🩸 Psychological Horror | In Early Development 🩸 💀 This story takes place in the unnervingly perfect suburban community of Holly Tree — a place where the sun shines just a little too bright, the air smells too clean, and everyone smiles just a little too wide. 💰 The trilogy begins with a group of strangers who sign up for something called The Happy Holly Tree Exam — a mysterious program that promises one million dollars if they can stay in town for a single night. At first, it feels like an easy deal — until they sit in their assigned seats and hear an automated, overly cheerful message echo through hidden speakers: “🌞 Welcome new residents to Happy Holly Tree — your forever home! 😊 Rule No. 1: Always smile. 💬 Rule No. 2: Keep every conversation positive. 🙏 Rule No. 3: Show gratitude at all times — or face re-education.” As the night stretches on, time begins to bend and break. The residents’ smiles never fade, even when they blink out of existence. The strangers begin seeing each other standing on lawns, grinning, waving — only to find their real friends moments later, confused and unaware. Reality becomes a loop, sanity dissolves, and the truth about Holly Tree starts to surface. 🩸 Happy Holly Tree is not just a story about fear — it’s about the horror of forced happiness, the psychological decay that comes from pretending everything is fine, and the dark side of utopia. This will be a three-part trilogy, each entry exploring a deeper layer of the town’s sinister creation. 🙂🩸 ☀️ In Holly Tree, sadness is forbidden. Individuality is erased. And smiling… isn’t a choice. Stay tuned.😁 P.S. the second image is just a little teaser into what Happy Holly Tree is about. 😉 Give me your thoughts on this story. Every theory is worth talking about 😌
