Prologue
People don’t always believe.
People carry terrible experiences.
And yet, when they finally try to tell someone...
They’re often told they’re making it up.
That they’re only looking for pity.
So they carry that trauma.
In silence.
In this book,
I write today
that all that burden is finally laid down.
Every chapter is one story told.
One story lifted from someone’s shoulders.
For everyone to read.
For everyone to understand.
What others have been through.
What others have seen.
What others have felt.
The goosebumps they carried.
The fear they couldn’t explain.
At the beginning of each chapter, you’ll notice a series of dots.
Those dots are simply a warning.
The more dots there are,
the more unsettling that story may be.
I must remind you of one thing.
These are real stories.
No full names have been included.
No exact addresses have been mentioned.
No details that could reveal who experienced them.
That is simply to protect the people who trusted me with their stories.
To keep them safe.
So I kindly ask
Please don’t try to figure out whose story you’re reading.
There are no names.
No dates.
No clues meant to be solved.
This book exists to bring mystery to those who seek it.
To bring chills.
Or perhaps...
To remind you what the world can truly be like.
Dangerous.
Now that we’ve settled that...
I hope you enjoy what’s ahead.
Each story is told from the first-person perspective of the one who lived it.
Welcome.
This is the Untitled Mystery.
A collection for you
to discover
what truly lurks
just outside your little bubble.
Me?
Who am I?
I’m merely the narrator.
The one who will keep you company along the way.
And if things become a little too frightening...
I’ll probably interrupt with a comment.
Maybe in the middle of a chapter.
Maybe at the end.
Just to give you a moment to breathe.
My thoughts will be in bolded letter.
Like this.
Once again...
Welcome.
*once again as my lovely narrator said, these chapters may include blood, scary scenes, or murder. there might be some cuss words in some chapters which I will put a little reminder about. now once we got everything covered... enjoy the thrill.
I've been trying to comment on this multiple times, so I hope it pushes through this time around. Anyway, I really love the way you wrote the intro/prologue. The suspense and spookiness are really there. Gave me the chills last night when I read it. Looking forward to reading the rest.
