It was a dark and stormy night. The lightning flashed in the sky as if a war was going on. The bullets fired in the dark clouds only revealed its light. The sound of the bombs exploding leaving echoes with cries of horror going on forever. The ringing in your ears as if someone fired a gun right beside your head. The sky is crying for peace, but it's very elusive.
"You're the only one that seems to cry for me," says Arthur.
While looking at the sky with agony, 14-year-old Arthur Jones was about to make the most horrifying mistake of his life. Standing on the edge of the embrasure.
They say that every Halloween, The Shell takes over the mind of a teenager. A night when all hope seems lost. The rainstorm and the sound of thunder. "Why?" You asked. No one knows for sure, but maybe this story may shiver your core.
In the mid-1800s, there was a ball. Every wealthy person attended this event. It was for Halloween, of course, where you dance, drink, and do all the things rich people did. A woman named Alice and her soon-to-be husband Walter was having the time of their lives together. Sitting far left in the corner, a man named Charles Jones had eyes for Alice. Hes considered an outcast among many people in the town, mainly because Charles used most of his money on alcohol. On this particular night, he became someone different, or rather something different.
Charles wanted Alice to be his. Since she was soon to be wedded, Charles killed Alice. If he couldn't have her, neither could Walter. A few months passed, and Walter's mind started to go mad. After losing his beloved, he vowed to find the one who murdered Alice. One day while walking in the woods, Walter ran into a woman in a black cloak. As he walked past her, the woman sensed the darkness in his heart. Without Walter noticing, she used an eyepiece to look into his past. After seeing what happened, she decided to manipulate the already broken and grieving man. Filling his heart with hate and giving him dreams of what life would have been like with Alice.
In one dream, he dreamt of his teenage son dying from tuberculosis while his wife later died from starving herself. In another, his wife is giving birth to their second daughter, and then one month later, Alice is dying from influenza. It caused his first daughter to take her newborn sister and commit suicide from an embrasure. Within every dream, the same doctor, diener, nurse, and caregiver appeared with the last name Jones. It wasn't until later it occurred to Walter, to whom he killed his beloved Alice. A week passed, and Walter was at the edge of a cliff on a stormy night gazing into the dark clouds. Walter prayed for a curse on the Jones family, then jumped to death. While he fell facing the sky, "You're the only one that ever cried for me."
Two days passed, and the woman in the black cloak found his body as cold as ice. Using her eyepiece once more, she saw what he had requested. Within that moment, the woman who had woken up by a strange phenomenon or rather a peculiar voice weeks ago. She saw the most peaceful dream Walter had. Walking away, the woman pulls down the cloak revealing her face.
"I will make it happen, my beloved."
Throughout time, generation after generation, many members of the Jones family have carried this curse. Mostly teenagers and some infants.
Arthur was still on the edge of the embrasure jumped. All of a sudden, he wakes up freezing from a horrible nightmare. It was nothing more than a dream. There is a terrible storm tonight. Arthur gets up and goes to the edge of the embrasure, looking at the sky, saying
"You're the only one that seems to cry for me."
The End
