Town of Mapleton

Town of mapleton:

The sun was setting over the sleepy town of Mapleton, and Mahe and Sanam were heading back from their walk in the park. They had been considering taking a quick detour to the nearby swamp, but both had the same lingering feeling that something was not quite right and decided to go home instead.

Mahe and Sanam moved quickly through the shadows of the fading light. An uneasy feeling of dread crept up their spines as they hurried along, though they could not realize why. Suddenly, they heard a strange sound coming from the bushes nearby. It was like a distant moaning, almost like a distressed animal, which seemed to pierce the silence of the night.

Deciding to investigate, Mahe and Sanam stayed close together as they searched the depths of the bushes. After a few moments, they heard shuffling and rustling noises. Then, they saw a human figure emerging from the foliage.

The stranger was a mute, pale-faced woman with long, disheveled hair. She was wearing a tattered dress and had deep cuts on her arms and legs. In one hand, she held a picture of a young girl, but her eyes were fixated on Mahe and Sanam. She motioned for them to come closer but instead both froze in terror.

The woman then began dragging her tattered body towards them. As she drew nearer, their terror only intensified. A sense of pure dread overwhelmed the couple, and suddenly Mahe and Sanam knew why the woman was there—she had come to take revenge upon them!

In a fit of desperation, they ran as fast as they could, not stopping until they reached the safety of their home. Neither of them would ever forget that night, filled with fear and horror. What happened to the woman in the bushes? Mahe and Sanam never knew.

But sometimes, as they lie in bed trying to sleep,The darkness filled the room as both of them lay still in the bed, unable to move even the slightest bit at the horrifying realization of what was coming. As their eyes adjusted to the pitch darkness, they noticed a small bit of light coming from the corner of the room.

Fearfully, they got out of bed and stepped closer, hearts pounding in their chests as they noticed a strange glowing figure standing in the corner of the room. It had the shape of a twisted humanoid and was flickering faintly in the darkness, neither of them moving as the figure slowly crept closer.

At first, nothing seemed to happen as the figure advanced, but then the walls started to creak and the furniture began to sway as the creature seemed to get closer and closer. All of a sudden, they heard a voice coming from within the figure - a voice that seemed to whisper in their minds. Its words echoed in their head as it began speaking to them, telling them of the horrors that were soon to come.

The figure spoke of a great being that was coming to devour them and of a darkness that would envelop everything they knew and loved. Its voice filled them with dread and they backed away as it advanced towards them.

With every step it seemed to get bigger and bigger, growing until it almost filled their bedroom. Just before the creature completely engulfed them, they shook themselves from the paralysis of fear, eyes widening as they heard a deep, loud roar coming from within the figure.

This was the moment of realization for them both - this was the being that had come to devour them. The creature lunged for them and as they jumped onto their bed and tried to escape, there was an explosion of light and what felt like a blinding force that seemed to fill the room. Just before the creature completely encompassed them, they heard a final desperate whisper in their minds,

"Run! Do not look back or you will be trapped here forevermore...”.

The two of them started to run, struggling to get around the furniture and the walls, searching desperately for a way out of the room. With each corner they successfully turned, the force got stronger as the roar and light seemed to get bigger and bigger. Just as they thought all hope was lost, they managed to make it outside, though what they saw then was terrifying.

Dozens of other figures of darkness had filled the rest of the city, wreaking havoc and destruction. This was what the creature had come to bring - ultimate destruction and chaos. As they stopped and stared, they could see the terror reigning in everyone’s eyes. They had escaped their own individual horror, but their minds were filled with the knowledge that a much greater horror had yet to come.

Mahe and Sanam can still hear her voice calling out to them in the night, reminding them of the horror they experienced in Mapleton.
