text: There were six friends, three boys and three girls. The boys were Cooper the football-obsessed blonde, Hector the anxious nerd and Grant the detective wannabe, and the girls were Sally the gentle goth, Emily the chubby asian and Melissa the ginger hippie. They went to explore an abandoned church, a church where multiple priests and nuns died due to gruesome yet unknown circumstances, what makes their deaths more odd and mysterious was that they all died in one day after leaving this church. Cooper, Hector and Grant were busy searching around the place while Sally, Emily and Melissa chit-chatted. After for only a few minutes, Cooper decides that it's time to leave as this place isn't interesting but then Melissa called out to her friends, saying that she found something "cool". The boys and girls gathered to see what Melissa had just found; it was a poem, written on an ancient piece of paper, the words were written in "red ink". "Read it!" Grant politely demanded Melissa, after clearing her throat, she read the following: "The Man In Red will SPREAD a plague that claims five lives but leaves one. The Man In Red will visit the lucky one with a feeling of DREAD and evil. The Man In Red will follow the lucky one all day until they're DEAD. The Man In Red will go back into rest until another MISLEAD fool discovers him". "Oookay... That's edgy" Emily says, unnerved of what the poem said, "Oh, don't be such a wuss, Emily! It's just a stupid plain poem!" Cooper laughed. Then the six decide to leave the church for now. The next morning, Melissa made herself breakfast and turned on the news, only to discover that some horrible things happened to her friends. Cooper had somehow broken his entire spine and neck during training, Hector had died of a heart attack, Grant was brutally beaten to death, Sally hanged for herself for unknown reasons and Emily became a victim of a shooting. Melissa couldn't believe what happened, it left her in sadness and shock, how did they all die in one day? Then she remembered the words "The Man In Red will SPREAD a plague that claims five but leaves one". Then the living room turned red, it wasn't her vision, everything was literally turning to red like blood. Melissa was confused and afraid, she didn't know what was happening, then she noticed a thick puddle of blood, she was about to touch when the puddle of blood suddenly started to vibrate and bubble up, then "he" rose from the puddle. It was so-called "The Man In Red" but didn't really look like a man, it was an amorphous mass of red slime taking a humanoid shape, it was tall like a street lamp, it only had empty eye sockets and a toothless mouth. Melissa was paralysed with dread, then whatever this abomination was, leaned over and stared at her with it's black voids for eyes. "**YOU'RE..... LUCKY.....**" The Man In Red said with a calm yet distorted and demonic voice. As she closes her eyes and opens them again, the creature and the redness were gone, but Melissa realised something; The Man In Red will always follow her for the rest of her life. It has been about eight years and Melissa couldn't take it anymore, she had took her own life in her apartment. One day, a young boy and seven of his friends were walking home from school when the boy finds a piece of paper on the ground, it's a poem. He picks it up and reads it; "The Man In Red will SPREAD a plague that claims seven but leaves only one. The Man In Red will visit the lucky with a feeling of DREAD and evil. The Man In Red will follow the lucky one until they're dead. The Man In Red will rest until another MISLEAD fool discovers him".
