Preparations

WHEN her eyes flutter open, Selene finds herself standing in front of a gorgeous and familiar two-story whitewashed house built inside the heart of a small forest and in front of a sparkling emerald lake. She breathed in the nostalgic scent of fresh air and flowers, and at that moment, Selene knew she is dreaming. It's been years since she last set foot in this place, and the last time she saw the house, it was in shambles. Still, her heart pangs with longing.

Since the first time she laid eyes on her family's ancestral home, Selene had always loved it. Even though it is in a rural area, she likes that it is surrounded by a well-kept garden, vast expanse of a grass field, flower patches, and a beautiful lake. However, the home she loved since she was young became the very source of her nightmares. Though their time in that house was fleeting, it felt years for her. And those fleeting memories became haunting memoirs that were forever etched in her heart.
