Genre: Dark Comedy, Horror
Characters:
Mariah Carey (MC): A seemingly sweet and talented singer, secretly a ruthless serial killer with a penchant for ice-based weaponry and a Christmas-themed killing spree. Her outward persona is a carefully crafted mask hiding a deep-seated resentment and a thirst for revenge. She possesses a chillingly calm demeanor, even while committing heinous acts.
Bob: A bumbling, somewhat oblivious individual, easily distracted and prone to making poor decisions. He serves as comic relief and a foil to Mariah's chilling nature.
Sue: Bob's more cautious and observant partner. She's initially skeptical of Mariah's seemingly perfect image but is easily swayed by Mariah's charm. She acts as a voice of reason (though often too late).
Setting:
A small, snow-dusted town in the days leading up to Christmas. The story unfolds primarily in a quaint, festive setting, creating a stark contrast to the gruesome events. Specific locations could include a Christmas market, a cozy café, and Mariah's seemingly idyllic home, which secretly houses her chilling arsenal.
Plot Elements:
The story begins on November 1st, with Bob and Sue encountering Mariah at a local Christmas market. Mariah, charming and seemingly harmless, captivates Bob instantly. Sue remains suspicious, noticing subtle inconsistencies in Mariah's behavior and the unusually cold temperature around her.
The story then delves into Mariah's origin story, revealed through flashbacks. We see a young Mariah, passionate about music but relentlessly bullied for her unique voice and style. This relentless torment fuels a deep-seated rage, culminating in a pivotal moment where she discovers her ability to manipulate ice, transforming her pain into a chilling power.
As the story progresses, Bob's infatuation with Mariah blinds him to the increasingly ominous signs. Sue's warnings are dismissed as paranoia. Meanwhile, Mariah's killing spree continues, with her victims mysteriously frozen solid. The victims are those who once wronged her in some way, their frozen bodies discovered in increasingly elaborate ice sculptures.
The climax occurs on Christmas Eve. Bob, finally realizing Mariah's true nature, attempts to intervene, only to become trapped in one of Mariah's ice creations. Sue, armed with a surprisingly effective snow shovel, confronts Mariah in a final showdown. The battle is a chaotic blend of festive cheer and chilling violence, culminating in a darkly comedic resolution. Mariah's fate is left ambiguous, hinting at the possibility of her return next Christmas.
Length: Medium-length story, allowing for both character development and a satisfyingly twisted plot.
