They called it Ashmoor House—a place locals refused to speak of after nightfall.

Twenty years ago, something had gone wrong there. Everyone knew it, but no one dared to say exactly what. Some claimed it was an asylum; others, a war bunker. But when Eva and her three friends—Zaid, Mira, and Arjun—broke the padlock to explore it, all they saw was a place that looked abandoned and harmless.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iC5GlGqAt
The smell was the first clue. Acrid, metallic, clinging to their tongues like rust.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wkp9CbMqZ
They switched on their torches and stepped into the corridor, lined with peeling green paint and rooms whose doors were bolted shut. The darkness swallowed the beams of light.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVZBc5C5jX
“Let’s get to the central hall,” Zaid said. He was always the brave one.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4eyTd6u1O
They passed faded murals of people with no eyes. Strange symbols in what looked like dried brown paint spiraled across the walls. A scrawled message read:
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9EheoVfUn
> THE RED ROOM WILL TAKE WHAT IT IS OWED
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpitdg6n2m
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBaYC58IGu
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XOKPY4eWa
Mira shivered. “I don’t like this.”
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr7UGnmbn3
“Just keep moving,” Eva whispered.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl50px7FnG
They reached a heavy iron door with a slit in the center. Someone—or something—had nailed a plank across it. But the plank looked freshly broken.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ocMmt8VXS
Arjun stepped forward. “Hello?”
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuYOYhlRR3
From the darkness inside, a scratching noise began. Slow, deliberate, like nails dragged across a stone floor.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOpkgliKZK
And then a voice. Low, rasping, as if it came from a throat torn open:
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrMSjVxnI3
> Come in. Come in and see.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPkLMEX1EH
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtMBMrbcao
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXINoPF8WG
Zaid swung the door wide.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI8xRRgKAU
Inside, the floor was covered with black stains. Chains bolted into the walls rattled as if unseen hands still tugged them.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoWTtLgl1q
A tall wooden chair stood in the center, with leather straps dangling from the arms. Something had been restrained here—and judging by the deep scratches in the floor, it had fought to escape.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS80uPTWO9
Mira turned to leave, but the door slammed shut behind them with a shriek of iron.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFpSSbMX7o
In the flickering torchlight, shadows in the corners began to move. Slowly at first. Then faster.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAv7W9KT9a
Eva felt something brush her ankle. She looked down to see a severed hand, mottled and gray, crawling toward her.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4Rg1Zn22h
Zaid drew the small pistol he’d hidden in his coat. He fired a shot at the hand. It jerked back—then lunged forward again, stronger, more determined.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaGaANWXFH
Around them, dozens of figures began to emerge from the walls. Some were only silhouettes. Others had faces so mutilated they hardly looked human. They whispered in ragged voices:
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4pMC609NL
> You shouldn’t be here. You shouldn’t be here.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5iF0DabvY
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRrDD6zPKL
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkXs14kyny
Mira screamed as something yanked her hair and dragged her across the floor.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kzGVhBBLF
Arjun swung a broken metal pipe, striking empty air. The shadows passed through the blow, then re-formed, reaching with arms that ended in black claws.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMFWJlaDrl
Eva felt cold hands on her shoulders. The darkness pressed in, a solid weight, as the same voice hissed in her ear:
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUcJoBAy93
> The Red Room takes what it is owed. Your bodies. Your screams.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJhI7XhD12
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX2oW5hiCV
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLupZCFyUO
She raised her torch to the chair. For one horrible moment, she saw it was occupied. A figure bound in leather straps, face hidden by a stained sack, jerking against the restraints in a silent, endless struggle.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb3HL0RYCo
And then she realized: the thing wasn’t bound anymore.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE2NthKn57
The sack lifted. Two eyes, pale and lidless, stared into hers.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94m04ehr1K
> It’s time to join us.
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE1mesMX2E
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlxQO2Yhg5
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTcH2HqHsl
Eva’s mind tore in two as the darkness swallowed her scream.
