MidReal Story

Whispers of the Haunted Box

Scenario:Make a love horror story like this. **The Whispering Box** Lila loved scavenging flea markets for unique treasures. That’s where she found it—a small, ornate wooden box with intricate carvings of faces frozen mid-scream. It was dirt cheap, and the vendor, an old woman with trembling hands, almost begged her to take it. “It likes attention,” the old woman whispered, eyes darting nervously. Lila laughed it off as a sales tactic. At home, she placed the box on her shelf and posted a quick TikTok about it: *"Found this creepy box at a flea market. What do you guys think it was used for? #spookyfind #haunted"* The comments poured in: *"That thing looks cursed."* *"Burn it!"* *"Open it on camera!"* Never one to back down, Lila made another video the next day, this time live-streaming as she opened the box. Inside was a single, yellowed note. Scribbled in shaky handwriting were the words: *“Do not listen to the whispers.”* Her audience ate it up. Some begged her to destroy it, while others insisted it was just a prank. But that night, Lila started hearing things. Soft whispers floated through her apartment. At first, she thought it was her neighbors, but the voices were too close, too… *intimate.* They called her name, over and over, just on the edge of hearing. When she turned her head, the whispers stopped. Determined to prove she wasn’t imagining it, Lila set up her phone to record while she slept. In the morning, she reviewed the footage. At first, nothing. Just her tossing and turning. But then, around 3 a.m., the whispers started again. This time, the camera caught them. Shadows pooled in the corners of her room, moving in unnatural ways. A voice, raspy and guttural, hissed, *“Closer…”* A blackened hand slid out of the box on her shelf, curling its fingers against the wood. The video went viral overnight. Millions watched, speculating whether it was real or an elaborate hoax. But Lila didn’t post again. Her followers grew concerned. Some even tried tracking her down. Two weeks later, the police entered her apartment. It was empty, except for the box, now closed. On the box was a new note: *“It likes attention.”* That evening, the police officer who had taken the box home uploaded a TikTok. “Look at this creepy thing I found in an abandoned apartment. What do you think it was used for?”

I was a bitch to please.
I knew that.
And I also knew that the flea market had nothing to offer me.
I rummaged through the old man’s table, his wrinkled face a picture of despair.
He knew he’d never sell anything of value to me again, and yet, he continued to throw his trash at me, hoping I’d bite.
I moved on.
The next table had nothing but crystals and tarot cards.
Witches and hippies were the worst.
They tried to sell you garbage while feeding you lies about how it would change your life.
I snorted and moved on.
The rest of the tables were similar.
Junk here, trash there, with maybe an antique or two sprinkled in.
Nothing worth my time.
Until I saw the box.
It was old.
The wood was cracked and decaying, the carvings on the top almost obscured by a thick layer of dust.
But as I picked it up, I knew this was what I had been looking for.
"What’s this?"
Whispers of the Haunted Box
The old man’s eyes darted to the box, and he gasped.
"It’s cursed, you know."
I smirked.
"Is that so?"
He nodded.
"Been in my family for years. My grandmother used to lock it in her basement. She said it was evil."
I raised an eyebrow.
"Then why are you selling it?"
Whispers of the Haunted Box
He shrugged.
"I don’t have a basement."
I snorted.
"You’re not even a good liar."
He looked at me with pleading eyes.
"Please, miss. Don’t take it. It’ll bring you nothing but trouble."
I laughed.
"Nothing but trouble? That sounds like fun."
I handed him the money, and he took it reluctantly.
As I walked away, I felt a thrill of excitement.
I’d finally found something worth my time.
Something mysterious and unknown.
Something that would make everyone jealous.
I couldn’t wait to show it off to Sarah and Mark.
They were my partners in crime, and they’d be just as thrilled as I was.
We’d been searching for something like this for months, and now, we’d finally found it.
That night, I placed the box on my shelf and waited for my friends to arrive.
"Are you really going to buy that?" my friend Lisa asked, eyeing the box warily.
"Of course," I replied, a mischievous grin spreading across my face.
Lisa shook her head, her voice dropping to a whisper. "You know this isn't just another one of your games, right? What if he's telling the truth?"
Whispers of the Haunted Box
"Then it'll be fun, won't it?"
I said, buying the box and tucking it under my arm.
Lisa rolled her eyes and followed me out of the market.
We were going to have so much fun with this thing.
Sarah and I arrived at Lila’s apartment, both of us curious about the box.
Lila had been acting strange all week, and we were determined to figure out why.
She opened the door, looking like she hadn’t slept in days.
"Hey," she mumbled, stepping aside to let us in.
Whispers of the Haunted Box
"What’s going on?"
Sarah asked, sitting on the couch.
Lila hesitated, and for a moment, I thought she was going to tell us to leave.
But then she sighed and pulled out her phone.
She scrolled through until she found what she was looking for and handed it to me.
I watched as a video loaded on the screen.
It was dark at first, but then I saw Lila lying in bed.
The camera shook a little as she sat up and looked around the room.
She looked confused, and then she gasped.
I heard a voice whispering her name, over and over again.
It sent chills down my spine.
"What is this?"
I breathed.
Lila's voice trembled as she replied, "It's been happening every night since I brought the box home."
Sarah leaned forward, eyes wide. "You mean this thing is haunting you?"
Before Lila could answer, a loud crash echoed from the bedroom, making us all jump to our feet.
Whispers of the Haunted Box
"What was that?"
Sarah breathed, her eyes darting to the bedroom door.
Lila shook her head, and I grabbed her arm, pulling her with me as I walked into the room.
The first thing I saw was that the box had been knocked off her shelf.
The lid was open, and the contents were scattered around the floor.
Lila hesitated, her hand trembling as she reached for the items.
I knelt beside her, looking at the things she’d gathered.
There were a few old photographs, an antique key, and a note.
Whispers of the Haunted Box
It was worn and faded, but the words "Do not listen to the whispers" were still legible.
I frowned.
"What does it mean?"
Lila shook her head again, her breath catching in her throat.
Whispers of the Haunted Box
I looked up to see Mark standing in the doorway, his face white as a sheet.
Sarah stood beside him, staring at something on the floor behind us.
I followed their gaze to a new note, lying on the ground amidst the debris of Lila’s shelf.
The handwriting was shaky, but I could still read the words: "It feeds on fear."
Lila’s breath hitched in her throat, panic rising in her eyes.
Whispers of the Haunted Box
"What are we going to do?"
Sarah whispered.
Lila shook her head, her eyes welling up with tears.
Mark stepped forward, his face determined.
"We’re going to figure out what’s going on."
He looked at Lila, his voice softening.
"We’ll get through this, okay?"
Lila nodded, wiping her eyes.
We gathered in the living room, the box ominously sitting on the table in front of us.
Lila told us everything she’d experienced since she brought it home.
The whispers had started as a soft hum in the back of her mind, but they’d grown louder and more persistent over time.
She could hear them even when she was awake now, calling her name over and over again.
Mark leaned forward, his brow furrowed in concentration.
"I think we should record another video."
Lila’s eyes widened in horror.
"Are you kidding? That’s what started all of this!"
"But we didn’t capture anything conclusive," he argued.
"If we set up a camera and catch something concrete, we might be able to figure out what’s going on."
Sarah frowned, looking unconvinced.
"I don’t know…"
But then she looked at Lila and sighed.
"Okay. Let’s do it."
We set up the camera in Lila's bedroom, the box still sitting ominously on the table.
As the night wore on, we sat in silence, the tension thick in the air, waiting for something—anything—to happen.
Suddenly, the whispers began again, but this time they weren't calling Lila's name; they were calling mine.
