**"The Smiling Man: Whispers of Blood in the Darkness"**
**Location:** *Manera Estate, Transylvania, Romania*
**Time:** *Halloween Night, October 31, 1897*

### **Prologue (Sinister Poem):**
*"When clocks strike twelve, and wind sings a forgotten tune...
Know that he has come—
The one whose smile hides your doom."*
---
### **Chapter 1: The Cursed Estate**
The Manera Estate—a decaying mansion rumored to be the hunting ground of **"The Smiling Man."** Locals whispered that this place was **the Devil's chapel**, where he slaughtered his victims **with laughter still on their lips.**
On Halloween night, five reckless souls—**Victor, Elena, Damian, Isabel,** and **Leon**—ventured inside. They found an old diary with an entry:
*"He is always watching... and always smiling."*
Suddenly, **blood began oozing from the walls.**
---
### **Chapter 2: The First Whisper**
Elena heard **a voice softly calling her name.**
"Who’s there?" she trembled.
A **child’s giggle** echoed in reply.
Damian swung his lantern—revealing **a man hanging upside-down from the ceiling**, his **mouth stretched impossibly wide**, as if **forced to smile.**
*"Who invited you to my party?"*
Then, the light died.

### **Chapter 3: The Mirror of Souls**
Victor spotted a **shattered mirror** scrawled in blood:
**"YOUR FACE WILL BE MINE."**
When he touched it, **his reflection grinned back**—but it **was no longer him.**
*"I’ll take your eyes..."*
**Black hands** erupted from the glass and dragged him in.

### **Chapter 4: The Funeral of Laughter**
One by one, they vanished:
- **Damian** was seized by a **long, twisted finger**. His screams **morphed into laughter** before silencing forever.
- **Isabel** watched **her shadow smile on its own**. Then it **strangled her.**
- **Leon** came face-to-face with **The Smiling Man**—**Isabel’s eyes wedged between his teeth.**
*"You’re next, friend..."*

### **Chapter 5: Elena’s End**
Elena was alone. She fled to the **basement**, where **hundreds of grinning faces lined the walls.**
Behind her, **a breath hissed.**
*"Shhh... Don’t fear. I’ll make you happy forever."*
With a jerk, **Elena’s face split apart**, her smile **stretching unnaturally wide.**
**Newspaper clipping (November 1, 1897):**
*"Five bodies found at Manera Estate. All bore identical smiles... As if they’d laughed death itself in the face."*
That night, a **priest** saw a **man standing at the gates**—**smiling too widely.**
"Who are you?" demanded the priest.
The man whispered:
*"I am what hides behind your eyes... And I’ll take your smile too."*
By dawn, the **priest’s corpse** lay at the church doors—**his lips sewn shut, his eyes hollowed out.**
---
### **THE END.**
*(Have you ever heard a smile in the dark? Because if you have... It wasn’t yours.)* 😈
