shape. Encouraged by the tales of those who ventured into the Nightmare Mansion before them—tales that ended in tragedy or unsolvable mystery—the friends dared each other to spend a night within its dreaded walls. They knew the history well; the mansion seemed to grow stronger with each soul it claimed, feeding on fear and despair.

Imagine what secrets it holds, Stephan mused, his voice tinged with a mix of excitement and apprehension.

Ashley rolled her eyes but the hint of a smile tugged at her lips. It’s just a house, she countered. Old and creepy, yes, but it's the stories that give it power over us.

Darek’s eyes gleamed with mischief. Then it shouldn’t be a problem to prove it’s just a bunch of stories, right? One night. We go at midnight.

Lapis nodded slowly, her expression unreadable. "There’s energy there, whether from the stories or something... more. It would be interesting to see what lies beneath the
