The Music Box

Late at night, a persistent tapping echoed through Emma's apartment. Investigating, she found an old music box on her doorstep. Intrigued, she wound it up. Melancholic notes filled the room, and shadows danced eerily. As the music played, a ghostly figure materialized, whispering forgotten secrets. Panic gripped Emma as the apparition drew closer. Desperate, she stopped the music. Silence fell, but the ghost remained. Now bound to the cursed melody, Emma's world became a nightmare. Each night, the haunting tune played on its own, and the ghostly presence grew stronger. Forever trapped in her home, Emma realized she was the music box's new prisoner.
