Helter-Skelter
On Sunday Emily visited her father. She found the song Helter-Skelter was playing on the stereo in the lounge, but there was no sign of him downstairs. When she got to the stairs the song Helter-Skelter started playing again, but she paid it no attention.
“Dad!” she called out. She went up the stairs and checked the bedroom. When she walked into the room the door quickly closed behind her. Her father suddenly appeared out of thin air looking terrified.
“Did you turn the stereo off?” he asked. Emily shook her head. “Until that stereo turns off we are stuck in here!”
Emily looked out the window. There was nothing but blackness.

Is this a case of residual energy?

I was thinking the energy from the music was flipping them into some other dimension. I didn’t think about it too much.

Nice concept. Kudos.😊

Yes sadly that song is forever tainted with that association now.

I was trying to write something unsettling.
Emily and her father are trapped due to a (possibly) demonically possessed stereo using music to flip them into another dimension… At least that’s how I see it.
