~Teagan Weintraub, Class of 2028

It was late at night when I was walking down the street after class because I had missed my last bus back home. SoI had to walk back as I had no other choice. The streets can get very creepy at night, especially when you are alone. 

As I was walking, I saw this very mysterious house. It was brightly lit even though this house has been empty for a very long time. I was curious and crept down the gravel  path towards the door. The door creaked and opened on its own as I stood by it. I peeked in. It looked as if there were a thousand rooms inside. I wanted to see more. As I stood there mesmerized and looked, I didn’t know where to start.

My curiosity got the better of me, and I started with the door closest. The hinges were rusty and they creaked as I opened it. It was really scary…WAIT!!!, ..was there someone in there?. I didn’t dare go further. By then, I felt a chill run down my spine, and felt hands on my shoulder pushing me into the room. I screamed. It was too late. I fell down and heard the door shut behind me. The room plunged into darkness and became very quiet except for my heavy breathing. I tried getting up, but I felt as though something was holding me down. I cried “help”, but my voice was just not coming out. I managed to get to my feet, and tried to unlock the door, but to no avail. There was a presence in the room but no one was there.

I decided to be brave, and said “hello”, hello”???.. But all I heard was my echo. I was trying to unlock the door when suddenly, I heard this loud screeching voice, like nails on a chalkboard .I turned… and standing behind me was this shadowy figure.

It had big red eyes staring through me … .I screamed and the next thing I knew it was so close to my face I could smell its breath. It smelled like raw meat, and blood. I managed to turn and tried to run, but my feet couldn’t move. I felt the hands wrap themselves around me  with claws so long. its presence felt so cold …so cold… that I couldn’t breathe. I started gasping for air and tried to free myself from this monster. I screamed out in pain as its arms squeezed tighter. I felt its hands on my throat, “please…” but my voice was gone. I was struggling, trying to get away but I looked straight into its eyes and fainted from exhaustion. Next thing I knew I was in an open valley and  hands nailed to a tree “wa… what?”  3 full black entities spawned in front of me *sniff* Where am I? Get me down.”  “You will be here for the rest of eternity .” “Goodbye”. All of them faded off into the trees. My arms began to tear. I scream. I fell off the tree with only one arm holding on by a thread. By the time I fell off the tree I had run out of water left for tears. I ripped it off myself. I ran grunting with every step. “Aaahhh!!!” I fell over. I had lost too much blood. I crawled about 20 feet and I felt a presence behind me. “ No…”MISSING PERSONS REPORT:   TIMMY JONESON AGE 12 DISAPPEARED ON THURSDAY MARCH 20TH
