I came home after vacation and saw a huge hole in the middle of my yard: I watched the footage from the security cameras and froze in horror 

I spent a week on the coast with a friend. Sea, sun, carefree evenings — everything was perfect. We rode scooters, ate fresh seafood, talked late into the night, and laughed at silly stories from the past. I even started to feel renewed, like life was finally moving in the right direction. Especially after a tough breakup.

When I came home, at first nothing seemed strange. The car was in place, the gate wasn’t broken. I was about to be happy to return, when suddenly… I froze.

Right in the middle of my yard, on the neatly trimmed lawn, there was a huge hole. It was deep, perfectly rectangular. Such holes are dug… well, in cemeteries.

A chill ran through me. Who did this? Why? What kind of grim theater was this?

The first thing that came to mind was maybe some workers mixed up the lots. But I definitely hadn’t hired anyone. I walked around the hole. A shovel lay nearby. Boot prints. Someone had dug hard, for a long time.

I began to shake. My throat went dry. It was clear: this was no accident. It was someone’s idea. An idea with a message.

I ran into the house and immediately turned on the security footage.

Rewinding through the past few days, I stopped when I saw this… Continued in the first comment 

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared. Night. The second day of my vacation. In the shadow of a car’s headlights came out… her. My ex-girlfriend.

We had been together almost two years. At first, everything was great, but over time she became controlling, hot-tempered, insanely jealous. I endured for a long time, but one day I just left.

No scandals, no hysterics — I packed my things and left. She wrote, called, cried. Then went silent. I thought it was over. Apparently, I was wrong.

She wore a black hoodie with a hood and gloves. She carried a shovel. And started digging.

Almost four hours straight. With breaks. Alone. In complete silence. Only the headlights and the sound of digging. Then she stood at the edge of the hole, took out a wooden cross, stuck it in the ground, looked straight at the camera and… smiled. Calmly, coldly.

Something was written on the cross.

I zoomed in. My hand was shaking.

“Here lies a traitor”

I ran to the sink and vomited. It wasn’t just a gesture. It was a warning. Revenge. A sign that she wasn’t done. That maybe she was still nearby. That she was watching.

I immediately called the police. Explained, showed the footage. They took it very seriously. While waiting for the patrol, I couldn’t shake the feeling that someone was watching me from behind the fence. Behind the trees. From the darkness.

The next morning she was arrested. She lived in a rented apartment in another district. During the interrogation she denied nothing. She only said:

“I just wanted him to know how much I loved him.”

She was sent for psychiatric evaluation. And I couldn’t sleep at night for a long time. Every morning, leaving the house, I glanced at the lawn as if expecting to see a new hole there.
