Midnight in Glass Hollow

Title: Midnight in Glass Hollow

Episode-1

In the quiet town of Glass Hollow, time seemed to stand still. Tucked between forested hills and misty lakes, the town was the kind of place where nothing much happened—at least, not until Clara Ellis moved there.

Clara was ordinary in every sense of the word. She worked part-time at the local bookstore, wore secondhand sweaters, and lived with her grandmother in a creaky Victorian house that always smelled faintly of lavender and dust. Her life was quiet, predictable—until the night she took a wrong turn in the woods.

It was supposed to be a shortcut home. The full moon lit the path well enough, and Clara, clutching her worn canvas bag to her chest, walked briskly. That’s when she saw him.

He stood under an old oak tree, perfectly still, like a statue carved from moonlight and shadows. He was handsome —unfairly so. Dark hair framed a pale, angular face. His eyes, an unnatural shade of silver, seemed to see right through her.

“Are you lost?” he asked, his voice low and smooth, like velvet soaked in wine.

Clara swallowed. “No. I mean… maybe. Who are you?”

He smiled, but there was no warmth in it. “People call me Lucien. I live here.”

“Here? In the woods?”

“Yes.”
