Tales of the Dead

The Screams

It was in the month of November , 2015.

I walked down the paved road , as the wind howled and the skies began to darken . I shivered even in my warm winter clothes . My house was almost there but it seemed like forever . The more l walked faster , the faster the skies darkened , the winds howl now sounded like a pack of wolves howling . I tried to ignore the environment as it started to give me creeps . I tried walking faster but it seemed to take forever even though every time I picked up my head to look , it always seemed like it was around the corner but I just wouldn't reach there . I stopped , stood and stared at my entire neighbourhood and realised , everything was covered in moss and glasses broken , technically the houses were almost torn down . I wondered what happened , I was terrified . This time , l ran to my house but every time l would came back to the same point . Then I heard someone evil and startling laughter ,it echoed from every where , I ran to one of the torn down houses and then l came to halt and saw a girl of my age ,just petrified on the floor , l asked her what's been going on ? She just kept repeating "When it's Dusk ,He comes." I squinted and tried to understand what she meant , I heard the laughter again ,l had no choice but to leave her cause she just wouldn't get up . I ran and hid in a closet . I could see through silver of the closet door . I saw a man , almost 7 feet tall . He had a gas mask on his face and he was wearing some suit which was filled with blood . She spotted the girl and his terrifying laughter again echoed everywhere . I shakes my head vigorously  as I saw him pick the girl up with one hand and rip it off from a body like as if it was a piece of cake , l see blood just gushing out of her torn arm and her screaming filling my head with pain and agony . I muffled my own scream and I prayed everything goes back to normal , I cried silently and waited . The man never found me and when it was Dawn , l got out of the closet . Went out to see that the neighbourhood was perfectly fine and ran to my house in tears . I knocked my house door , tears trickling down my face like l had seen a ghost , technically something more terrifying . I went inside and told my mom everything , she then told me that the neighbourhood holds this secret and no one ever gets out of the house after 6 pm . After that the police never found that girl and l made a vow to never get out of the house after 6.
