《Tale of Pathetic Prince》Intermission and notice.

This is not a chapter related to the story. I will be going for a break for the next month as my sessional exams are going to start and the story that I am going to mention is only something that happened to me two times.
I don't have the time for writing the story, but I can promise to release 3 chapters in a row next time I start again. And as today is Diwali, I was able to have some time away from chores to write this post. I arrived at my house from college 2 days prior of this post and have been busy since then.
So this post is not just some has boring notice. I will be depicting why I belief in the supernatural.
***************************************************************************************************************************************
First time I ever saw something out of this world was , when I was just 5yrs old. Those days I used to live at a government colony, with the park in front of my house with a warehouse in the back. From when I was young my mother told me to not go inside the park as snakes and scorpians come out in night, but one day, as I was just a child, I asked my friend to come play with me in the park.
It was 10 at night(If I remember correct). And electricity was gone out because of some fault. As my house was in front of the park, everyone in the community came to sit and talk, I was able to get away from my sister because of all the people. When I asked my friend to play, His mother(who was taking a walk with her son) retorted, telling me to not go inside while saying the same stuff my mother tells me.
As a usual kid, I totally ignored her and promising that I will not go there, I ran after seeing that my friend's mother has gone far, and entered the park alone. I was dead at night, there was no wind.

As I kept going deeper in the park, I didn't found any snakes or scorpians, but reaching the end of the park, I found something that changed my life forever.
In the end of the park, there were multiple trees planted, and in 2 of the trees atleast at the hight of 10m, someone was swinging in a piece of what looked like a dirty clothe.
As it was night, I couldn't see who was swinging on those trees dead at night. I was a ble to control my bladder and seeing the creepy presence in front of my I fled the scene.
I didn't used the gate to exit, instead I used what can said to be the fence of the park(Come to India and you will know). I ran away fast and soon reached my parents, They were still having a discussion with the neighbors. WHen I reached that place I ran into my fathers bossom, and started crying. I told them what happened while shivering, but no one believed me and the only proof that it was not a dream was that I got badly ill after that incident.
It may not be a good encounter with a ghost like what I saw on youtube, but it was terrifying for me. And I am still scared of that park.
Even when I am all grown up and has seen actual shits( like horrific accidents and the bodies of the victims in live), THat creepy feeling of someone watching you always creeps me out, as I don't know if I was hallucinating or I made it up later, but I remembered the figure in the swing to tilt it's head, though all I could see at that time was a clothe going up and down very fast.
************************************
And the reason I am writing this post is that I found a video on youtube that was something similar to my second encounter with ghost.

************************************
The second time was when I was going to my family's village for a vacation.
It was 3am at night and I being a 14yrs old was awake during the whole ourney and seeing outside the train window, even though most of the time I couldn't see much of the stuff, but I still continued glaring outside, which is usual for me , as I never sleep during a journey.
Cities came and go, small towns, crossings, huts in far away, all came and go away. I was happy seeing aflickering light in the night as it gave me some kind of relief. I had mostly forget about the previous incident and remembering it only as a bad memory and thinking that my kid brain made it up.
I never considered anything to happen, as I have went from that route multiple times and still remembers some landmarks on the railroad.
The train was 4hours late, and I kept watiching outside the window. As the place where we needed to get off was ust 3 hours away. I was happy and can hear some people talking in the cabin far away from mine.
There were still some people that were awake like me.
As the train reached an apartment complex filled with lights in the middle of nowhere( Seriously I didn't notice any city), I happily imprinted the scene in my eyes, It was not what baffeled me, but what scared me is that as the train slowed down a little and we reached the overgrown trees that surrounded the building, I saw something odd.
In the woods atmost 5 meters away from the train stood a girl in blue clothing, unmoving and having her head hide behind a branch while her whole body can be seen, standing in front of the train.
First I didn't find it odd, but after keep playing the scene in my mind, I noticed that the womans clothing was odly cleaned and her face was totally hid in the shadow, as it never existed. Having a fair skin and the clothes she was weaing, I didn't think she was from an ordinary household.
The more that scene I played in my mind, the more scared I got, And remembering my previous experience made me more scared.
As I was grown up than before, I didn't told my family about this one( Previous time they thought I was making stuff up and still don't believe me). But seeing an odd video on youtube today made me think about that ordeal again.
Sorry for taking your time on my stupid story, and I may not have proof about all this, But I will say that these two things are the scariest thing that happened to me.
So If possible in the comments tell me about your experience(If any).
And as for the the prince story, it will surely chage it's pace and new characters will be introduced, with a recurring annoying character in the making.
The upcoming character will be someone like cartman from SouthPark and will also be one of the key characters of the story.
And because of that video I got enlightened to write a horror short story. It will be a genuine story and will be creepy as a man in a womans lingerie holding a knife with beard on his face.(If possible)

The Empty Valley Cries Unheard
The stories can be read at any order. Phew, this story was finally finished at last! What could I say, it was a hell of a ride when I wrote it from the beginning to end. Thanks for having me on RR :D All the current chapter had already done a run on Grammarly, so hopefully it'd be more readable. ...kinda feeling lazy so calling off the edits for now. A couple of old / new attempts of combining Horror, Comedy and Absurdist elements. I'm not very good at writing Horror stories but I'd like to try once in a while. Although the first chapter may be completely screwed up, believe me--I mostly write fluffy gay scenes between two girls. It would PROBABLY become a lot lighter as we moved up the chapter count. Not for the faint of heart, but if you're like me who like some absurd or nonsensical stories, this might be right up your alley. Sorry in advance if some of the chapters seem normal lol additional tags : nonsense / absurd / parody

The Morgulon
Greg never really wanted to become a werewolf hunter. He just wanted to prove to his father that he could do the job his family was famous for, maybe earn some money while he’s at it. He certainly never wanted to become a werewolf, or run away from home, or fight the inquisition. Unfortunately, as his brothers would say, fate has a shitty sense of humour. Updates on Mondays. "I feel like this story perfectly represents how you can't judge a book by its cover (or, in this case, concept). Edgy badboy werewolf teen romance? Yeet that concept out the window and get ready for an action-packed fantasy with an incredibly built world and logical, realistic characters." "This is a great story, probably better than any werewolf novel I've read. It's certainly not a typical werewolf story (but don't let that stop you from reading it, the werewolves are still amazing.)" "A werewolf story where people aren't constantly meeting gruesome ends that still maintains a gritty atmosphere. Realistic worldbuilding and character design make this a must read!" - RR reviews The first chapter is also on DeviantArt, more may follow.

Armored
600 years have passed since the fall of civilization. The earth went through massive changes and core beasts now reign supreme. All that still exists of mankind are ruins and a scattering of walled cities. Festering pits of the worst humanity has to offer, protected by "knights" clad in a mech-like technology called armor.

But everyone wants a piece of the ancient technology lost to mankind hundreds of years ago. Find one piece and it could change your life forever. For better or worse. This is my second attempt at a story. I haven't been writing for more than 3 or 4 months all combined. I hope to improve as I go. This is first and foremost a learning experience for me.
