Sweat drenching my face in fear, my mind playing tricks on me, I don’t know why I wanted to come here. All I know is there is a mystery behind that door.
It was one gloomy day, when I decided to go explore the outside world. I had never been out the black rusty gate; my parents say it’s a dangerous world out there, it was driving me CRAZY.I took shallow deep breaths and composed myself as I was taking a big step into wonder.
I swiftly stroll through the black rusty gate and find a strange green smoky house, it’s a living zombie, I am choking in fear and my lungs are crunched. I walk up the solid surface of rectangles and knock on the door, in a blink of an eye it is pitch black, there is nothing 1000 eyes can see. I find a dusty thin string dangling among my shoulder like a spider, come on I can’t not pull it the force was raging over me. I pull the string and there is a miniature square door creaking open. I knew I was going in. I crouch down low and enter the door. I slither like a worm through a bright blue circle, my heart is pounding, my eyes were watering like a watering can, I am seeing a lady with button eyes, she is staring into my eyes with wonder, then before I knew it was the end of my soul BANG! And that is why I am a ghost.
