The Mansion

There is a mansion

Three hours by food from town

Nobody knows how long its been there or who lives in it

Rumours said it was haunted

A group of friends decided it would be fun

To visit that mansion one day

As a game

A test of courage

But, how courageous could they be?

When they arrived, they noticed that the outside was clean

The garden tended

Not a single autumn leaf out of place

And not a single speck of dirt was to be found on the eggshell white outer walls of the mansion

"Maybe somebody does live here" A boy stated, folding his arms over his well built chest.

"Don't be ridiculous," Another responded, sighing

When they entered, they found that the inside too had been clean

Swept and mopped

Dusted and polished

No dust was to be found on the pure white tables

Pure white walls

Or the pure white chairs

The friends decided it would be best

To split up into groups of two or three

To cover more ground

A mistake on their part

Soon, gunshots were heard

Running, a boy named Felliciano came frantically down the halls

A big, grey, THING chasing after him

Its large, muscular arms flapping behind it as it ran

Teeth, as sharp as razors, lined its gapping mouth

Which remained open as it let out a blood curdling screech

Its eyes

Big black orbs full of darkness

Despair

And lost hope

Finally, it caught up to the boy

Painting the white walls a shade of crimson red

Another boy, the lone survivor

Sat alone

Huddled in a bedroom closet

Alone and afraid

Full of fear

Anxiety

And sorrow

A thud was heard next to the boys head

He turned and saw it

A spirit

The spirit of his friend, Felliciano

His body was mangled and deformed

Nerves and muscles ripped and hanging like threads from his open wounds

Chains were wrapped around his wrists

Bounding him to the floor

Like a prisoner

And his eyes....

Solid black

Just like the monsters

A scream

And then the white closet was splattered red

There is a mansion

Three hours by floor from town

NOBODY lives there
