School went pretty fast; and I stand here with Fern, Liz, and Arthur. The sky filled with clouds and the smell of rain. Liz and Arthur seem a little anxious but that just seems off. We go by that old house, and I can't help but stare.

It's kinda eerrie and a bit large for a regular home. Most say that it was a super rich persons mansion. But most don't know due to the fact that the government strickly states that we can't go there. But everytime i see it, it calls out. The trees almost seem to reach out, inviting me. And the door slightly cracked open as a soft white gloved hand sticks out. Everytime I wanna go, but I don't.

"Izek, Hey you there?" Fern seems concerned and stares at the house where I was staring. And in that instance, the hand leaves and the door closes. As if she is not invited inside. Liz  seems stiff and Arthur is almost like being on guard. Something isn't right and it deals with that house. I find myself stopping completely and facing the house as the others continue forwards. 

The door opens and the hand comes out again. This time a little girl around 5 years old walks out of the house and towards the street. She looks down at the street in complete confusion and then to me.

"Where? Who?" The little girl asks, her short brown hair and bright hazel eyes drawing the attention of everyone around. This girl is famous. The insane girl who know one remembers where she went. Her name is Sally Bracker. Most call her Silly Sally. By the time she was 3, she was tromenting her family and the animals. So her family sent her to an unknown location. So she could be reformed. Though, I have no idea why Silly Sally would come out of that house.

Suddenly officers show up and pick up Silly Sally. They put her in the car trying to answer her questions while keeping a close eye on us. They had come back and Liz is hugging Arthur in fear. Fern looks as if she too did not understand what was happening. I look back to the house and the feeling on needing to go washes over me again. What is this house? 

They basically pull me away and home. I tried to resist but they wouldn't let me go, especially with the cops there. As I sit, texting Fern asking if she wants to go to the house later, I think about how to go about this. I know it's not right, but something isn't right about that house and I want to know what it is. So I decide to look up anything I can find and I see all kinds of missing children or persons cases in newspapers from 200 hundred years ago. That's a long time. But then one catches my eye.

THE WEEKEND LETTER


TOP STORY: ASYLUM OPENS AND TRAGID STARTS

BY: ANDREW VIVIBER

Everyone was looking towards having yet another place to help those who mentally aren't okay. Sally Bracker, deemed the most insane child in history arrived first that morning followed by plenty of other children. But Sally started talking about some people who wasn't in the asylum by the time lunch rolled around. What she said disturbed the doctors and nurses. Especially since she had all the proof on her body. She was claiming that a young boy and a teen girl and their doctor, who is another male, come in and beat her. They would tell her things and then would hit her or scratch her. In one week, these so called people already killed most of those who were first in the hospital and those that survived, they were in worse shape than before. Doctors are working with other asylums to figure out just what is going on and trying to find a transfer for the surviving of the patients. 7 nurses and 2 doctors have passed away due to undisclosed reasons, and I believe it is the work of the 3.

THE WEEKEND LETTER


TOP STORY: ASYLUM CLOSES AND PEOPLE MISSING

BY: ANDREW VIVIBER

This week the asylum closed it's doors for good. No one would accept the transfer and everyone even half the cops that searched that day vanished without a trace. What they did come back with was a single message on sally's room wall, and it states "They took us all. It's all a test." No one knows what to think, was it sally who wrote that. After that search, three teens went in to search. One of which had a little brother inside, who also is believed to be alive and just vanished, and all of which vanished. More and more people are starting to go and more people are starting to enter and more people are vanishing. The government is trying to lock up the place and bring all this to an end.


After a few more entries of asylum news, it suddenly disappears. Why did they stop talking about it and what if they're coming back to an age that they don't belong in? I just have to go and find out.
