Eldrith Manor By Leigh Rivers

ONE GHOST. ONE DEMON. ONE HAUNTED MANOR.

The Ghost

What happens when someone accidentally summons a demon? They die and become a ghost.

I didn’t believe in Heaven or Hell. I thought the pain would stop, and I’d taste sweet oblivion. But I was wrong. Hell does exist. It’s not just a place, but a person too.

His name is Lynx.

Night after night, day after day, I try to escape and break free of the cage I’ve been damned into. I can’t hide from him, and he can’t outrun me. I’m trapped in the manor with the monster who killed me.

The Demon

Be careful who you steal from. They might just come for your soul.

They called me a sinner, then stuck a blade through my heart and cursed my soul to an eternity in flames, turning me into the demon they claimed I was.

For centuries, I suffered and screamed. Made other souls wish they were never born. It was an endless cycle I couldn’t break until one day, she called me forward. A little human who played with someone else’s toys.

I thought I could get rid of her, but I was wrong. I can’t escape her no matter what I do.

At least, I know one thing for certain. Sable looks pretty for a dead thing.
