Around fifteen minutes later, the ferry trip eventually came to an end. Garvin, who had been miserable throughout the journey, finally set foot on Block Island with Sebastian.After arriving on the island, he had thought he would hear a voice that kept calling his name, sadly, like in his dream, but after seeing that everything was normal, and the island had a beautiful environment and fresh air, he gradually became more and more relaxed about everything."Hey Garvin, this way, this way." As soon as the two of them dragged their suitcases out of the dock gate, they heard a clear and gentle voice.Garvin turned his head and saw his cousin Lindsey, who had made an appointment on the phone yesterday to pick them up at the pier, waving to them not far away."Wow, what a beautiful girl." When Sebastian saw Lindsey, he was like a weasel seeing a chicken. His eyes were glowing brightly. "Garvin, I didn't know you have such a lovely angel in your family."Garvin immediately threatened in a lo
That day was the first time Garvin met his legendary grandmother.Needless to say, for Garvin's mother, her mother from Block Island was definitely not someone who could make her happy.Grandma was also very self-aware, so she had not come to visit her daughter in all these years. (This period included the two key moments of his parents' marriage and Garvin's own birth). When she now came, it was because she was desperate. In order to treat grandfather, she urgently needed to collect a large amount of money.That day, the kind-hearted father finally ignored his mother's objections and went to the bank to withdraw money for his wife's father. He also bought fruit and nutritional supplements and took Garvin with him to the First Affiliated People's Hospital of Providence City to visit him because of congenital heart disease. Grandfather was hospitalized there while waiting for surgery.Well, since he was a child, even if Garvin could understand his mother's eagerness to get rid of the r
About twenty minutes later, the taxi turned out of the town center and came to a long road built along the coast. Unlike the bluestone or cobblestone streets in the center of the town, this coastal road was paved with cement, like a thick gray snake, and winded all the way to the promontory in front.On the outside of the coastal road was the undulating blue coast, and below it were patches of messy black reef beaches and the ebb and flow of the blue-gray sea. On the inside was a rolling hillside, with residential houses surrounded by dense woods. They were sparsely scattered throughout the hillside under the cover of the sky.Originally, this small town felt deserted, but when they arrived here it was extremely quiet, with only a few pitiful figures walking near and far along the roads."Here we are, just ahead." Under Lindsey's guidance, the taxi parked in front of a row of dense bushes on the roadside. There was a cobblestone-paved mountain path less than ten meters long in the for
In the blink of an eye, dinner was over.At this time, Garvin dragged Sebastian out of his grandmother's house in the name of taking a walk after dinner. He wanted to discuss with him the incident where he saw the female ghost in white in the afternoon - he did not dare to talk about it in his grandmother's house, lest they hear it and be scared.The two of them walked slowly along the long coastal road outside grandma's house. After Garvin muttered to himself for a long time, he didn't hear any word from Sebastian, who was slightly behind him. So he turned around and asked: "Sebastian, Sebastian, are you even listening to me?"However, this guy Sebastian was holding his SLR camera at this moment, taking pictures of the beach and the sea in front of him. He looked completely absent-minded. Garvin was so angry that he wanted to snatch his camera from him and throw it into the sea ahead.Hearing Garvin's call and seeing his darkened face, Sebastian put away the camera and said with a p
Sure enough, on the quiet coastal road, under the gradually closing shadow of twilight, a figure with long hair in white floated from far to near. The breeze from the sea kept lifting the figure's thick black hair, far away Looking at it, it looks like the wings of a black crow spreading its deadly wings.Garvin took a step back involuntarily and swallowed hard. The heart in his chest was beating fast. The female ghost in front of him suddenly appeared in his mind and transformed into a ferocious black crow with its long legs stretched out. Then he saw the terrifying scene of its sharp claws swooping towards him.However, when he saw it more clearly, he couldn't help but feel angry and funny. "Sebastian, something must be wrong with your eyes. Why are you seeing things that weren't there? That's clearly not a ghost, but a human." Garvin was angry at Sebastian, but in fact, he himself accidentally mistook this living person walking over for the female ghost from before.At this time,
Garvin followed Sebastian back to his grandmother's house. Just after he walked into the courtyard, he heard Quinn's anxious voice coming from the front hall on the first floor. "Lindsey, isn't Harper here with you? And why is your phone always turned off when I call you?”"Ah, Quinn, I'm sorry, my phone is out of battery. I just found out now that it was just charged," Lindsey said and glanced at Garvin and Sebastian who came in from the front door, "Xiao Hu didn't come here. Ah, what, he didn’t come home on time?”Quinn became even more uneasy after hearing this. "No, there is still no sign of him yet. Do you know where he went after school?""I really don't know about this," Lindsey shook her head apologetically, "I didn't have any classes this afternoon, so I asked for a day leave and went to the pier to pick up my cousin and his friend. I didn't go to school at all."Lindsey was now a teacher at Block Island Middle School - this school was the only middle school on this side of
Soon, it was midnight.The night was gloomy and the air was cold. No, it was not just cold, it was extremely cold, as if the place he was lying on was not a bed at all, but a deep ice cave.No matter how hard he curled up like an autumn bug, it was of no avail. His whole body, especially his feet, were so cold that he almost lost consciousness.But the most terrible thing was that in the sleepy state, the remaining breath of reason told him directly that this was not an ordinary cold, but with an extremely ominous air of decay. It was as if coming from the deep underworld, so gloomy that it was impossible for it to have the slightest breath of the human world."Ah!" Garvin suddenly woke up from his dark dream and sat up in the bed. A Dream! It was just a cold dream. Garvin tried to calm himself down, but looking down the bed, he saw the frosty ghost. It wasn't a dream, but a real ghost.After going through a series of twists and turns in his brain, Garvin finally figured out the situ
"Hey, Garvin, wake up, wake up! Why are you acting like a little kid and rolling off the bed while sleeping?" Early the next morning, Garvin woke up to Sebastian's yelling and kicking. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was laying on the hard wooden floor. "Fuck!" Slowly, he turned over, sat up from the ground, and touched the back of his head, wondering why he was sleeping on the floor. Soon, an idea flashed through his head as he gradually regained his senses, and he finally remembered the terrifying encounter in the second half of the previous night. Only then did he realize that he actually fainted on the floor, not slept on it.He quickly turned around and looked at the bed against the wall, but there was no one on the blue sheets that had been stained by the morning light that penetrated through the gaps in the curtains, and there were no piles of black hair that later turned into black snakes.Everything was like a nightmare."What are you looking at? Why do you look l
