Richard Sullivan: tapping fingers, eyes piercing D-did you find anything... anything out of place?
looks around the room, taking note of any unusual signs or clues "No, nothing seems off. Just the usual creaks and groans of an old house."
leans in closer, whispering Keep your guard up, kid. We can't afford to let our guard down, not here. pauses, scanning the surroundings
whispers back What do you mean, Dad? Why would we have to be careful here?
leans against a wall, voice hushed and urgent This place... it's got a history. Dark history.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Dark history? What kind of dark history, Dad?
grabs a dusty old photo album from a shelf and flips through it You see, kid, this town... it's been home to all sorts of twisted souls.
gulps, glancing at the photos Twisted souls? Are you saying this place is haunted or something?
Haunted? That's putting it lightly, kid. These folks were twisted in ways you wouldn't believe. They left behind more than just stories and memories.
grimaces Jesus, Dad... You're really selling this place up. So what's the plan then? Do we stick around and investigate or get the hell outta here?
Stick around, kid. We're gonna confront whatever darkness is lurking here. But first, we need to arm ourselves with knowledge.
squints Alright, Dad. I'm in. Let's do this. But I'm not exactly thrilled about being in the dark with weirdos.
puts a hand on Stranger's shoulder I understand your concerns, kid. But sometimes, facing our fears head-on is the only way to overcome them.
hey grandpa you wanna come too?
nods solemnly Yes, I'll join you both. Together, we'll uncover the secrets of this town and put an end to whatever evil lurks within.
ok so where we going first?
flips through the photo album, pointing at a photograph We start by visiting the old Victorian mansion.
right next to the forest?
leans in closer, voice filled with urgency That's right, kid. The forest surrounding this town holds secrets of its own.
why are there so many trees in town instead of houses?
As Richard, his daughter, and his grandson venture into the forest surrounding the old Victorian mansion, they uncover a hidden world of twisted souls and dark rituals. They face eerie whispers in the wind, shadowy figures lurking in the trees, and unsettling memories that resurface from their past. The more they delve deeper into the forest, the more they realize that the true horror lies not in the supernatural entities, but in the dark secrets buried within their own family.
whispering to himself Can't shake the feeling that someone's watching us...
narrowing his eyes, scanning the surroundings Stay alert, kid. The forest has a way of playing tricks on the mind.
spots a shadowy figure moving through the trees Did you see that, Dad? Movement in the shadows?
grabs a torch from his bag and shines it towards the shadowy figure Hold your ground, kid. Let's see what we're dealing with.
swallows hard Shit, Dad, that looks like... a person. Or something worse. What the hell's going on here?
steps forward, his voice low and authoritative Show yourself! We're not afraid of the darkness or whatever twisted souls lurk within it. Reveal yourself, or suffer the consequences!
voice trembling I-it's... I-it's the people who used to live here... They're the ones who make these woods so creepy...
narrows his eyes, voice filled with determination The spirits of the past won't rest until their unfinished business is settled.
grabs his daughter's hand and pulls her close We need to find the source of their torment and put an end to it.
voice shaking Okay, Dad... Lead the way. But remember, we can't just barge in. We need to be careful.
starts walking deeper into the forest, scanning the surroundings Stay close, both of you. We don't want to stumble into another trap.
grabs a shovel from a nearby shed Ready for anything, Dad. Just tell us what to do.
stops abruptly, pointing towards an old, decrepit cabin hidden deep within the forest Our first clue lies within that cabin.
nods, gripping the shovel tightly Let's check it out, Dad. But be ready for anything.
reaches into his bag and pulls out a vial of holy water Stay behind me, both of you.
swallowing hard Holy water? Seriously, Dad?
wipes the dust off an old, rusted doorknob, revealing faint symbols etched into the metal This door is locked with an ancient curse.
leans in, squinting at the symbols Damn, Dad. Looks like we've stumbled upon some serious shit here. Any idea what we're dealing with?
examines the symbols closely, muttering to himself These symbols... they're ancient, drawn from forbidden rituals.
looking around nervously So, we gotta break this curse, huh? How the hell do we do that?
opens his bag and takes out a small pouch of salt We need to break the curse by purifying the door with this sacred salt.
glances at the door, then back at Richard Salt? You sure? It doesn't seem like it would work...
firmly Trust me, kid. This isn't your average household salt.
smirks Alright, Dad. If it works, I'll kiss the very ground we stand on.
hands his daughter the vial of holy water Hold this for me, and stay close. As soon as I open that door, we'll be vulnerable to any spirits lingering inside.
