COINCIDENCE? ft. Sam and Colby

8

Hazel and Brielle decided to make their visit to the Museum of Death a memorable one. As they got ready, their distinct personalities reflected in their choice of outfits. Hazel, known for her laid-back and edgy style, opted for ripped black skinny jeans, a vintage band tee, and her signature leather jacket adorned with various pins. Her combat boots completed the look, giving off an effortlessly cool vibe.

On the other hand, Brielle, with her bubbly and vibrant aura, went for a more contrasting outfit. She chose a flowy, floral maxi dress, accentuating the sunshine yellow hues. A denim jacket, adorned with cute patches and pins, added a touch of her quirky personality. Complementing the ensemble, she wore comfortable white sneakers, ready for the adventures ahead.

As they stood in front of the mirror, Brielle expressed her reservations about the choice of the museum. "Why do we have to go here? It's such a dark place. I would rather prefer castles," she said with a slight pout. Hazel, brushing her raven-colored hair, chuckled, "But castles also have a backstory about death."

Brielle sighed, "Well, I know, but it's different, okay?" Hazel, understanding her friend's perspective, reassured, "Sure, sure. We can go to some other less dark place after that museum." Brielle brightened up, "Really?" Hazel nodded, "Of course."

With their outfits finalized and spirits lifted, they headed out. The sun was shining brightly as they strolled through the streets of LA. Hazel checked her phone and suggested, "The museum is just a few minutes away. Should we walk, or should we book an Uber?" Brielle, feeling the lively energy of the city, suggested, "Let's walk." Hazel agreed, "Alright then."

The dynamic duo embarked on their journey, engaging in light banter and laughter along the way. The anticipation of exploring a museum with such a dark theme hung in the air, but Hazel and Brielle were determined to turn it into an experience they'd remember fondly.

As Hazel and Brielle continued their leisurely walk towards the Museum of Death, Brielle's eyes caught a colorful sight that sparked her excitement—a lively ice cream truck stationed in a nearby park. The melodious jingles of the truck, coupled with the laughter of children and the chatter of couples, created a joyful atmosphere.

Unable to resist the temptation, Brielle turned to Hazel with a hopeful look in her eyes and said, "Please..." Hazel, aware of Brielle's knack for enjoying sweet treats during their travels, initially tried to deny the request. However, Brielle's persuasive gaze and infectious enthusiasm proved too hard to resist.

Finally giving in, Hazel chuckled and agreed to buy Brielle an ice cream. Brielle's face lit up with joy, and she exclaimed, "Yay! Saved more money!" Hazel rolled her eyes playfully, "You love making me spend on all our trips." Brielle defended her stance with a mischievous grin, "But hey, I buy us flight tickets, so it's fair." Hazel sighed, conceding defeat, "Yeah, yeah, fine. Let's continue walking."

As they strolled further, Brielle, now happily licking her ice cream, glanced at Hazel and teased, "You sure you don't want some ice cream?" Hazel maintained her resolve, shaking her head, "I'm sure." Brielle shrugged, "Alright then." With her popsicle in hand, Brielle led the way with the biggest smile on her face.

Their laughter echoed through the streets as they approached the entrance of the Museum of Death.

As Hazel turned on her camera, its lens captured the entrance to the Museum of Death. The ominous ambiance of the museum was heightened by the gothic attire and pale makeup of the girl who greeted them. She spoke with an eerie calmness, "Welcome to the Museum of Death. The ticket counter is on the right. Have fun, and also, don't get in the way of the Death God; he might take your soul."

Brielle, ever the enthusiast, responded with a playful shiver, "Oo... spooky." Hazel, holding the camera, couldn't resist making a joke. "I would love to have my soul taken away and die. Honestly, the world is sort of a dark place." She laughed, trying to lighten the mood. Brielle, with a feigned dramatic gasp, replied, "Don't say that! You're my bestie, and you have to live for me." She hugged Hazel, adding, "you're precious to someone."

Hazel, capturing the playful banter on camera, said, "Aww, the reason I'm still alive, but let's indeed continue with the exploration." They headed to the ticket counter, where the girl handed them their tickets with a mysterious smile. With tickets in hand, Hazel, Brielle, and their camera embarked on a journey through the macabre corridors of the Museum of Death.

The exhibits showcased an array of morbid curiosities— from historical artifacts related to death rituals to true crime memorabilia. Hazel, ever the storyteller, started weaving narratives about the items on display. Brielle, despite her initial reluctance, found herself intrigued by the historical significance behind each gruesome artifact.

As they moved from one section to another, the atmosphere within the museum transformed. The lighting dimmed, casting eerie shadows on the displays. Creepy sounds and whispers echoed through the air, enhancing the overall chilling experience. Hazel, with her camera capturing every detail, narrated tales of infamous murderers, unsolved mysteries, and the chilling practices of different cultures.

Their journey led them to a room with a striking centerpiece—an imposing statue representing the Death God. Hazel jokingly said, "Here's the Death God; watch out, Brielle, he might snatch your soul." Brielle playfully gasped, "Oh no, spare me, Death God!" They shared a lighthearted laugh, momentarily forgetting the eerie surroundings.

As they delved deeper into the museum, the exhibits grew darker, showcasing the harsh realities of death and its impact on society. Hazel, maintaining a delicate balance between humor and somber reflection, shared her thoughts on mortality and the importance of appreciating life.

Brielle, initially unsure about the museum's theme, began to appreciate the profound stories behind each display. The juxtaposition of morbidity and historical significance painted a complex picture that both fascinated and gave them pause for thought.

Their exploration continued, each exhibit revealing a unique facet of death's role in human history. The unsettling yet captivating journey through the Museum of Death left them with a blend of emotions, from fascination to introspection.
