    Saint Michael’s Academy for Girls was a place of strict discipline, ruled by the fearsome Sister 
    Agnes. Rumors of missing students and cruel punishments haunted its halls, but no one truly

    continued, a group of students uncovered a chilling secret. 
    Mai Redding, both the author and narrator of this chilling tale, is a storyteller fascinated by the 
    unexplained. With a keen eye for atmospheric horror, she weaves haunting narratives that blur 
    the line between reality and legend. Her immersive storytelling draws readers into eerie worlds 
    of suspense.
