I ran for my life and did not dare to look back. Horrific thoughts flooded my mind as I sprinted through the damp forest floor,

my heartbeat was at a normal rate. I stood up and glanced around the empty motionless streets as my eyes searched for movement, and I hoped Samantha was ok. I read the street signboard which read “Creepsville Avenue”. I walked off heading for the police station thinking of how I would recall the weird events. As I walked through two streets I finally saw movement, it was a man in his who seemed to be the age of forty. He was wearing a fine black top hat, a three piece suit and a tie. He was heavily built and looked like a character out of a movie. He had long hair which was straight and was playing the banjo whilst sitting on an old wooden rocking chair humming along to the music. Beside him leaning against the chair was a long black cane with a crystal ball on top, it looked rather posh. His eyes followed me as I walked past him. In the far distance was a girl, I couldn’t see her properly due to not having my glasses but it wasn’t hard to notice that she was walking towards me. Her figure became clearer as we got closer to each other, I recognized the pretty, bright orange dress she was wearing. It was Samantha! I was delighted as I ran towards her and gave her a huge hug, my eyes filled with tears of joy. We hugged for quite a long period as if stuck or petrified. We slowly let go of each other as Samantha spoke. She stated, “I’m so glad you’re alright.” I replied, “me too.” Thinking about what to say I asked her how she has escaped. She claimed to have run into an old filthy man wearing a torn bright yellow t-shirt and green stained shorts that was just below his knees. He was raking leaves in the middle of the forest and as Samantha approached he helped her by scaring off the dogs with his rake. She then thanked him and scurried along to safety. Looking back, the man had vanished and the rake lay there on the pile of leaves which he had gathered. She ran straight out of the forest and was heading towards the police station just like me. I told her about my intentions on reporting the event and she agreed, so we walked together towards the police station. We walked a path between two pieces of strange land, on the left the land was sterile with no sign of life and on the right the land was filled with luscious grape vines. We were now outside the police station looking at the tall blue gates with a wooden plank hung to it which read “Creepsville police station” in engraved textures. I opened the gate, as it creaked, it sent a cold shiver down my spine. We reached the doors and entered. My eyes searched the spacious room for paranormal activity. There were three police officers feeding on hot steaming donuts accompanied with coffee. I looked at them with lust and desire as my stomach rumbled. We slowly walked towards the police men. The police men had now realized and hid the donuts under their desk. One of the three cleared his throat and questioned, “How may I help you?” I looked at the police man and began to report my experiences. Then police man started to write down my report. I told him the following; earlier today me and Samantha wanted to explore the abandoned house. It was Samantha’s idea. So we walked cautiously towards the house watching the beautiful sunset. As we got closer, fear filled my mind and my body started to tremble. My heartbeat rose and I started to sweat like never before. Every little noise drew my attention and the wind whistled in a horrific melody warning me, but tried my very best to ignore it and walked on. We now reached the door and Samantha was jumping with excitement. We looked at each other and then the door, it was a large oak doorway which consisted of two doors with chunks missing from it. Me and Samantha pushed open the doors and walked in. the floor was tiled with old fashioned designs and the ceiling looked unsecure and dangerous as if was about to collapse. The walls were covered with green flaking paint which had blood stains on them. The room seemed to be a living room and had torn sofas with springs coming out of them. Nobody had lived here for over fifty years and the land was forbidden. In the far corner of the room was a rocking chair that made an unpleasant screech every time it rocked. I looked at Samantha who was pale and absolutely terrified. Samantha started walking towards a room which was in front of her. Her long black hair swayed side by side as she walked and her slim figure looked slimmer. I scurried along and caught up to her. The floor had insects crawling all over it and we occasionally saw a rat running along. As soon as we reached the room a loud scream filled the area. I looked back but there was nothing there. I turn back to Samantha but she had disappeared. She was nowhere to be seen. I screamed out her name but there was no reply, I tried again but still there was no answer. I looked forward at the dark doorway, took a deep breath and entered hoping that Samantha would be there. As I entered, a gruesome stench filled my lungs and the room looked like a kitchen because of the appliances. In the centre of the room was a glass table with a gold trim. In the middle of the table was a bowl filled with rotten fruits and had maggots crawling all over them. I left the room in disgust and entered the 2nd room on my right. I didn’t want to, but I did for Samantha’s sake. As I entered the deformed doorway, it lead me to another dark room which seemed to be glowing blue. There was nothing there except another door which was a doorway to the forest. Nobody had accessed the forest in years due to rumours and unexplainable incidents. I then came out of the room and headed toward the stairs. The staircase had a few steps missing and a few broken but eventually after a lot of effort I got upstairs, I felt exhausted. There was only one room upstairs and the entrance looked like an entrance to a dungeon. It was a hole in the wall and had dirt all over the floor. I walked in and continued to walk forward. I watched my step due to the floor being weak. I walked on and found a chest. There was something written on it with what seemed to be blood, I looked closer and noticed what was written on it. It read “do not open or else…” I was scared but I went ahead and opened it. A woman in a large red robe appeared and began to chant some words, the floor below me just broke and I ended up in the empty room I was in before. I stood up and ran towards the door that lead to the forest. I opened the door and ran out. As I started to run I stood on something, I looked back and it was the tail of some vicious dogs. I ran for my life and did not dare to look back.
