Nightmare.

The little boy watched in horror as his mother was brutally murdered before his innocent eyes. In her last moments, she could only scream at him to run away while his father, possessed by an insane rage, tried to catch him.

The boy narrowly escaped, leaving behind the chilling scene of his mother's dismembered body.

When the police arrived, alerted by neighbours, they found only an ominous trail of blood throughout the house. But the woman's body was completely gone, as if her psychopathic husband had made it disappear to erase the evidence of his heinous crime.

Two nights later, the horror deepened when the killer was found in a secluded boarding house. He lay dead, his eyes gouged out and deep lacerations covering his naked body. His expression frozen in a heart-rending scream of sheer horror.

Most horrifying was the forensic analysis: among his blood, there were traces of the blood of his murdered wife, whose body remained unaccounted for. As if an evil presence had dragged her soul to the same hell as her husband.

The police never found a logical explanation. Only the little orphan, traumatised, babbled about the dark shadows that had haunted him since that fateful night.

Dark, red-eyed silhouettes that tormented him in his dreams, evil entities that seemed to have claimed the souls of his parents.

Perhaps the boy was the only witness that some supernatural forces are better left forgotten. For in unleashing the most primitive madness and violence, what emerges from the shadows can be worse than our worst nightmare.
