The Haunted House
It was located close to my house.
They said that it was an abandoned place
but I didn't see it the same way.
It started to act when
the darkness beat the light.
Repeatedly I heard eerie noises;
Sometimes someone would run;
Sometimes someone would cry.
Cats' meow, and shutting of
doors were turning me insane.
One night as I opened my window;
I scared to death.
The house's windows were closed
But I could see a shadow -
a shadow of a witch.
Her claws were long
and her hairs were ugly.
She was strolling slowly,
I could see her shadow passing
from one window to the other.
A week later three boys
disappeared out of the blue
People searched all the places
but didn't find any clue.
I felt very bad for them.
Since then things got more worse;
I began to hear screams and crazy laughs.
I learnt that the voices are of boys.
Gathering my strength I opened my window again,
And a chill ran down my spine.
I saw them -
I saw the three boys' shadows;
behind the window's glass.
All were looking directly at me.
I hurriedly closed my window.
Next morning, I thought they were alive;
So, I went to the house to investigate.
As I pushed the door, I felt a gush of cold breeze.
I moved forth and saw the three boys'
corpses were hanging with a fan.
My heart started to rattle,
I screamed horribly and ran away.
Next day I heard a knock on my door.
I opened the door and
there was no one.
Suddenly my eye caught an envelope
laying down on the steps.
I picked it up and took out a white paper from it.
I unfolded it and then I began to shake -
It was written in blood - "I'm coming for you tonight."
