Chapter Text
haunted chords
A small town in Canada named ‘Cornesfield’ was known for having few houses and a shack in the woods. A woman who was a bassist once lived in the shack but moved out 2 years before her death. After her death,reports flooded in about her staying behind secretly and taking children. A sheriff went to investigate but he found nothing,no corpses or evidence. He left and said to himself “them kids are pranking me!” as he continued a walk back to town,he heard it. A bass guitar playing a mundane tone. He turned his head and returned to the house. Checking the room with the guitar he saw no pic,no chair,no player,no AMP,just a stand and a guitar. The strings were moving on their own. He took out his notepad and wrote ‘3 chords(Em,A and E) and no other evidence of why or how it’s playing. A breath ran down his neck and then he heard a voice ask “how do you know those chords?” Then he turned to see nothing. He heard the guitar and ran out of the house screaming. He ran until he hit the gazebo bench,taking a seat he noticed something. No lights were on in the 25 houses,no people just basses playing those same chords. He checked all the houses but no furniture, just the same stand and moving guitar. Running to sit in the gazebo once more,scared out of his mind,it got louder. Loud guitars blasting through a once lively town. Years later the town was normal,bustling with human life but a new sheriff. The same event happened with him but then,the town was abandoned for 10 long years. The sheriff from back then,now going by the name Jameson,checked the shack again. The guitar began but now the chords were different. He ignored it and walked out to the town. No sound,no people,no life or color. Just bases booming with the same 3 chords as the shack base. He ran through each house,all 26 and broke every guitar. Once the guitar was broken,souls flew out of each fret. Souls were trapped,each strum was a different victim of the guitar. As all the souls left,so did the sheriff,the town returned back to normal and the guitar was only ever heard from the shack in the woods.
