https://read.cash/@Jdine/birth-month-giveaway-d289b904

Include 3 or more word prompts in your article. (DREAM, TWISTED, SILENT, DARK, TERRIFY, COLD)

Starto!

It's inevitable for me to pass by the old mansion by my street. There was a sort of stillness and silence that surrounded that house. I never went in there again after that incident...

It was a few years back but I could still remember it clearly. I even thought it was a dream at first but I was gravely mistaken. I knew it wasn't a dream because I could still feel her rage filled gaze whenever I passed by that house.

I remember following this little girl inside the house. She was a peculiar girl, always carried a journal around with her. I was more fascinated with the journal than her thus why I befriended her. Such a mistake that was. As days passed, I started to see her grow more twisted. She still hugged the journal close to her though, and every time I went near the book, her expressions grew dark, as if all her secrets were inside. Those secrets really fascinated me. I did everything I could to get that journal, even to the point of sneaking into the mansion at the cold of the night. I never expected to do this but my curiosity was getting to me, it was making me restless. I trailed off to where she said her room was. It was empty though... but that journal was there, on the bedside table. I was just reaching for it when I heard a voice

"I knew you would betray me too"

There she stood by the door, a pained expression on her face as she held a pair of scissors tight in her small grasp. I accidentally dropped the journal upon seeing her, and I couldn't tell what terrified me more, the girl that was inching towards me or the opened pages that showed the most brutal of photographs, those of adults, her parents. I presumed? mutilated in the most unbelievable of ways. I didn't have time to process anything and just simply made a run for it. She screamed and ran after me, she kept telling me

"never again touch what's mine!"

I had managed to escape the house but later on, I realized, I could never escape her.

This is the timer that I used, I wrote at 9:05, ended at 9:15. I typed on laptop and didn't edit anymore,just corrected my typos and highlighted the prompt words

If it's supernatural themed ones... i think i can only do angst for that. I don't find them scary anymore so i don't think I'll ever be able to justify using vampires and wolves as something that makes one scared

I kept getting that feeling at this one house we moved into when i was in the 5th grade. Later on, i learned that a family was murdered in that house, that's why it was so cheap and why i always felt like someone was watching me from the stairs. As much as the house was nice. I really hated my stay there

This is always a family being murdered in one of the houses and then ghosts hunt the house and the people who move in get screwed 😂😂

We didn't get screwedbut i got so scared of going home that we eventually moved out 😂 it was a family of 3 though. The parents then the kid that hung out by the stairs. One parent was always at the top of the staircase for some reason. I hated going up our room all the time ;-;

"but later on, I realized, I could never escape her." I'd bet this might be your winning entry. The way you perceived the girl being morose and deadly, might be because the abuse she had with her parents hence the killings. "I knew you would betray me too."

$ 0.00
4 years ago

Yeah. I wanted to believe that she only had that journal to record her abuses and the things she finally did to her parents. I wanted to make it out like nobody can ever see that journal or she'll be in more danger than what she was already facing so anybody who touches it must be eliminated

And unfortunately, someone lived to tell the tale, with the cost of his sanity.

Not at all 😂 but yeah, i like journals. I keep a few for sketching. I gave up on written journals because my sisters kept looking into them. I usually threaten them with death if they touch my journals too, hence the idea

And... what is or was exactly the thrilling part? The photos you saw? 🤔 If you ask me that girl is right and you are sooooo wrong touching her stuff. She kept it close for a very good reason. I wonder which reason 🤔

The thrill of the chase. i suppose and the thrill of being able to discover secrets. Humans tend to obsess over things, after all so curiosity really is inevitable
