Lights Out

This one is based from my own true story. And this one was really scary for me.

**********************************

It was afternoon. Around 4 pm, I think. I was at my mother's office. With my mother, and sister.

We went inside the bathroom together. At first, I refused. And asked for my mother's car key. But, she was scared and told me to accompany her.

My sister was in the 1st stall. While my mother was in the 2nd stall. Between those stalls, there was a really big mirror. I'm kind of scared of waiting in front of the mirror.

So, I waited for them in front of my sister stall. There was some little gap so I could speak with my sister.

But, suddenly, the lights went out.

My sister was shocked, and screamed a little. She was really scared. And, my mother yelled at me:

'' Stop joking! Turn the lights back on! '' She thought I was the one who turned it off.

I was scared to look up, afraid of what will appear right in front of me. Not long after, the lights went on again. I felt a bit relieved. My sister walked out and was bewildered by what is happening. My mother still thought that I was the one who did it. But, my sister knew that it wasn't my doing.

I hastily walked out without answering my mother's question about the lights. After I went out, I told my mother that I swear I wasn't the one who did it. That, I was standing in front of my sister stall all the time. My sister believed me, and told my mother the same thing. She said that she saw something on the hole of the ceiling.

Luckily, we were not alone. A friend of my mother was also there. My mother told him what happened. " Oh, the lights out here wasn't turned off. " He said.

We got scared, and went inside the car.

My mother told me that many strange things happened in her office.

For an example, once, The keeper of my mother's office often said that many strange things happen. Like, when he was turning off the lights, he felt like a person was staring at him. Or he heard a person cry or laugh.

And, my mother's friend has too. When she was in the toilet. A woman stand in the corner. And, she immediately went out.

Since then on, I always get anxious when I'm entering my mother's office bathroom.
