Bride and Seek


During the wedding reception of a young couple, the guests decided to play a drunken game of hide and seek. It was decided that the groom was “it” and he eventually found everyone except his new bride.

The longer he searched the more frusturated he became and he was soon furious thinking she had left. He decided the game wasn’t funny anymore and went home without his bride. 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 rotted body of the missing bride who’d apparently became locked in the trunk she’d chosen to hide in. Whether she’d suffocated or starved was unknown, but her face was frozen in a scream.
