SPOOKY SURPRISE, SPOOKY HALLOWEEN
Moonlight was the only thing trying to illuminate my little house on Halloween night. The lights had gone off and I was in the middle of a creepy house I didn’t know at all. When I moved to Yellowmass a week ago, a friend of mine who lives in a nearby city warned me about this village. He told me: “-People there are a little bit special, they are keen on celebrating traditions in the most realistic way”. Although I really wanted to start a rural life in Yellowmass, I quickly changed my mind after that Halloween. And there I was, lost inside the darkness after making a huge error.
The house was so new to me that I could not recognise any wall without illumination. Confused by darkness, I started to walk along a corridor. In the middle of my walk I felt the footsteps of someone above, the roof was shivering. I started to run towards the end of the corridor, where I thought there was one of the bedrooms. My plan was to hide under a bed and wait for the lights to return. My horror was getting bigger and bigger. All of a sudden, I noticed that the area was not a bedroom, it was a store room full of boxes. I had taken the wrong way.
I was about to start panicking when the moonlight of the window let me see a baseball bat on the floor. It was a bat I had had since I was eleven years old. I grabbed it to use it as a weapon and then, all of a sudden, an amorphous creature appeared behind the window. I started running following the initial route, my legs were moving on their own. While running through the kitchen, I saw a shape staring at me through the window that made me dash even faster.
Once I arrived at the bedroom, I heard the feet of someone hitting the treads of the stairs that lead to the corridor next to the room I was in. A little bit confused, I entered the bathroom of the chamber. I went directly to the bathtub, I thought it was a good place to hide. While I was walking, I thought about the fact that the house I was living in was haunted, terror was growing inside my mind. One second before my hand started moving the curtains of the bathtub, I remembered that I hadn’t closed the back garden gate.
After I had completely drawn the curtain of the bathtub, I recognized the figure of a child in front of me. That was the scariest moment of my life. I started screaming and I let the baseball bat fall. The child started laughing maliciously as well as two other young people that had entered the bathroom after the shock. In the middle of despair and chaos, one child said to me: “-If we ask for candy, you must give us candy. Make sure to buy some for next year. Did you enjoy this trick?” The three children ran away, leaving me petrified and surrounded by darkness.
