Eclipse of the Night

On a crisp night, under the bewitching glow of a full moon, two inseparable friends, Lailah and V, set out to celebrate by exploring their small town's eerie, forgotten places. The air is filled with a mixture of excitement and haunting adrenaline as the two embark on their adventure to celebrate Lailah’s favorite self-proclaimed holiday, Friday the 13th. Their journey leads them to a serene lake where an old, rundown dam stands like a sentinel over the water. As they cross a creaky bridge, they stumble upon an ancient, mysterious door embedded in the dam’s decaying structure. 

Intrigued by its cryptic inscription, Lailah reads the words aloud. Sarcastically, V re-reads the inscription, correcting Lailah’s pronunciation. Suddenly, the door shimmers with an otherworldly light. Before they know it, it creaks open slowly, beckoning them to step through. Hesitantly, they enter and find themselves in a desolate, eerie building marked by the wear of time and humanity. 

As they venture through this post-apocalyptic world, it becomes apparent that this strange realm is a shattered reflection of their own. The building is a mix of decayed technology and forgotten memories, and the outside, an overgrown wasteland, disturbingly quiet and still. 

In a hurried attempt to return to their world, they realize that the door has vanished, leaving them trapped in this dystopian reality. 

With no way back and the pressure mounting, Lailah and V must navigate the ruins of this unfamiliar world, uncovering its secrets and facing hidden perils to forge a new path home. Along the way, they find clues that suggest their arrival was no accident and that their actions here might impact their own reality. 

As they delve deeper into the mysteries of the building and the world beyond, they must rely on their friendship and wits to survive, solve the enigma of the door, and hopefully find a way back before they are forever lost in the shadows of the full moon’s curse.
