Creepy horror story

in #story7 years ago

Whilst investigating the death of a local shopkeeper, a special lawyer called Una Chen uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, tattered map circulating throughout Scotland. As soon as anyone uses the map, he or she has exactly 124 days left to live.
The doomed few appear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look mirrored. A marked person feels like an icy kitten to touch.
Una gets hold of the map, refusing to believe the superstition. A collage of images flash into her mind: a fat rat balancing on a curvaceous shopkeeper, an old newspaper headline about a boating accident, a hooded frog ranting about lips and a drinking well located in an urban place.
When Una notices her abs have kitten-like properties, she realises that the curse of the tattered map is true and calls in her friend, a teacher called Reginald Smart, to help.
Reginald examines the map and willingly submits himself to the curse. He finds that the same visions flash before his eyes. He finds the fat rat balancing on a curvaceous shopkeeper particularly chilling. He joins the queue for a supernatural death.
Una and Reginald pursue a quest to uncover the meaning of the visions, starting with a search for the hooded frog. Will they be able to stop the curse before their time is up?
