Feast For the Dead

in Freewriters3 days ago (edited)

We used to live in a beautiful, newly renovated landed property, where we wanted to set up two home offices but were totally derailed when his mother transformed the space into this chaotic and unsettling environment.

She filled the house with her belongings and conducted strange rituals, such as setting up a table with ten place settings to invite unseen entities for a feast right inside our house.

The Chinese tradition for the Hungry Ghost Festival involves performing rituals away from one’s home, even far from the front gate, to avoid attracting unwanted spirits into the home. Yet, she chooses to do the opposite.

The energy in the house was off. Friends who visited would take obvious detours to avoid certain spots, seeing some presence there. Soon, no one wanted to come inside.
