The Wedding Night — Chapter 1
Overview
During a violent storm on the island, the wedding reception is plunged into darkness, stoking panic among guests. When the lights return, the scene is chaotic, with signs of injury and excess. Trapped by the weather, the guests hear a terrifying scream, escalating the sense of imminent danger.
Summary
A sudden blackout plunges the wedding reception tents into darkness as a storm batters the island. Guests panic in the confusion, the wind shaking the structure while doors flap and torches gutter. The outage lasts longer than before, deepening the sense that something is wrong.
When the power flickers back, embarrassment replaces fear as guests see themselves crouched for safety. The restored light reveals a disordered scene: wine splatters, champagne bottles everywhere, and a pair of abandoned sandals. The elaborate cake stands partly carved, its deep red interior exposed.
The Irish band strikes up to revive the mood, and guests drift toward the dance tent. Amid the rush, unnoticed bloody footprints cross the floor where a barefoot guest stepped on broken glass. Many linger within the tents, reluctant to face the raging storm outside, and no one can leave the island until the wind subsides.
Then a rising sound from outside pierces the noise—a scream that escalates until unmistakable. The guests freeze, their fear returning stronger than before as the celebration turns ominous and threatening.
