The Curse of the Dress

Welcome back boys and girls to another scary tale told by your host with the most Deirdre Stephenson. I am so glad everyone has come back for another scary tale and yes I will make sure this one is just as good as the first one. So do gather around my lovely campfire and do pass around the candy apples and s'mores the tasty treats I made for my listeners. So everyone is comfy? Good we can begin now with the new tale entitled the curse of the dress.-storyteller opens her book once more as she begins to read the next tale.- There is a dress shop somewhere in Haven that sells the latest fashion of dresses for women to want to have. There is one dress that stands out from the rest since the dress is coming from Africa as it is on a mannequin. As the dress remains on the mannequin while shoppers come and go while none of them interested in the dress. One day a young woman only in her twenties came in the store hoping to find a nice dress to wear as she begins looking around. As she is now looking at the one coming from Africa she goes and gets someone that can help her. When she got a worker in the shop she led the woman to the dress saying she would like to try it on to see if it fits if it does she will get it because she is meeting her boyfriends parents. So the woman took the dress off hands it to Sarah Lee who went in the changing room to try on the dress and when she got it on got out of the room to look at herself in the mirror. Well Sarah likes what she sees herself in the dress so she bought it and afterwards went home with it. After the first time Sarah met her boyfriends parents and every time she will meet them she will have that dress on since Toms parents both her in that dress. It was about the sixth time she goes over Tom's house that his parents are now taking photos of her with the dress on because their friends couldn't believe what they are saying about the dress so they are taken photos of Sarah Lee with the African dress on that was meant for evening wear. One day Tom calls up Sarah sounding very much in horror as he couldn't explain on the phone but he has to see her so he does. When Tom got there he was very sweaty while gasping for air like he just ran over as he was holding the photos. At first he was showing the photos well the ones that looked normal that is and when he got to her photos he stated to shake hard as he was showing them to her. At first Sarah couldn't believe what she was seeing because it looked like someone tried to take her head off but only partially. Both Tom and Sarah were lost for words on these photos but to write them off as a screw up in the film only explanation they can come up with. After that day now in the middle of the night Sarah would wake up with a severe neck pain so bad sometimes that she couldn't get out of bed it will be that painful. Sarah would just lay there in tears hoping the pain would go as she tries to rub the area sometimes it will work and she will fall back to sleep. When Sarah has enough of waking up in the middle of the night so she calls her doctor for a visit and lucky she got an early appointment which was two days from now. When the appointment came she told the doctor that she didn't do anything that wasn't normal that would cause her to wake up with a painful neck pain. As the doctor was listening he decides to write up something for the pain as he hands it to her and tells her wait a week of this medicine doesn't improve to call him back she agrees she will. So now before Sarah goes to bed she has a glass of water ready as well as two pills of her painkillers out so when she wakes up in pain be easy to just grab the pills after the water. Since on the medicine Sarah sleeps a lot more very hard for her to get out of bed in the morning so she just sleeps it in. Tom has now been checking in on Sarah since he is aware of her neckaches she suddenly has been having and has very doing his best to help her. One day he went to check on Sarah because he hasn't heard from her all day. When he gets there he notices her door wasn't locked so he goes inside now worried as he calls for her. When he wasn't hearing her call back he goes straight to her room and when he does he lets out a bloody scream as she lays there covered in her own blood while the scene looks like someone came in here during the night trying to remove her head. A week later after the funeral Tom took the dress she had and sold it back where it came from since she barely wore it. That concludes the second story and so no one knew that dress was cursed and that was why Sarah Lee died from at a young age so the curse lives on to take another victim. I do hope you have enjoyed this tale because there is still plenty to come so do bring your friends still plenty of room by my lovely campfire. So this is your host with the most Deirdre Stephenson bid everyone a farewell until next time and don't forget to leave the light on before going to sleep never know what lurks in the dark that will take you away.
