Title: The House of Silent Footsteps

Level: Intermediate (B1–B2)

Story :

Clara inherits an old manor she doesn’t remember, yet the moment she enters, everything feels strangely familiar. She hears footsteps, finds a portrait of a woman who looks exactly like her, and receives a mysterious letter in her own handwriting. A man appears—Elias—who claims Clara lived in the same house long ago, and that they were lovers in a previous lifetime. He died trying to reach her during a storm, and his spirit has been trapped in the manor ever since.

As memories return to Clara, she recalls their tragic final night. The moment she remembers fully, Elias becomes real—but it also frees him from the manor. He gently says goodbye, promising to find her again in another life. Clara is left with a peaceful certainty that love continues across lifetimes.
