The night sky was clear and bright, the full moon illuminating the streets of London. James Lyles, a 24-year-old man, walked down the abandoned streets, his hands in his pockets and his head hung low. He had just left his office and was on his way home to his loving wife and two children. But little did he know, this night would take a drastic turn that would change his life forever.
James had always dreamt of being rich and living a luxurious life, but unfortunately, that dream never came true. He struggled to make ends meet and provide for his family. Despite his efforts, he could never seem to get ahead in life. This constant struggle had taken a toll on him, and he found himself feeling defeated and hopeless.
As he walked, he couldn't help but feel envious of the wealthy people he saw passing by in their fancy cars. He longed to be one of them, to have all the money in the world and never have to worry about a thing. But as he reached his home, he knew that dream was far from being a reality.
As he entered his modest home, he was greeted by his wife and two children, a boy and a girl. They were all smiles and laughter, happy to see him after a long day. James couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt, knowing he couldn't provide them with everything they wanted.
The family sat down for dinner, and the conversation revolved around the same old topic - money. James's wife, Laura, suggested that they take out a loan to help with their financial struggles. But James refused, not wanting to be in debt and burdening his family even more.
After dinner, the family gathered in front of the TV to watch their favorite show. But the mood quickly changed as the news reported some strange activities happening around the city. People were going missing, and strange symbols were being drawn on the walls of buildings. James couldn't help but feel a sense of unease, but he brushed it off, thinking it was just some kind of prank.
As the night went on, James couldn't seem to shake off the feeling of being watched. He decided to take a walk outside to clear his head, leaving his family at home. The streets were eerily quiet, and the full moon was now shining bright red, unlike any moon he had seen before.
Suddenly, James felt a sharp pain in his eyes, causing him to fall to the ground. He screamed in agony, feeling like his eyes were burning. As he tried to make sense of what was happening, he heard a voice calling out to him.
'Don't look up, James. Don't look up,' the voice whispered.
Through the excruciating pain, James managed to look up and saw a figure standing in front of him. It had glowing red eyes, and its face was twisted into a menacing grin. James tried to scream, but his voice was gone.
'Sorry, this was no full moon. This was a red moon. And on this night, your life will end,' the figure said before disappearing into thin air.
James's last thoughts were of his family, his wife, and children. He wished he had told them how much he loved them before it was too late. And with that, he took his last breath, his body lying lifeless on the cold ground.
The next morning, Laura and the children woke up to find James's lifeless body lying just outside their home. They were in shock and disbelief, not understanding what had happened. The whole neighborhood gathered, trying to make sense of the tragedy that had occurred overnight.
The police were called to investigate, but they found no leads or evidence. James's death was deemed a mystery, leaving his family and friends devastated and heartbroken. Laura could not comprehend how her loving husband, with no history of health problems, could have died so suddenly.
Weeks went by, and the incident was soon forgotten, but not by James. His spirit roamed the streets of London, seeking revenge on the cruel world that had never given him a chance. His red eyes glowed in the night, and anyone who crossed his path suffered the same fate as him.
Years went by, and the city of London was plagued by mysterious deaths and strange sightings. People started to believe that the city was cursed, with some even claiming that they had seen the ghost of James Lyles seeking revenge.
But one night, a brave soul decided to confront the ghost and put an end to the curse once and for all. Armed with a camera, the person ventured into the abandoned streets, not knowing what they would encounter.
As they walked, they heard a voice whispering, 'Don't look up. Don't look up.' But the person ignored the warnings and looked up, their camera capturing the image of a red-eyed figure before it disappeared into thin air.
The pictures and videos went viral, and the legend of James Lyles was forever etched into the history of London. His family finally found closure, knowing that James's spirit had found peace. And as for the city, they learned never to underestimate the power of a full moon, especially when it's a red one.
