Alyssa's Short Story: The Haunted House
This is the story about how three girls disappeared inside an old, abandoned house and left one witness. I was that witness. The story starts when it was raining and my friends kept complaining about stupid stuff. I thought it was a good idea to take a walk through the woods since I do it all the time. At least it’s better than staying at home, bored out of our minds. I was hiking with my friends Alyssa, Jennifer, and Marcie. Marcie kept repeating the same aggravating sentence, “ It’s really cold and I want to go home”. As we started to walk back, I turned my head to the right and noticed a small house house in the distance.

We look at her. Startled expressions made their way on our faces.

“I saw...a ghost.” Alyssa screams. By now, the door was shut and we couldn’t get out. Marcie screams at the top of her lungs. Then Jennifer screams. Alyssa and I were the last to scream. With no success of getting help, we were all in. agreement that we need to break a window. Jennifer broke the window with a wooden pole from inside the room we were trapped in. Then we noticed the window had metal bars outside of it.

The door knob shakes and stops. Then it shakes again, but stopped. We whip our heads to look at the door. We back up and hit a wall. We heard voices. I swear we heard voices. Alyssa and Marcie leave to find where the voices came from. Five minutes go by and they haven’t come back. So Jennifer and I go to look for them. We walked downstairs, slowly looking for the two missing girls. I start to make a plan.

When I look back to tell Jennifer, I see nothing. I’m shocked. I bolted out of the house as quick as possible. When I arrived home, I sat down on my bed to process what just happened. I will never go back to that house ever
