Short Stories Before Bed (Horror)

Painting

On a quiet, cloudy night, a famous artist named Richard Hamilton sat in front of a large canvas in his art room. He was a famous painter who had created many beautiful paintings during his life, but there was one story he had never shared with the world. It was the story of his forbidden painting, which he had always hidden in the deepest corner of his art room.

The painting is very different from his other works of art. He was described by those who saw him as a monstrous work that was so alluring, yet frightening. The painting depicts a young woman with dark eyes and full of grief. His eyes seemed to be looking directly into the soul of whoever was looking at him. The woman's body was full of cuts and scratches. However, the most frightening thing was the terrifying smile engraved on his face. Richard created the painting years ago, when he was young and obsessed with darkness.

The longer Richard was in front of the painting, the more clearly he felt that the painting had extremely strong power. She could feel the presence of the woman in the painting, as if she had come off the canvas and was now in her art room. And as it always did, Richard felt a deep fear, yet he could never escape from the painting.

That night, when it was raining heavily, Richard decided to talk to an old friend who once worked as a psychic. His friend, Julia, is very interested in supernatural things. Richard never revealed to anyone about his forbidden painting, but he felt that this was the right time.

Julia came to Richard's house in the middle of the night. Richard took her to his art room, where the painting hung on the wall. Julia felt an extremely powerful mysterious energy as she looked at the painting. He approached the painting and touched it carefully. Julia then closed her eyes and began to feel the presence of the woman in the painting.

"His name is Eleanor" said Julia suddenly. "She was the woman who suffered in her life, and now she's trapped in this painting."

Richard was surprised to hear that. Julia continued, "Eleanor keeps trying to communicate with the real world through this painting. He wanted to tell people about his deep pain."

Richard felt deeply moved by Eleanor's story, and he wanted to help the woman. Julia proposes to find out more about Eleanor's life story. Together, they embark on a long quest and discover that Eleanor is a young artist living in the 19th century. She was a very intelligent and talented woman, but she suffered from deep depression.

Richard feels deeply moved by Eleanor's story, and he's increasingly drawn to uncovering the mystery behind the haunting painting. Julia proposes that they find out more about Eleanor, and they decide to embark on a long and intense study.

Night after night, Richard and Julia contemplated the painting. They enter the world of Eleanor through the details of the painting, trying to understand all the feelings and experiences that the woman might experience. They searched his life story diligently, digging through historical archives, old letters, and hidden records.

Eleanor, with long brown hair and curious eyes, was a young artist living in the 19th century. He grew up in a wealthy family, but the rich were unable to shake the loneliness that loomed over his life. His mother died when he was young, and his father was too busy with his business to care about him. It left Eleanor with a deep sense of isolation, even among the wealthy and the opulent.

But what makes Eleanor's life so interesting is her incredible artistic talent. He paints with very accurate detail and stunning beauty. However, his paintings always emitted a terrifying aura of sadness. Julia suspects that the painting is a mirror of Eleanor's inner feelings.

Eleanor is obsessed with the supernatural and the supernatural. He believed that there were supernatural forces controlling human life, and he sought to understand them through his work. Julia finds Eleanor's diary filled with notes about her strange dreams and her inexplicable experiences. Julia begins to feel that Eleanor is not only obsessed with the occult world, but may also be involved in it.

They visited the old house on a cloudy day. When they entered the house that had been unkempt for a long time, they felt a strange presence. Julia felt something goosebumps on her spine, while Richard felt that there were eyes looking at them from the dark shadows. They scoured the house carefully, looking for clues about the relationship between the house and Eleanor.

Inside the ancient living room, they found a table with rings made of old silver. Around it were piles of old books about the occult and the supernatural. Julia opens one of the books and finds Eleanor's note stating that she has tried to perform a number of occult rituals in search of answers to her loneliness and unhappiness.

As time goes on, Richard and Julia become increasingly entangled in this mystery. They feel that Eleanor is continuing to follow them, conveying mysterious messages through dreams and feelings that creep into their minds. Julia feels that she is connected to the supernatural world, and that Eleanor wants to share something very important.

One dark night, they return to Richard's art room. Eleanor's painting calls to them. Richard began to redraw the painting with various fears and curiosity. When he finished, they felt Eleanor's presence was stronger than before.

Julia stepped closer to the painting and spoke softly, "Eleanor, we want to help you. What do you want to tell us?".

That night, something extraordinary happened. Eleanor's painting began to speak. A soft and melodious voice rang out from within the painting, telling Eleanor's life story, her deep feelings, and her research on the occult world. Richard and Julia listened with bated breath, mesmerized by what they were witnessing.

Julia asked the question, "Eleanor, what do you want to tell the world?"

Eleanor replied in a soft voice, "I want people to know that happiness is something we should look for in ourselves, not in the supernatural or material world. I'm too obsessed with the invisible, and that's what causes my unhappiness."

After the conversation with Eleanor, Richard and Julia were relieved. They felt that they had helped reveal the secrets and messages hidden within the spooky painting. They decide to share Eleanor's story with the world, as a reminder of the true happiness and happiness that can be found within oneself.

Eleanor's painting was no longer scary. Today, the painting is a symbol of inspiration for many who see it, reminding them to seek happiness within themselves. Richard and Julia knew that they had helped Eleanor find the voice she had long sought, and freed her from her deep sadness.

The story of Eleanor and her paintings reminds us that the world is often full of unsolved mysteries, and that we must be willing to open our hearts and minds to understand the stories behind the horror stories that may be all around us.
