In the year 1998, 17-year-old Tony has just finished his junior year of high school. Tony's parents are going away for the summer on vacation and are hiring 21-year-old Chase, Tony's oldest cousin, to babysit him while they're gone. His mom only all...
When we let go, we were back in the attic, clean, and in our normal clothes. We looked at where the game board was supposed to be and in its place was the demon himself with a crow on his shoulder. "I am proud of all of you for facing your fears and overcoming them. Now, before I bid my farewells, you must make a choice on whether or not you would like to make a wish. It is only one wish amongst all of you and using it will mean you have to pass the game down to your future children," The Alp said.

We all looked at each other and nodded. "No, we don't want to pass this burden down to our kids. This wasn't fun at all." I explained. "Well, it was a little fun," Jessi added. We all looked at her weird. "Yeah, I'm going to shut up now," she said. We're done with this game, for good." I concluded. "I understand your position, you're a wise young man. Farewell, young ones, I look forward to when we shall meet again," He said as a black fog began to surround him. "And where would that be?" Ash asked. "At your funerals," The Alp said. He began to laugh as he was consumed by the black fog and disappeared. "Well, I'm scared for life," Chase said.
"At least we can relax for the rest of the summer," I said as we walked downstairs. "Ooh, let's order some pizza!" Jessi yelled. "I don't know guys," Chase said as we walked into the living room. "Pizza! Pizza! Pizza!" we all chanted. "Alright fine. I'll order some pizza," Chase said. "As much as I hated that game, at least we got to learn things about each other that we never knew before. It made us and our friendship stronger," Kim said. "Yeah, and Jessi, I'm proud of you," I said. "We all are," Ash added. "Thanks, guys," Jessi said.
As he ordered the pizza my parents walked in the door. "What are you guys doing home?" I asked. "Our trip is over honey, you guys start school in a week," my mom said. "What?" I said confused. I turned on the news to see what day it was, and sure enough, it was Monday, August 17th, a week before the first day of school. We all looked at each other and started groaning with disappointment.

Twenty years later in June of 2018, another group of teenagers heard a thump come from their attic and the box was found once again... (dun, dun, dun)
