The town of Oradour in the south of France, was quite unpopulated, according to what they said, because of the massacre that had occurred in the Second World War, but even so the prices in this place were quite cheap, my parents had just died, but before they spoke Much about that place, according to them it was a beautiful place, when they died, my sister and I were completely alone, we had no other choice but to buy a house in that place, the landlord said that the people were quite strange and that the house needed several repairs, but we did not care, since at that time the only concern we had was surviving. When we arrived at the place, we realized that the people were quite nice, they received us quite well, we arrived at the house and it seemed almost new, at that moment I would never have imagined what was really happening, my sister sang the song that my father sang to him to sleep, every day was like that, always sung, he saw it normal at first but, when singing it it is as if his behavior changed completely, he was altered if he interrupted her, luckily we had a very good neighbor who brought us food every days and it helped to reassure him, but while cleaning the house I found an old newspaper, it was a newspaper that told the ways in which they tortured these people in the Second World War, the point is that they described them so exactly that they looked like the people of the town That was not possible, suddenly she started singing again, and there was a knock on the door, it was my neighbor, she started singing the same song that my sister was singing, I saw it confused it was the fiction with reality, it was never food plates that gave me but a container full of worms, we had been eating them for days, the house was completely different, it seemed more like an abandoned house, and my sister was just a doll, I went outside , everything was full of dolls, and suddenly I saw a bonfire light ran to ask for help, but they were crazy people they had my sister dead on a table.
