THE STRANGER'S PROMISE

Once in a village of Malawi was a man, his wife, and 4 children, namely Joy, Jason, Jane, and Jacob. The family lived a simple and enjoyable life, surrounded by lush green forests and vast fields of maize. They spent their days farming, fishing, and exploring the nearby woods.

One night, the four children decided to sneak out of the house, eager for adventure and excitement. As they walked under the soft, silvery moonlight, the crickets and frogs provided a soothing background melody. The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers.

As they strolled deeper into the forest, they stumbled upon a mysterious man dressed in tattered robes. His eyes gleamed with an otherworldly intensity, and his voice sent shivers down their spines. He introduced himself as Mr. Chekani, a traveler with secrets and tales from far-off lands.

Mr. Chekani promised the children that if they followed him, their previous life would be forgotten, and they would wake up in the city the very next morning. The prospect of a new life, filled with excitement and possibilities, tantalized the children. They eagerly agreed to follow him, ignoring the warning signs and the eerie feeling that settled in the pit of their stomachs.

As they reached Mr. Chekani's cottage, the children heard whispers of lost souls and screams of children. The air grew thick with an eerie, unsettling energy. Suddenly, the reality of their situation dawned on them – they had made a terrible mistake.

Mr. Chekani's smile twisted into a malevolent grin as he revealed his true intentions. The children tried to flee, but it was too late. Mr. Chekani, the infamous serial killer, had them right where he wanted them.

The next morning, the villagers awoke to find the children missing. A search party was formed, but no signs of Joy, Jason, Jane, or Jacob were ever found. The village was left with only whispers of the mysterious stranger and the unspeakable horror he had unleashed.
