Dare or Not
It's A blaze of light from the outside illuminated the entire room. It was my folks! The lights returned. Also, the figure vanished. I rushed to meet them and recounted the story yet, of course, they don't trust me. I held them by their hands and drove them to where I saw the footprints however there was no single print we saw on the floor! It's incomprehensible! I saw it before they showed up. Also, that figure. I saw it with my two eyes.
I can't believe this! I'm acting like a fool in front of my family! What happened sank well in my mind. During dinner I didn't eat much. Then mom and dad talked to me seriously.
" Son, if there is something we need to know just tell me. Are you somehow, taking drugs? Mom suddenly asked. Oh no. They thought I'm taking drugs! Good thing I assured them I was not.
" Are you being pressured with anything, just say yes if there if it's about the unusual figure you just saw lately according to you, forget it?" Dad said firmly.
No matter how I insist that what I saw is true, I can't just persuade them to believe me. I went to my room with downhearted.
I kept thinking about the issue over and over when I fall asleep. I woke up in the middle of the night when I heard somebody is calling my name outside my room. I followed it until it went ground floor. It continues calling me yet nobody is near. Everybody is snoozing so who was it that continues calling my name?" Dan, ... Over here..." a fading voice it is. I understood it originated from the entryway under the staircase. I don't have an idea that there is a mystery entryway in here. It creaked as I pushed the corroded door. It directs to a staircase going down."Dan, over here...." I heard it again. I went down.
I followed it until I stopped in the middle of the rubble. The door suddenly slammed behind me! I ran into it but it's locked already. I heard the voice again, with my shaking knees I slowly walked down the stairs one more time. Everyplace is a mess. It was filled up with discarded things. Rodents are wriggling nearby. The voice stopped. I pondered where it goes when I noticed something in the corner. I walked towards it slowly until the figure became fully clear to me. It's a mummy! But what surprised me is when it's head suddenly moved and it's sunken eyes meets mine. I wanted to scream but there was no voice comes out from my vocal cords. I was shocked. " Get.. me.. out...of here"! it says with a hoarse voice.
It's a nightmare! I woke up panting and sweat is all over my face. Whew! I was too much overthinking that accompanied me even in my dream. I was about to doze again when I noticed that my door is open! A shadow just passed. No. No. No. Not again. I hurriedly ran to the door and closed and locked it. I quickly reached for the switch to light up my room. I didn't sleep for hours.
It was almost dawn when finally I slept. But I was disturbed by the banging of the door. My mom is waking me up to attend our breakfast but I was too sleepy so I just let her leave. It's almost 2:00 pm when I woke up. I went downstairs to have a meal because I just felt so empty. There's no one in the house. I went to the kitchen and have a quick meal but my head is on to something. I can feel something is wrong with this house. Though it was new it is just so different in a mysterious way. I didn't feel like this in our old house.
I have a plan in my mind. I need to prove something. After I am done with my late brunch, I approached the tools my father kept in his toolbox. I looked for something useful in my plan. Then I went straight to the staircase. I was staring at it for a long moment. Then I stroked, It was smooth and painted and it's concrete how come there's a door in here. I poked the hammer in my hands and slightly hammering the surface in different spots, up and down, sideways, when I noticed the sound is different. It seems like the cement in some specific area especially the centre is not as thick as the side part. I hit the wall again and compared to sound. It's different. Now I should decide to continue with this or to face the consequences if this goes wrong. If I proceed with this and found nothing that would make my family conclude that I have lost my sanity. On the other hand, what if there is a mystery behind the wall?
Do you think Dan will dare to break down that wall? will he uncover something or will he just left it and forget all about it until he will get used to it.?🤔
Dan should break the wall because that ghost is calling for help. I hope it's help amd not just tricking him into unleashing an unspeakable evil that would ruin his fam ;;-;;
