Title: The Whispering Shadows of Marrow Bay

Level: Advanced (C1-C2)


#Story:

In the coastal town of Marrow Bay, a quiet place surrounded by fog and legends, the town's residents whisper about the ancient curse that haunts their land. The curse is tied to an old lighthouse that has stood for centuries, its light extinguished long ago. The spirits of sailors lost at sea, along with a malevolent entity known as the "Whispering Shadow," haunt the town, appearing in the mist and tormenting the living. When a young woman named Elena arrives in the village to investigate the strange occurrences, she uncovers dark secrets about her own family’s connection to the curse. As the shadows grow stronger, Elena must decide whether to confront the curse or flee before the shadows consume everything she holds dear.
