The Dress Manhua

As the clock struck midnight, Emily felt a chill run down her spine. The once alluring red dress now clung to her like a heavy shroud, suffocating her. Whispers filled the room, taunting her with her deepest fears and desires. Her reflection in the mirror no longer resembled the confident woman from earlier, but a haunted soul trapped in a nightmare. With trembling hands, she tried to unzip the dress, but it refused to budge. Panic gripped her heart as she realized the dress was not ready to release its hold on her. The ghostly figure materialized behind her, its cold breath on her neck sending shivers through her body. In a desperate attempt to break free, Emily closed her eyes and fought against the suffocating grip of the dress. With a final surge of strength, she tore the fabric apart, freeing herself from its cursed embrace. As the dress fell to the ground in tatters, the room fell silent, the whispers fading into the night. Breathing heavily, Emily looked around the empty ballroom, the remnants of the cursed dress scattered at her feet. She knew she had narrowly escaped a fate worse than death, but the memories of that night would haunt her forever. And as she fled the antique shop, she couldn't shake the feeling that the dress's malevolent spirit still lingered, waiting for its next victim to succumb to its twisted allure.
