A series of 100-word micro-fiction thriller June Challenge Day 26
That gentle melody was suddenly overcome by absolute silence.
Staggering in dark, Evan whispered to the wall —
“Are you there?”
“Yeah!” The voice, loud and grim echoed.
“How did you get there?”
“Aura carried me here in her arms.”
“What!Who the hell is she?”
“My friend. Since I bought this abandoned cottage a month back, we live here as flesh and blood.”
“Holy-crap! How did that woman enter this wall?
“Hundred years ago, Priestess Aura was buried alive in crypt in the wall, found guilty of unchastity.”
“Holy heavens! Why did you invite me?”
“Aura is thirsty for hundred years…”

Got inspiration from this —
In ancient Rome, the vestal virgins were buried alive if they break the law and carried out any immodest act or lose their virginity.
