Alex was usually the timid one amidst his friends; a teenager engrossed with high school hurdles, extracting mirth out of comic books and solace from his piano. Yet all of it altered when he encountered Alyssa, a charming, effervescent girl who was surprisingly keen to be his girlfriend. A love-stricken Alex born out of the union of excitement and confusion, naively believed that he was the focus of Alyssa's affection, completely unsuspecting of the macabre plan behind the facade.
Behind the scenes, a secret unfolded; Alyssa was performing her duties at the behest of her despairing mother. Mrs. Dupont, now a forty-something matriarch to three children, was frantically clinging to the embers of her youth. Finding no solace in the conventional realm, she turned to her extensive but prohibited knowledge of the occult, hinged to a dreadful belief — she could transit her soul into a youthful another's body.
Mrs. Dupont's desperate pursuit of manipulated youth led her to command Alyssa into lure. Obligated by the unexpressed yet significant pressure of her mother's request, Alyssa undertook her assigned role in the heartrending play, despite the anguish it caused her.
Months progressively turned the pages of a seemingly ordinary youthful romance. Alex, blissfully oblivious of the sinister scheme, glided through the force of first love. Then arrived the fateful night that shrouded Alyssa’s house in an ominous blanket of dread, camouflaging the diabolic plot inside. As Alex walked into it, the wily Mrs. Dupont was ready inside, with her lips twisted into a menacing smile, while her eyes danced with monotous glee.
She had summoned the spirits and prepared the ceremonial layout. Uncountable eclectic objects, each with a unique mystic significance, surrounded the grand spiritual circle. At its center, a chair lay vacant, soaked with the ominous energy reverberating inside the room. It was for Alex, the unsuspecting lamb being led to the unspeakable spiritual slaughter.
Cloaked in the comforting arm of ignorance, Alex was unaware of the horror that was soon to unfurl. His heart raced out of affectionate anticipation, entirely oblivious of the dreadful fate awaiting him. As he stepped into the room, the eerie ambience spasmed around him. It roared for his retreat, but the love-struck 16-year-old dismissed it all as the humming anxiety of meeting his girlfriend's family. Soon, he obligingly settled into the vacant chair, his world teetering on the rim of a dangerous precipice.
In the corner of the room, Alyssa, a delicate victim of her mother's nefarious desire, bit her lip to hold back the sobs that threatened to spill. She wished to warn him, wished to shatter the monstrous plan. But alas, the shadows of fear held her hostage, silencing her outcries with unspoken threats.
The drawn-out minutes that followed shrunk to intense seconds, with a spine-chilling silence underlining the slow clock ticks. The moment of the body exchange was closing in, unraveling a perilous path riddled with tortured remorse and echoing the desperate pleas of a stolen youth.
