The Beast Unknown (compiled by Bhavika Agarwal)

A house not haunted by flickering lights or spectral falling chairs, but by dark sprayed-painted letters ‘scum family’ and stone shattered windows. It wasn’t haunted by ghosts, just two people trying to live their lives as before. They grieved for their dead daughter. The whole town blamed their daughter for awakening of the deadliest creature after hundreds or thousands of years. On 18th November 2018 her friends - the three she always known had come down to her hometown to meet her. The night they reached they and Tina (daughter) were strolling in the forest and over the abandoned bridge when Tina told them about the ancient myth her town people believed about this bridge. Her nosey friends thought of performing the rituals to verify the authenticity of the myth. Dany picked up the broken glass bottle from the side of the road and held it at the ledge and started dragging the broken bottle across the ledge making a creepy screeching sound.

The others started shouting at Dany to stop this when they heard a strange voice from other end of the bridge. ‘Thump!’ ‘Thump!’ The sound reached their ears but when Tina slowly turned around to tell her friends to run, she saw she was alone on the bridge with no one behind her. She broke into a cold sweat, the sound increased and was it just behind her. Before she got a chance to speak the creature killed her. The next morning when police and her friends reached there, the only thing that was left on the bridge were some scattered bones and blood splashed all over. And from then started the unexplained trail of females disappearing all across the town every year which would happen on the same night Tina was murdered by some unknown force.
