“If you dare nothing, then when the day is over, nothing is all you will have gained.”
His friend’s words reverberated in his ears, as Sam visited the graveyard at midnight, as a part of his dare.
Shivering, Sam neared a tombstone to collect an iron plate to show it as a proof. As he upturned it, he was taken aback to see his name engraved on it. What shocked him even more was the mention of that day’s date there.
As the clock struck twelve, with a small creak, a door opened, through which a hand came out, taking him in.
