Zuka Tawa

Chapter 3: Homecoming

Taj and I refused to play the game with Fred, He asked us for a few months after we found the "Zuka Tawa" game, we couldn't figure out why he wanted to play so bad.. We never asked either. It was around that time where school had started and we didn't hangout like we did in the summer. No late nights at the park, all-nighters, and such, around the time of homecoming we all decided to go to the Homecoming dance hosted early in the school year as usual. The plan was to all have a sleepover and just have a good night. We all went to the dance without dates besides Taj he brought his girlfriend of a few years, her name was Tracey. We had a good time hanging with the other boys are age and enjoyed our night as normal, Fred hadn't even brought up the game for a few days till I heard him talking to some boys the grade about playing the game some time which made me mad. Why would he want to play the game with anyone when we were warned not to and why was he so fascinated with it? After we all left we gathered into Fred's car. We dropped off Tracey and drove towards Taj's house but we passed it, we looked confused but didn't say anything. Fred pulled into the field to the right which ran for about Five Miles. Us scared both asked what we were doing here. Fred then answered slowly as taking a breathe. I want to show you guys something.. He reached back into the car and set the radio to 30 the max volume. We waited for a bit to when we heard the radio start trying to talk of course we believed it was just the radio waves not getting a good read due to the field being in such a location, Fred led us to the truck where he pulled out a familiar box. It was the Zuka Tawa game we had found months back. Taj argued "Why do you have that, did you take it from the trash!" Fred calmly walked to the front of the car the closer he gathered to the front the easier the voice on the radio became when he reached the front the volume seemed to shoot to 100! "Help shouted a voice, an ad for a life alert started to play. Our hearts were skipping beats faster than ever before. We laughed at the thought the board had been talking or something in that manor. Fred waited for us to be mid laugh to say "Why are you laughing it always uses ads to talk." That ran a shiver down our spines, something about his voice sounded to serious. We indulged into what Fred had meant and he said a month ago he took the board out of the house because Taj's mother saw it when cleaning the basement. Taj argued that because we had taken it out of the house the same day we found it after Fred had left. The only thing we didn't throw away at first was the manul because it was separated from the box from Fred looking at it. We realized the "game" must be cursed or have some dark energy around it. Fred said we have to play since we were already out there. Taj and I looked at each other pale..
