Hunted House
By @James mark Porras
Elara Vance, an urban explorer with an unshakeable need to prove her worth to her estranged, skeptical family, stumbles upon the fabled Blackwood Manor - a place whispered to be a nexus of restless spirits. Armed with an ancient, cursed camera that doesn't just capture images but *traps* spectral entities, she believes she's found her ticket to validation and fame. However, the camera's power comes at a terrifying cost, slowly draining her life force with each spirit captured. As the manor's malevolent presence begins to ripple outwards, threatening the very fabric of her city, Elara must choose: sacrifice herself to imprison the encroaching darkness, or succumb to its whispers and become just another ghostly inhabitant of the Hunted House. The line between hunter and hunted blurs with every click.
