The Haunted Trail

Mrs. Florence lived alone on the bank of the forbidden river and never had any visitors.
She has lived there for about 20years now since her husband passed away.


She rarely talks to anyone but herself, atleast that's what the physical eye sees.

Some say she communicates with her dead husband.

While

some others say she just talks to herself to feel less bored.

Whichever story was true, Phillip was prepared to go see for himself why the old lady lived there and was unharmed still even when the place was forbidden.
Phillip told his best friend Austin who warned him about it reminding him that no one has ever gone there except the old lady.


Mrs. Florence came to the village square to get some stuffs from the market. On her way going back, Phillip followed the trail of the lady's flip-flop without telling Austin so he won't talk him out of it.
The next day Phillip was no where to be found, Phillip's parent asked Austin for the whereabout of their son. After 2 weeks, Phillip's dead body was found on the shores of the river.
