Shelter

The shelter of Maria Rose's founder, located on the outskirts of the town, was famous for decades for its unusual children. Rumors circulated about the nature of their abilities - something terrifying, mystical. On the surface, everything seemed harmless: the children seemed happy within the shelter's walls. But hidden behind its facade was a secret. Some whispered about horrible experiments, others that the children possessed a terrifying power that oppressed the will of adults. The truth remained buried beneath a veil of silence that surrounded the shelter's inhabitants, as if controlled by an unknown power. The night of December 19, 1967, forever entered the town's history. Gunshots rang out, causing the residents to shudder. In the shelter, engulfed by a deadly silence, they found Maria Rose lying over the bodies of children. She held a weapon in her hand, and tears streamed down her face. She pleaded to save the children, but every time people tried to approach, she fired, eventually turning the barrel on herself. The shelter was closed. Legends about the children and Maria Rose, the ghostly inhabitants of a mysterious place, did not subside. It was said that every year, on the night of December 19, the lights in the shelter come back on, and gunshots echo in the darkness. The only day of the year when the ghosts remind of themselves.
