It was a typical evening in the small town of Northfield, where everyone knew each other and the night was as peaceful as any other night. Little did they know that a venomous curse was about to turn their world upside down.
The Beginning of The Curse
The venomous curse started years ago when a group of travelers took refuge in the town. They were on a journey to find a rare herb that could cure any poison. However, they were attacked by a group of bandits who stole the herb from them.
In their desperation, the travelers cast a curse on the town, promising that for generations to come, the town would be plagued by venomous creatures.
Years went by, and the curse did not seem to have any effect. The townspeople dismissed it as a superstition and continued with their mundane lives. But little did they know that the curse was slowly taking shape.
The First Signs of The Curse
It began with an unusual number of snake sightings around the town. At first, the townspeople didn’t give it much thought as snakes were a common sight in rural areas. Soon, however, the snakes started to behave differently.
They became more aggressive, attacking livestock and even people.
The townspeople were shocked and scared. They sought help from neighboring towns, but no one knew why the snakes were behaving that way. Soon, the town was dubbed ‘The Town of Snakes’ as people started to avoid it like the plague.
The Town’s Desperate Attempts
The town tried everything to get rid of the snakes. They contacted pest control companies, but they found no solution. The town’s mayor even hired a group of snake charmers, hoping they would be able to lure the snakes from the town.
But it was all in vain.
Then, the town’s folk decided to take matters into their own hands. They formed a group to hunt down the snakes. They killed as many as they could find, but their numbers didn’t seem to dwindle. The snakes continued to plague the town.
The Arrival of The Spiders
As if the snakes weren’t enough, the curse brought on another wave of venomous creatures. This time, it was spiders. The black widow and brown recluse spiders, to be exact. It was a nightmare come true for the town’s folk.

The curse seemed to follow them.
The Curse Continues
The curse didn’t stop with the spiders. It seemed that every few years, a different venomous creature would infest the town. There were scorpions, centipedes, and even poisonous frogs. The town was at its wits’ end.
They ran out of ideas on how to stop the curse.
The townspeople even tried to lift the curse by making offerings to the spirits. They gave offerings of food and lit incense, hoping that the spirits would forgive them and lift the curse. But it was all in vain.
Modern Day
The town is still cursed to this day. Although the frequency of venomous creatures has reduced, they still plague the town. The people have learned to live with the curse, but they still fear for their safety.
The town’s authorities have put up warning signs all around the town, cautioning visitors about the potential dangers. The town is a shell of its former self, and its population has dwindled to a few hundred.
Although the few remaining residents hold on to the hope that one day, the curse will be lifted.
