SwagMeow in your area!
Whoo! That was a pretty wild ride, wasn't it? Now let me tell you a secret, the first draft of this story was completed writing last year. Imma be honest with you, I had great expectations for it in the beginning but towards the half, my motivation diminished.
But anyhow, the story is finished now and it had helped me practice my writing a lot! So time to celebrate!
Now if I was being honest, I did think of a horror sequel idea for Veiled even though I intend to leave this story at a cliffhanger just to torture y'all's minds and ykw? I think I'm going to do just that. Torture you! So... are you excited.
Let's begin the dialogue preview of Haunted.
A sequel that you will never read... and one that I would never write.
* * *
Cue: A cheerful tune...
[Distant murmur of traffic.]
"So you forgot our anniversary, Si? Just you wait. You don't know what's coming for you. Trust me, once I'm done with you, you won't even realize what hit y-"
Squeaaaalchhhhhhhh!
"Hoseok! What was that?!"
"Nothing! Just almost ran over a jaywalker."
"Focus on your traffic then! I'm hanging up- Beep."
"Honey, wait-" Stupid pedestrians won't even let me flirt with my wife.
.
.
.
"You were just here, Seokie, Why are you standing there?"
"Honey... that wasn't me."
[Ominous music ascending.]
Water dripping.
[Water splashes.]
Water leaking out the bathroom door.
"Si, what's going on in there? Open the door! OPEN THE DOOR, SIA!"
Bang! BANG! BANG!
"Hoseok, why are pounding down the door? I was in the kitchen!"
"Honey... your nose. It's bleeding."
"What?"
[Haunting piano music.]
"Mom, dad's been acting super weird."
"It must be the stress, Jian."
"No. It's like super weird. Weirder than usual."
"Hmm... you know what? Why don't you talk to him?"
"Ehhh, me and dad don't get along."
"Why's that?"
Cuz we're in a secret competition for your attention. "Cuz, I like you more, Mom."
"Flattery won't get you out of this, Jian."
.
.
.
"Jian. Magic won't solve your problems."
"Well, I think it does."
.
.
.
[Tires squealing.]
HOOONKKK!!!
"SIA GET OUT OF THE WAY!"
"Is this the husband of Sia Jung? Sir, your wife has been in a critical accident-"
"SIA, NO! NO! NO!"
"Hoseok?"
"They're all dead. I think I killed them, Hoseok. I couldn't control it. It was as if ... Hoseok, I think I killed them!"
"SIA JUNG, GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!!"
[Beats pulsing. Orchestral music intensifies.]
"Hoseok, I think something's going on. Something's wrong..."
"Everything will be fine, Sia."
"ADREAN! ADREAN! JIAN, HE'S GONE! IT'S THE VILE ONE! HE'S BACK! Hoseok isn't picking up! I- I don't know what to do-"
"Hey-hey! Jian's right here. I told you he was staying over. Remember?"
"...then who was that in the bedroom."
[Horns blaring.]
[Bass booming.]
"Aww, look at this little thing~ He looks just like me. Isn't that adorable?"
"VILE ONE. He is not yours!"
. . .
"Are you sure about that?"
[Rain crashing down.]
[Dial tone rings.]
{...Hello, Si?}
{Honey! It's Jian! He is the Vile O- BEep. Beep. Beep.}
.
.
.
"Daddy...
Mommy's gone.
What would you do now?"
"You killed her!"
[Glass shatters. Thunder rages.]
Magis Aeternum...
"YAAAAArrrrgh!!"
"You'll kill your own son? You are a horrible father."
"You murdered you own mother!"
"You never loved me, did you? You always loved mom more."
"STOP!"
[Laughter rings.]
"Honey, isn't this so perfect? I wish time would stop here."
"You can pause it if you want, Dad."
"Shut up, Jian. That's not how it works."
"Hoseok, it's perfect... but we need to move on.
I need to go back.
I need to leave."
[Orchestral music intensifies. Beat pulses.]
[Silence.]
"HOSEOK DON'T! HE'S OUR SON!"
HAUNTED.
A story you will never read...
