A Prelude to a Horror Story

July 9, 2023July 9, 2023

It was a misty Halloween night. Children were scattered on streets and on driveways in search of candy. On the other hand, I was in front of my house, not moving an inch. This Halloween, my mom was busy hence she wasn’t going to come trick or treating with me. I wasn’t going to stop my fun because of that. I had acted courageous and confident the days before now because I was going to go trick or treating alone. I had terribly regretted that, for now I was still on my doorstep. “I can do this. Plus, ghosts aren’t real, right?” I said to myself confidently. Don’t judge, some of us have ghostly beliefs. I was not going to let this ruin my Halloween. 

      I marched positively to the door of the creepiest, haunting, petrifying house of all; Manly’s Mansion. People who dared to go in there never came back. However, I  was not aware of that, so I knocked on the door. The door made an eerie squeaking sound as it creaked open. “Hello?” I called with a wave of fear in my voice. As I took a step forward, I  gave a little shriek as I fell into a hole. As I rubbed my eyes, I felt something crawl onto my pants. I screamed on the top of my lungs as I  noticed I was in a hole full of pythons. It wasn’t long before mummies arrived, peering down at me like a tasty meal. I started backing up before I saw it; a ghost. That was the last thing I saw before I fainted.
