Murder House (Part Two)

A Sudden Invitation

'I don't like this?' my inner voice said. 'Are you sure this is a good idea considering the circumstances surrounding this?'

"I know it isn't but I want to make sure this isn't a wild goose chase." with that, I open the book and read.

'It was five-forty nine when Caroline and I decided to visit the amusement park to calm our nerves after the exams and Bob's amusement park was the cheapest there. It was located outside the town on the Southside and from what we heard, it was the best amusement park run by Mr. Bernard aka Mr. Bobo. We were having fun trying all the rides until we decided to try out the Spooky Den but that turned out to be a big mistake. We walked in and were scared of all the zombies inside except they were not zombies. Upon closer inspection, I saw one of the 'zombies' was a student named Matlin who went missing three weeks ago. It was his dead body! I called the police and within a few minutes, they came and carted all the corpses of the dead and put Mr. Bernard in jail for five counts of first-degree murder. He was sentenced to death but he hung himself three days later. I was disappointed because I thought he was the demon but now I am sure that he is part of the demon's minions. How many are out there?

I close the page. "This is a mysterious story but the entry is short. I will have to dig up more information on Mr. Bobo to see if he has any siblings or family but I might come out empty on this one. What if they moved away after what happened?"

'We should check the cyber café tomorrow since it's going to be a weekend.'

I nod and get some sleep.

The next day, I was in the cyber cafe with the kitsune paying to use the computer.

"Let's see here." I start typing and the results pop up on the screen. "It says the Amusement Park was built in 1983 by Armadas Blue. He worked in a circus and used the money he earned to open a clown-themed amusement park."

"Poor things." the kitsune moaned swishing its tails. "Most of them are afraid of clowns."

I scroll down. "It was closed down in 2018 because corpses were used as decoration in the Horror Slide."

"Poor things." it sighed again.

I continue to search until a headline caught my attention. "'Killer Clowns Nephew Testifies Against his Uncle.'" the picture of the nephew was on the front page of the article so I take a closer look at him. "He testified against his Uncle Bob aka Uncle Bobo for killing his family and plead guilty to being an accessory to murder but didn't go to prison for he was a minor while his sister; a suspected of drugs trafficking disappeared without a trace. During the years it was rumored that the place is haunted because of some mysterious activity going on there."

"Anyone who has entered never comes out alive." said the kitsune. "I vanquish a lot of evil spirits there."

'Normally, I would be afraid of doing this but after what I had been through during the past couple of weeks, this is considered another day in the office.' I was about to type something when the screen went blank.

"What the..."

Then a scary clown appeared on the screen with the following message, 'Checking out my playpen eh?'

I look around trying to see any sign of foul play but find none. Then another message pops up on the screen.

'Do you want to play my game?'

Every inch of me begged not to type anything in the dialogue box but I did. 'Who are you?'

'Someone who is going to offer you a lot of money if you play my game. Do you want to play?'
