When things got to this point, Garvin finally made up his mind and decided to abandon his previous atheism. He went to a the Shaman shrine on the outskirts of Oklahoma that he had never been to before. He underwent a string of rituals that were said to have sandalwood bracelet with miraculous effect to escape evil spirits.But on the night he got the bracelet, he saw the figure of a middle-aged woman floating in the air at the door of the emergency room of the emergency department where he was newly transferred (accurately, he was kicked out).This woman's body had just been taken to the hospital morgue on a cart by a nurse. The cause of her death was suicide by hanging, and the reason for her suicide was that her husband, a contractor, had a mistress and wanted to divorce her.But her death was so worthless, because her body was still on the way to the morgue, and her husband, the contractor, was already standing at the door of the emergency room, happily calling the mistress on his
On the night when Garvin was forced to take a rest, he came to his girlfriend's house depressedly, trying to find some comfort from her, but he found her having sex with a guy in a suit inside a Mercedes Benz.When he went to argue with her the next day, all he got was her sarcasm. At the same time, she did not forget to throw back to him the gold ring he had given her, and showed him that she was now wearing a better one on her hand. The guy who drove the Mercedes bought her a platinum ring with a huge diamond on it.He couldn't help but look at the pair of gold rings his girlfriend threw back to him and the pair of gold rings he still wore on his left middle finger and smiled bitterly. He originally spent three months of his salary bonus to buy this pair of gold rings, hoping that he and his girlfriend could be as eternal as gold. Unfortunately, after spending a long time with her, he was just a ridiculous alternative at best.He couldn't survive in the hospital, and his girlfriend
"Are you seasick again?" Sebastian, who had been taking pictures of the island, finally noticed something strange about Garvin and came over to ask."No," Garvin took a deep breath, looked into his friend's eyes anxiously, and said, "Do you still remember the nightmare I told you?""The one about the ghost island? Yes, I remember. What's it about?" When Sebastian answered. He seemed to suddenly realize something, and suddenly frowned. He looked back at Block Island, which was very close at hand, then glanced at Garvin. "Are telling me this is the island you dreamed about?""Garvin nodded solemnly.Sebastian thought for a while, then laughed: "So this is where your nightmare came from, and you made such a fuss...""But I've never been here before, and I don't know what this island looks like!" Garvin immediately interrupted him and pointed his finger at the gloomy island in front of him, "But now it appears. The island in my dream is exactly the same as this one.”Sebastian, holding hi
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,
