The Otherworldly Journal

And then, my legs started sprinting towards the nearest alley, because if I didn't, I knew I was going to scream right here.

Not realising how much I had run, I found myself in another one of these confusing alleyways.

This one seemed way more alienated than the other ones though. It was such that I was the only one in this whole street. 

Right then, I found a stand-alone shop beside me.

Above the entrance, a faded wooden sign creaked in the wind, its letters nearly erased by time.

I pushed open the door.

A small bell chimed as I stepped inside.

The scent of dust, and something faintly metallic filled my nose.

The shop was dimly lit with some rustic lamps and candles.

Taking a short look around the place to see if this shop was worth my time, I realised that every single item stacked here looked eerie and mysterious.
