The windows were being pounded by the strong gusts, causing them to sway back and forth, creating a creepy creaking sound. Suddenly, all the candles went out, plunging everything into pitch darkness. The sound of something hitting the bed board could be heard, as it began to rattle up and down, occasionally making a loud thud. At the foot of the bed, something was clearly moving. Soon, the sickly yellow hair came into view, slowly rising up, revealing long black nails and pale fingers that continuously scraped the ground, leaving behind trails of blood... The wounds were like thorns of a wild rose, with deep, red gashes and crescent-shaped marks embedded in the skin. "If there is a next life, I hope the person you meet first is me."
