A young man who loves to explore abandoned buildings on the territory of an abandoned manor saw a girl in a white summer dress and gloves who also likes to explore abandoned places the manor turned out to be untouched inside

The young man, named Alex, had always been captivated by the stories whispered about the old Holloway Manor. Its crumbling facade loomed on the edge of the overgrown forest, a place lost to time. Months of exploring abandoned sites had hardened him against the whispers of the past; he believed he had seen it all until he stepped through the heavy front doors of the manor one warm afternoon. As he wandered through the dust-covered halls, the sunlight streamed through the shattered windows, illuminating the peeling wallpaper and forgotten furniture. His heart raced with excitement; he couldn't believe how untouched everything seemed inside. It was as if the house was waiting for him to uncover its secrets. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of movement. He turned, and there she was—a girl in a flowing white summer dress, delicate gloves covering her hands. She appeared to glide rather than walk, her presence ethereal amidst the decay of the manor. Startled, Alex blinked, questioning if he was imagining things. "Hello," she said softly, her voice like the rustle of leaves. "I didn’t expect to see anyone else here." Alex, still taken aback, managed a smile. "I could say the same. I thought I was the only one who knew about this place." She walked closer, and he noticed the intricate details of her dress, the way it contrasted with the dust of the manor’s interior. "I love exploring places like this," she said, her eyes sparkling with adventure. "There's something magical about abandoned spaces, don’t you think?" "Definitely," Alex replied, intrigued. "I’ve been to a lot of abandoned buildings, but this one feels different. It’s as if it’s frozen in time." They began to wander through the grand hall, exchanging stories of their previous explorations, their excitement mingling in the air. She introduced herself as Clara, and they quickly found a rhythm in their conversation, like two old friends reuniting. As they moved deeper into the manor, Clara stumbled upon a hidden door at the end of a hallway, slightly ajar and covered in dust. "Look at this," she exclaimed, her curiosity piqued. "Should we check it out?" Alex nodded, feeling a thrilling rush as they pushed the door open. Inside was an old library, filled with countless books and an ancient chandelier hanging precariously from the ceiling. The air was thick with the smell of old paper and forgotten memories. As they explored the room, Clara's fingers brushed the spines of the books, revealing titles of history and lore, some seemingly untouched for decades. She pulled a small, dusty volume from the shelf, and as she opened it, a yellowed piece of paper fluttered out, landing softly on the floor. "What’s this?" Alex asked, picking it up. It was a letter, dated from the early 1900s, written in elegant script. They leaned closer together to read it: "My dearest Clara, I await you in the garden at twilight. The moon will guide you to me, my love..." The name echoed hauntingly in the air, and Clara's face went pale. "Clara... That’s my name." Alex felt a shiver run down his spine. "Do you think…?" Before he could finish, a sudden chill swept through the room, as if the manor itself had breathed deeply. The air thickened, and shadows danced across the walls, bending the light. Clara looked at Alex, her expression a mix of fear and wonder. "Maybe we shouldn’t linger here too long," she suggested, but her eyes sparkled with curiosity. They stood at the threshold of a mystery, teetering between the allure of exploration and the weight of the past that seemed to pull them in. Unsure of what they had uncovered, but undeniably drawn to it, Alex took Clara's hand. "Together?" he asked, feeling an unexplainable connection. "Together," she replied, a smile breaking through her apprehension as they stepped further into the heart of the manor, ready to unlock the secrets that had lain dormant for years.
