Possessed

It started with a Ouija board: it seemed like harmless fun, the messages at first benign - it said it was a nun! Obsessed, I spent more time with it but scary stuff began: I heard a laugh, saw shadows move and knew it was a man. The figure stepped towards me then and rooted to the spot, I felt it push inside my brain, my body cold, but hot. "And that was how I killed the girls." The judge just shook his head. "I swear I woke and saw the blood... the prostitutes were dead..."

Must be for a contest, if so, it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. I think I would be scared straight instead of into doing wrong. Sara K
