Description

In the mist-shrouded rows of an ancient vineyard, some spirits never truly leave... Aspiring vintner Ellie knows every soul at the winery's harvest celebration—until a barefoot woman steps from the fog, her raven hair swirling like secrets from the vines. She calls herself Anna and speaks of the grapes with an otherworldly intimacy, as if the earth itself whispers back to her. As ghost stories flicker around the fire pit, the legend of Liliana Ruiz emerges—a young dreamer who vanished in a devastating storm, her laughter still haunting the fields on rainy nights. But when Anna slips away into the shadows, Ellie is left questioning what's real and what's woven from the mist. Has the vineyard's restless past awakened something unearthly? Or is the spirit of the vines reaching out to Ellie, mirroring her own unspoken dreams? In this haunting short ghost story, the boundary between the living and the eternal blurs, where every sip of wine carries the taste of unfinished dreams—and the promise of something otherworldly watching from the mist.
