The New Bride



During a wedding reception of a young couple, the guests decided on a drunken game of hide and seek. It was decided that the groom was “it”, and he eventually found everyone but his new bride. Eventually the man became furious and decided it wasn’t funny anymore and left her there.

As weeks went by he accepted that she’d had second thoughts and went on with her life, so he did the same. A few years later, a cleaning lady dusted off an old trunk in the attic of the building where the reception had taken place. Out of curiosity, she opened it. Inside the trunk was the rotting body of the missing bride who’d apparently became locked in the trunk she’d hid in.

Whether she’d suffocated or starved was unknown, but her face was frozen in a scream, and there were huge scratches in the inside of the trunk where she had tried to get back to the man she loved.
