Episode 1: Escape to the Winter Wilderness
Janet and Mark had always dreamed of escaping to the countryside during winter. They longed for respite from city life, a place where they could find solace amid the mountains. In a remote wooden cabin, surrounded by snow-covered trees, their adventure began.
Early days were pure magic. They reveled in skiing, snowboarding, and sharing stories by the warm stove. Love blossomed in the silence of the snow-covered landscape. Each day brought them closer, stronger.
Then, a brutal snowstorm shattered their serenity. The wind roared, snow fell relentlessly. Without power or heat, their dire reality became evident. Supplies dwindled, and survival depended on reaching the nearest town. Janet shivered by the fireplace, staring at the snowstorm outside.
Mark, determined to get help, said, “I have to go to the nearest town, love.”
Janet: “Mark, please be careful out there. It’s getting worse” she said, her voice trembling with worry.
With determination, Mark braved the tempest, his love for Janet driving him. He encountered countless obstacles but pressed on.
As Mark ventured into the tempest, the wind and snow felt like relentless hits on his body. Amid the storm, he spotted bright, evil eyes. Wolves or something else? It didn’t matter; his sole focus was reaching the town for help.
The Approaching Menace
Back at the cabin, anxiety gripped Janet. Strange sounds outside unnerved her. She hoped for Mark’s return, but instead, a gang of masked figures, armed and menacing, surrounded her.
Janet locked doors and windows, praying for Mark’s safety.
Then came three knocks on the door. Knock, knock, knock.
The gang’s leader said, “We don’t want to hurt you, young lady. We only want something from the house. Something that doesn’t belong here. Open the door; it’s freezing out here.”
Janet hesitated. Why were they here in such a storm, armed with guns? she thought.
The gang threatened, “Open the door, or we will break it!”
Janet demanded, “What do you want?”
The gang insisted, “There’s something in the house that doesn’t belong there. We need to claim it for your own good.”
Janet refused to open the door.
Meanwhile, Mark arrived at the deserted town, only to discover Janet’s mysterious disappearance. Tracing her path in the snow, he inadvertently stumbled upon the gang’s hidden lair. Unsettlingly, they were engrossed in a disturbing ritual, centered around a peculiar artifact adorned with cryptic symbols. At its core, a crimson circle resembling an eye. Undeterred, Mark pressed on into the heart of the gang’s lair, taking advantage of their preoccupation with the eerie ritual. Finally he found her.
She was tightly bound with a cloth gagging her mouth.
Mark exclaimed, “I’ve found you, my love. Let’s leave this place immediately.”
Before he could finish his sentence, something strange and evil unfolded outside. Janet and Mark heard a demonic voice, and the gang members screamed for help. Then, they caught a fleeting red glimpse before everything fell into a deadly silence.
Emerging from the lair, they found no one, just the artifact and blood marks.
Mark, bewildered, asked, “Where is everyone? What happened here?”
“They were after this damn artifact. We have to destroy it.”
Janet: “Give it to me, My love. I will bury it where no one can ever find it.”
A Choice Made in Winter’s Chill
But Janet kept the artifact, feeling its malevolent power. Their journey through the winter storm had changed them, just as the artifact had changed everything. No one was the same after…
