Trapped in the Cursed House: The Terrifying Fate of Lily and Ryan

"Exploring the Abandoned House was a Grave Mistake"

By PikaadooPublished 3 years ago 2 min read

Once upon a time, in a small town, there was a house that everyone avoided. The house was old and decrepit, with boarded-up windows and overgrown bushes in the yard.

Rumors circulated that the house was cursed, that something terrible had happened there many years ago, and that the ghosts of the past still lingered within its walls.

Lily & Ryan

Despite the rumors, there was one curious teenager who couldn't resist exploring the abandoned house. Her name was Lily, and she had always been fascinated by horror stories and the paranormal.

She convinced her best friend, Ryan, to accompany her on her adventure, and they set off towards the house on a dark and stormy night.

As they approached the house, the wind howled, and the trees rustled ominously. Ryan hesitated, but Lily urged him on, insisting that they had nothing to fear.

They pushed open the front door, and a musty smell hit their noses. The house was cold and damp, and the floorboards creaked beneath their feet.

As they explored the first floor, they found nothing out of the ordinary, just old furniture covered in dust and cobwebs.

They made their way up the creaky staircase to the second floor, where they found a locked door. Lily was determined to see what was inside, and she searched for a way to break the lock. Ryan was hesitant but eventually gave in to her curiosity.

When they finally managed to open the door, they were met with a terrifying sight. The room was pitch black, and the air was thick with a foul odor.

They could barely make out the shape of a figure in the corner of the room, and as their eyes adjusted, they saw that it was a decomposing body.

Lily screamed, and Ryan grabbed her hand, pulling her towards the door. But the door had locked behind them, trapping them inside the room with the dead body.

They tried to force it open, but it wouldn't budge.

As they stood there, paralyzed with fear, they heard a voice whispering their names. It was coming from the corner of the room where the body lay.

They looked over, and to their horror, the body had moved. Its eyes were now open, and it was staring straight at them.

They tried to run, but the door remained locked. The voice grew louder, and the body started to twitch and convulse.

Suddenly, it lunged towards them, and they screamed as they felt its cold, clammy hands wrap around their necks.

Lily and Ryan never returned home that night. The towns people searched for them for weeks, but they were never found. Some say that they are still trapped in the cursed house, that their spirits have joined the others who haunt its halls.

The house still stands today, abandoned and decaying. Some say that if you listen closely on a quiet night, you can hear the faint whispers of Lily and Ryan's voices calling out for help.

But no one dares to venture inside, for fear of joining them in their eternal prison.
