‘Empty House’
I thought it was over, but I’ve never been so wrong in my life. Due to the cause of my stupid actions, I’m alone, stuck in this house forever, no way of getting out. I thought people would be looking for me by now, although I have no idea of how much time has passed but it’s seemed like ages. But they will eventually find me, dead or alive. My names Jason by the way, and I’m going to tell you about the nightmare of my life.
My day began on a Friday morning; I got to school about ten past nine, ten minutes later than I was meant to be, it’s coming to the end of term though so the teachers don’t mind as much if you’re late, but that wasn’t the point. I joined my friends who were sitting in the corner. They were playing a board game, called ‘Have You the Guts’. It’s basically game to find out who’s a wimp and who’s not. They asked me to join in; at first I didn’t know what to say. Most of the things they tell you to do gets you into trouble but amazingly I said yes anyway, they’d only hold it against me if I said no. As I was a new comer I would have to roll first. So I did, I got a double four. This meant I was on a square that was safe and that I get the chance to roll again to catch-up with the others. But by doing so I got a three and a five. But I wasn’t so lucky this time. I landed on hard card. That means I would have to do whatever the card said, or id be out. Then they handed me the box of cards. I picked one from the back; usually they’re not so hard from the back and surprisingly I was right for once. It must have probably the luckiest card I drew in the entire game. They’d probably think I was cheating if they hadn’t seen me choosing it. It was the roll again card. So now I get to row yet again. This time I got a five and a six. This put me on the square next to Craig and he usually loses all the games we play anyway. So it wasn’t that much of a gain.
