I had just moved into a new house, i was 15 and I lived with my mom and my dad in a small house near an old abandoned school, now i was the type of kid that would explore this creepy abandoned things for fun too past the time.

one night I decided to go and investigate this school now i was a brave and rather stupid child as I went with out my cell phone or even a torch for that matter, I approac
hed the school entered as I did a cold chill ran down my spine but i still went on the paintings were all distorted and abnormal and above them all sat a name tag, but....there was one.. this painting was still wet as it had just been painted under the name tag tommy.

I knew something was up so I decided to look around so more all the book had a wired symbol on them it looked like a circle with a smaller dot inside like an eye, I walked over too the toy box I placed my hands on top of it and unlatched the lock....

The only toy left was an old doll with one eye missing, I though it would be worth something as all old dolls where so I put it in my bag and as I closed my bag a gust of wind startled me as I span round the windows were latched shut.... I ran out the room and down some stairs into what looked like a basement.

I felt around the darkness for a light switch.... my heart raced as I felt franticly... I found the switch and flicked it on the lights began too flicker making shadows dance across the room.. i thought nothing of it until I saw one shadow it was in the corner I picked up a flash light a pointed it at the corner I sighed in relief as i saw the coats hung up on the door I turned and ran straight out the front door and then home.

when I got home I lay on my bed as I did a noise echoed from out side some one shout give it back so I leaned out my window too see what the problem was....the street was dead not a single soul roamed I closed my window.... I lay down and turned my light off as i did my heart began too race as a shadow was stood at my door I slammed my light on as fear set in I lay back down thinking nothing of it and hit the lights again as I did I looked back over too my door and the shadow was gone.

I laughed too my self and rolled.... my heart exploded as not even to inches away from my face crouched in front of me was a boy with his fingers cut off and half his jaw removed and a name tag pined too his vest it read.

TOMMY...
