Inspired by the myths of vampires committing mass murders in downtown Detroit.

-----

Comet gas station is as ordinary as any other convenience store in downtown Detroit- old and pretty much ignored. 

Teenager Jackson has the pleasure of working every shift in the summer with his middle-aged co-worker, Joel. With this kind of schedule, he's able to recognize regular customers and witness strange phenomena. 

This night is no different. When a strange girl strolls into the store near closing-time, Jackson's curiosity is peaked. She is inhumanly gorgeous. 
However, something is off. Hollow cheeks. Sunken eye sockets. Extremely pale skin and incisors that could be seen peeking out of her mouth? Not exactly comforting observations. 

Are all the speculations surrounding this area valid? 

Jackson sure thinks they aren't.

An old folktale that was just a bedtime story to many children who love the taste of murder-mystery or fear. In other ways, the best remedy is to put their children off to sleep. But, not every folktale is true but what if it becomes a reality? This could erase the existence of science. Everything disappears to dust and there's no way that you can retrieve the real facts because it's too late. This story is not about quantum reality but a folktale which was said to be just a bedtime story turns out to be a reality in this small town known as Brightbury located in the countryside to the east of London, blessed with magnificent waterfalls and nature is always grateful to the people of Brightbury. But, even though it's blessed with the beauty of nature, the town shares a dark history that was buried by the government to tackle the financial crisis. Everyone knows the truth but no one can reveal it to any tourist. Not every story has a happy ending or sad ending, but everything is just a mystery. Well, this story will reveal the mysterious scenes which are highly depicted in the past. The whole town experiences the pain of suffocation as the truth is finally revealed to the world but the question is do the town suppress the truth or does the world aides them to safety? It's not easy to trust anyone in this story, but how the world works is different. The truth, the betrayal, the hope, the friendship, the trust, the loyalty, and everything is shattered due to some folktale. They say it haunts children but as an evolution of the world is possible, the evolution of monsters is possible. Things are not the same as it was but the question of the story is will they survive or perish?

In the heart of a forgotten town stands Ravenshade Hospital, a long-abandoned institution shrouded in dark legend. Its crumbling walls and broken windows hide more than just decay-they hold the restless spirits of those who died within, their tormented souls never able to escape. Over the years, countless groups of curious teens have ventured inside, drawn by the hospital's eerie reputation, but none have ever returned. Whispers tell of strange sounds in the halls, flickering lights, and shadowy figures that stalk the living. One fateful night, a group of teens, eager for thrills, dares to enter Ravenshade. They explore its haunted corridors, their laughter quickly turning to fear as the building seems to come alive around them. One by one, they vanish, as if swallowed by the very walls. Only Lily, a terrified but determined teen, manages to flee. She stumbles out into the cold night, heart pounding, and makes her way to the nearest airport, desperate to escape the nightmare that haunts her. Lily boards a plane, believing she has outrun the terror of Ravenshade. But as the plane soars into the night sky, the weight of what she has witnessed takes its toll.

The hospital's curse followed her, and in the end, it claimed her life as well, leaving behind only the chilling reminder that some places are never meant to be left behind.
