The Ghost Town

 


Once upon a time, there was a desolated city called the ghost town that has always been famous for its horror tales. Although there were too many theories of that place, no one has entered to verify if they were true.


But the question is, why is it called a ghost town or why does no one enter to verify what they say about it? They always take it for granted that it is haunted by sorcerers like those in the movie Harry Potter and that is why nobody lives there,  but this is the truth...



FLASHBACK

It was a sunny day on the outskirts of Milu, everyone was singing, dancing, laughing and having fun like every day. Everyone was so happy that no one knew the meaning of sadness or concern, being a country with too much motivation and passion for the things they did in their day to day. However, one day the community decided to have a party in which all the people, not only from the joyous city but from all over the world, were going to be invited, so that they could all get to know the culture of the happy town.



Days passed until the moment of the great party, that generated excitement and intrigue in people arrived. The guests came with their best clothes to show off their wealth and influence in the world but the people of the happy city did not care about that, for them the material was something that should not be given much importance, so they ignored those aspects. What foreigners could not ignore was the fact that the party was not like others and the people were not like the people they were used to be with.



Foreigners were outraged by the strange party where they were called without regarding any class; despite that, were invited to leave as soon as possible, since they couldn't stand any more time in that place, not without first being making fun of their inhabitants because they did not have long dresses or expensive jewelry, only simple dresses made by themselves.


Then the inhabitants began to feel bad for the fact of being different from others, that is to say inferior, and for the first time they felt sadness and disappointment. For the first time the happy city was mired in sadness and anger. So to get revenge, they decided to bewitch all the people who discriminated against them ,so that they would regret what they did to them.


The inhabitants of the happy city became evil spirits, of resentment and hate, cursing every individual who enters their city, for that reason there was no happy city anymore, stead it was called the ghost city because only those who went unnoticed as ghosts could get out of it alive.



END OF FLASHBACK


What once was of this place disappeared with the time and with it the people of happy heart and mind. Although nobody believed at first the story of the ghost city, when they approached this area it looked desolated and with a nightmare atmosphere like in horror movies, so anyone dared to enter.


because once you enter, you never leave...
