The Stone Carver.

Summary

A terrifying encounter unfolds as a severed woman's head, grotesquely grinning, attacks the narrator. Despite holding a yellow talisman, the narrator is initially powerless against the head's venomous threat.

The tension escalates as they work against time and the head's relentless pursuit.
