The Composer’s Curse

Lucas, a young musician, discovered a hidden manuscript in an abandoned opera house. The score was beautiful but eerie—anyone who performed it experienced vivid hallucinations of tragic events.

As Lucas practiced, he began seeing the lives of past composers who had vanished mysteriously. The music seemed alive, influencing reality itself. Determined to finish the composition, he faced haunting visions of accidents, betrayal, and despair.

The climax occurred during his first public performance. The audience was entranced, some crying, some fainting. Lucas realized the curse was meant to teach empathy and the weight of genius. He ended the performance by altering the final notes, releasing the trapped spirits and freeing himself from the music’s dark grip.
