Cursed Iris

So you found it, huh. The page of your nightmares. What is seen cannot be unseen.

You are walking through a forest, the breeze is gentle, the smell is earthy. You hear the singing of an iris off in the distance, you smile. As you listen you suddenly stop and a cold sweat breaks out on your skin.... the iris is singing slightly off key..... ... you take a step back and a branch cracks under foot. The singing stops and you hear a rustling in front of you. you turn to run but you trip over a rock, you fall. You start crawling when suddenly you see a hand snake around the trunk of a tree in front of you....
You scream as the world fades to black

you sit down t read and unwind after a long day. its a cool night so you leave the windows open for a natural breeze. you hear the gentle singing of an iris and smile as you crack open the book. half an hour passes and you suddenly sit bolt upright.. the iris is singing slightly off key. you rush around the house slamming windows shut and closing the curtains you turn the lights off..... ... you huddle in your room, heart beating fast... the singing stops. you sigh with reliefe and creep down to the living room to get your book, and perhaps read a ittle more buy candle light. you get a few pages in when you hear a soft scratching. your pulse quickens. you run upstairs to your room... he scratching gets louder... thedoor handle turns......

you sit on the bus, reading a romance novel as the lies and struggles you once lived remain in the dust behind you. you glance out the window watching the scenery go by and sigh as a baby starts crying behind you. you put in headphones and turn on some music and go back to reading... ...5 minutes later your phone chimes... low battery, you sigh and remove the headphones as you turn it off and continue to read. you turn a page only to realize you can steal here music... music that soundly slightly off key. you look around the buss and notice that there are suddenly no other passengers... you start to call out to the driver only to notice the singing is coming from them.... the driver turns towards the noise you made....

its your 21st birthday, you are in a club, dancing with friends, the music plays loudly, the drinks flow like waterfalls. your group moves to table, your friends bring out a cake, the entire club sings happy birthday before cake is throw into your face. 9 shots later you find yourself stumbling to the bathroom to wash off the cake and make some room for more drinks. after rinsing your face you sit on the toilet, the music thumps in the background as you pass out... ... you come too a minute later, the music seems to have stopped, and th enise of the club is gone. you stumble out of the bathroom and come face to face with people just standing there silently, a soft slightly off key song plays over the speakers. you shove your way past people caught in a trance as you near the dance floor the slightly off key music gets louder, your body starts to feel heavy, yu shoulder your way through the crowd to find your friends but stop as motion on the stage catches your attention.. you turn to see who is singing...
