While walking to my room, I had a pit in my stomach. All during dinner, I thought about the stories my grandma told me about her and her friends trying the Ouija board many years ago.

I sat in my room, bored. Time seemed to freeze as I awaited my family to fall asleep.
5 Hours Later
It was time. I snuck out of my covers and reached under the bed for the mysterious board. I lit a bunch of candles around me for the mood and set the ouija on the floor.
I set my sweaty hands on the planchette... "Is there a spirit with me?" I question, my voice shaking.
Suddenly the clocks in my room turn backwards, all to 12:00. All my candles get blown out.
I sit there, too terrified to move. I watch the board as the spirit moves the planchette. "Yes," It reads.
"How old are you?" I ask.
"14"
I gasp. That is one young ghost! I wonder how he died...
"What is your name?"
"Oscar Thompson"
Hmmm... that name doesn't sound familiar. Must be a random ghost instead of a family member.
I figure I have done enough tonight. If I play with the Ouija any more I may anger Oscar. I slip the board back under my bed, put away the candles, and sneak back in bed.
It is very difficult to sleep and I toss and turn all night.
The Next Morning
I wake up to yelling and sirens. "Where is he?!" My dad screams. I hear my mom crying too.
I rub my eyes and check the alarm clock. 7:30!? Jeez. I run to the living room to see all the commotion.
"What is going on?" I ask.
"It's Max" My mom explains through tears. What does my brother have to do with this...? My mom is crying too much to speak so my dad takes me and tells me to follow him. We go to my baby brother's room. I peer into his crib and... he is gone.
I stand there stunned. How could this happen? He is only a baby!
I stand there for so long just thinking. Even though sometimes he annoyed me but I didn't want him to just be gone.
I excuse myself to my room and sit there wondering. I couldn't even cry because it was still so hard to believe.
Is this all because of me? I think.
I collapse on my bed.
