The Haunting Melody

Write about a serene, melody that at the midnight hour, takes on a chilling tone and seems to be warning those who can hear it.

Music has a profound effect on our emotions, but what if it carries an ominous message? It might be coming from an old music box, a forgotten vinyl record, or even a tolling church bell. The possibility of interpretation, the desperate search for meaning, and the confrontation with the horrific truth can weave a captivating horror narrative. Does the melody indicate something terrible is about to happen? Or does it recount a tragic event of the past? This prompt brings forth themes of suspense, fear, and an unescapable dread.
