After removing the front door's lock and opening it, an awful smell entered my lungs. This made me cough for almost a minute. I covered my nose and mouth with my cloth.

I haven't been here since we left and transferred to another town because of the fear that I might be one of the victims of kidnapping in our town. Two years had passed, and it's still fresh to me how my ten classmates went missing.

As I moved forward, searching for my old skateboard, I slowly removed the pile of boxes one by one. As I progressed, the foul smell grew stronger.

When the box of my skateboard was removed, a group of skeletons were revealed. Each has a chain around its neck.

I screamed because of the shock. After awhile, I feel the hug from my father. He then comforted me, and I passed out out of fear. I woke up and found myself beside the skull, entangled with the same chain.
