The Opened Path
"What do you mean you want to go, what if it's dangerous?" Emily said looking at Audrey " "Come on it looks fun plus we haven't been out in a while. Please just do it for me" Audrey pleaded while giving her puppy eyes knowing that she'll agree. "Ugh- fine but just this once.
Audrey and Emily have been best friends for a couple years now and they were unstoppable. They did everything together even live together now. Yesterday when Audrey arrived back home she noticed something on her doorstep she got a closer look and realized it was a random white envelope with a black stamp on it instead of the normal red stamp. She got a bit curious as one would after seeing this on their doorstep, before opening it right away she decided to wait on Emily so they could open it together.
When everyone settled down, they finally opened the letter and begin reading it. "Dear Audrey and Emily" She started ' There are evenings in life that feels ordinary, and then there are those that linger in your memory long after they've ended." They both looked at each other as the letter creeped them out already, but they kept reading. 'I hope this letter finds you both in good spirits, and that you'll forgive the unusual way I've decided to reach out to you.' She moved the paper up a bit reading the rest.
'I've been meaning to have you both over for what I can only describe as a special evening. A night of fine company, good conversations, and a setting unlike any other setting you've seeing. It's not something I host often so I would be honored if you both could make the time join me.' 'The details are truly simple, though I'll leave the rest to your imaginations. Dress for occasion in your most elegant attire- formal wear, with a touch of mystery or a little twist if I may say. A masquerade is a must; it adds something special don't you think?'
They both scan their eyes over the location, the date and the time of this event as it was just written down and not in your normal story format. Audrey continued reading the rest of the letter. 'I do hope you'll both make it to this unforgettable event. It would be a shame to have such lovely company go uncelebrated. P.S.Please keep this invitation between us for now'
They both looked at each other after reading the mysterious letter that was left on their doorstep. "I don't know about you, but this letter is creeping me out" Emily said after Audrey rested the letter down trying to process everything. "Yeah, but it's worth a shot, isn't it?
