Japanese Urban Legend: The Skeleton Woman (Hone-Onna)

 According to a Japanese Legend, a Hone-Onna is a yokai, a skeleton woman who tricks men by approaching them as an attractive woman. She seduces them and then sucks their life force. 

Now, there are stories that a Hone-Onna isn't actually evil. After death, a Hone-Onna doesn't forget the love she had when she was alive and will try to find her partner not realizing she is dead. Her true form is usually not seen by her lover but his friend or servant. 

When I came across this legend, I decided to write a short story about it.
