Once upon a ghostly night, Murphy, a curious cat, decided to venture into the reputed ‘Haunted Mansion’.
His cat friends warned him, “No one returns from there, Murphy!” But our brave feline was not to be deterred.
As he stepped into the musty mansion, a sudden chill ran down his spine. He saw shadowy figures dancing in the dim light, heard the creaking stairs and the eerie whispering of the wind. Murphy’s whiskers twitched in anxiety, but he pressed on.
He found himself in a room full of dusty cobwebs and out of nowhere, a phantasmal figure approached, grinning from ear to spectral ear. It was the mansion’s infamous ghost, Gusty!
In a trembling voice, Murphy asked, “Why do you scare everyone away, Gusty?”
Gusty replied, “Scaring is what I enjoy the most, it’s just my way to host!”
To everyone’s surprise, Murphy wasn’t scared. In fact, he started visiting the mansion regularly, becoming the only one not frightened, the exceptional guest to Gusty’s spooky jest.
From that Halloween night, the story goes around – It isn’t the ghost that’s scary, it’s the fear we carry around.
