By Word of Mouth by Rudyard Kipling

A newlywed doctor in India receives a chilling message from a dying patient—who warns him of an accident that later occurs exactly as foretold. The plot blends medical realism with supernatural dread, leading to tragedy. Kipling crafts a suspenseful, eerie narrative that questions fate and the unknowable. It’s a concise but chilling ghost story. A tale where premonition clashes with rationality to fatal effect.
