The Sundial Cast A Shadow At Night π± | Scary Horror Story
The sundial in my garden casts a shadow at night β and there is no moon in the sky.
I moved to Ashcombe for the quiet: a stone cottage at the end of Church Lane, a wild garden, and an old sundial in the middle of the lawn, carved with the words I COUNT ONLY THE SUNNY HOURS. Then came the first warm night of June, and under a full moon, the sundial cast a shadow pointing at the house β the wrong way.
Every night the shadow creeps a little closer. The grass it touches turns grey and cold. A tarpaulin cannot stop it. A hammer cannot break it. And when I dig beneath the pedestal, I find an iron ring set flat in the earth β a handle, for a door that opens downwards.
The old woman in the village shop knows what the sundial really is. It marks a grave. And the man buried standing upright beneath it has been rising, a little every night, for a hundred and fifty years.
