Boy emerges changed, forever haunted from "summary" of Haunted House by Jan Pienkowski
As the boy stepped out of the haunted house, he could feel a chill run down his spine. The shadows seemed darker, the wind colder, as if the very essence of the house had seeped into his bones. He tried to shake off the feeling, but it clung to him like a shroud, a constant reminder of the horrors he had witnessed inside. Every night, as he lay in bed, the memories would come flooding back. The creaking of the floorboards, the whispering of ghostly voices, the icy touch of unseen hands. He would toss and turn, trying to banish the images from his mind, but they would not let him rest. And when sleep finally came, it brought with it nightmares so vivid, so real, that he would wake in a cold sweat, heart pounding in his chest. During the day, he tried to convince himself that it was all just a trick of the light, a figment of his imagination. But deep down, he knew the truth. Something had changed inside him that day, something dark and unsettling. He could no longer look at the world with the same innocent eyes, could no longer feel the same sense of wonder and joy. His friends noticed the difference, the way he would start at sudden noises, the way he would flinch at unexpected shadows. They tried to comfort him, to reassure him that it was all in his head. But he could see the doubt in their eyes, could sense the fear that lingered between them. And so he lived, haunted by the memories of that fateful day, haunted by the knowledge that he could never truly escape the darkness that now dwelt within him. Forever changed, forever haunted, he wandered through life like a ghost, a shadow of his former self.
