Short Stories

Poor and Rich

Hey,
My name is Richard Feriza, local historian and I'm here to tell you about the towns scary story. We are currently unaware but for some reason only those with a historians blood in their veins is able to tell this story. We know this because those who aren't historians and have told this story to someone have all died the next day.

Long ago this town was about two times as large as it is now but all that changed 300 years ago. The town was split in half the poor people who work for the rich people live on one side of town and the rich the other. However, one day for reasons still unknown the poor and the rich people had a fight. Poor stopped working for Rich and they all stayed on their side of town divided by a large stone wall with only a single ladder to use to cross between the two. A few months later a concert was held on the Rich side of town starring a famous folk singer. Because of this most Poor decided to cross to the Rich side to go to this concert. This included the Mayor of the poor side and his family, all of them apart from one. The Mayors only son, Rudazi chose to stay along with three of his friends. They were the only ones left on Poor side which was now a ghost town.

At the concert the townspeople were having a blast and had settled their disagreement. Once the concert was over the two Mayors went back stage to thank the folk singer but when they found him, he was dead. Worried about the safety of the children in Poor the Mayor and all the townspeople went to look for them but...
What they saw terrified them. It was them. All the people that were living in Poor were looking from the top of the wall down into Poor and saw themselves. Only, they were dead. Body's covered in blood. Then one by one they started dying. Soon everyone that had lived in Poor was dead. Except. The Mayors son and his friend were never found.

I know this sounds like a bunch of superstition, but hear me out. About 50 years ago a group of young boys went over that very same wall. Of course the town over on the other side is in ruins but when they came back one of them said "I saw it. The town I saw it! It wasn't in ruins when I turned around I saw it. There were people! A young boy with long brown hair and grey eyes. A long with three others! I saw them! They were... so white, it looked painful. Don't call me crazy I saw it. I SAW IT!!!" A few days later the young lad died his friends are still unaccounted for. But, the strangest thing is the Mayors son was described as a young boy with long light brown hair and grey eyes.
