The Cursed Dress

*The Cursed Dress* The night was cold, shadows stretching across narrow alleyways as you sought an unfamiliar shortcut home. That’s when you saw it—a small, dimly-lit vintage shop nestled between crumbling buildings. Something pulled you inside. Among the cluttered shelves, your gaze froze on a dress—a deep crimson gown, its lace intricate and dark, radiating an almost hypnotic allure. You couldn’t look away. “That’s Lady Diane’s dress,” the keeper murmured, his tone uneasy. “She cursed it before her death. Every time it leaves, it always comes back. Are you sure you want it?” Despite his warning, you didn’t hesitate. The dress felt like it was meant for you. You brought it home. But as the fabric touched your skin, reality shifted. Darkness consumed you, and your thoughts spiraled. When your vision returned, you were somewhere unfamiliar—a hauntingly beautiful yet decayed manor. A gilded mirror reflected your image: You wore the gown. No longer yourself, you had become Lady Diane. Her memories clawed at the edges of your mind as a creeping dread filled the air. You needed answers. Who was she? What was her story? Why had she cursed this dress? Torn between Diane’s fragmented thoughts and your own fading sense of self, you raced to uncover the truth. Time was against you. The longer you wore the dress, the closer you came to losing yourself entirely—and to meeting her tragic end. Solve the mystery. Break the curse. Or face Diane’s dark destiny forever.
