Welcome back to Walking Dread, your daily dose of spooky stories!
Tonight, we’re talking about a guy named William, who just wanted a gardening gig – but ended up inheriting a whole lot more than he bargained for. See, this wasn’t just any garden. This was a garden of souls, where the flowers were blooming with a sinister secret!
Turns out, the gorgeous flowers William was hired to tend were actually powered by the trapped souls of the estate's former inhabitants. Can you imagine? Each beautiful blossom was a prisoner! Being the kind soul he was, William couldn’t turn a blind eye. Using his granny's mystical know-how (because what granny doesn’t have a book of spells lying around, right?), he tries to set the spirits free.
But there’s a twist! Instead of banishing the curse, William ends up absorbing it, becoming the garden's new caretaker, in a supernatural sense. His body becomes a vessel for the souls, and their spectral energy is now a part of him! Talk about a bad performance review!
So, what happens to William? Is he doomed to spend eternity as a flower-powered battery pack? Not quite. He finds a strange sort of peace in his fate, becoming a guardian of the garden and ensuring the souls have a bizarre, but beautiful, afterlife.
Tune in to find out how William's sacrifice allows him to connect with the souls he saved, witnessing their joy and even hearing their laughter on the wind! But don’t get too comfy - remember, there’s always a price to pay in the world of Walking Dread!
