[COMPLETED] Living Ghosts (2019)

Chapter 1 - Weird Game

"This is a spiritual game where you have to go around the school building using stairs while saying prayers. You might meet ghosts and faint, but you have to be able to complete this game. Together with your friend, you have to go from this room as the main point and return. There is nothing to help you, you have to be brave," said John the game's chairman.

I and June got the second turn, we are the second team after Christ and Mella as the first team. June sat nervously while I anxiously awaited the arrival of the first team.

"Are you afraid?" I approached June.

"Of course! If I meet a ghost I think I will... FAINT!"

I chuckled, "This will be our first experience as a new freshman, just enjoy it, we might meet a handsome ghost."

"Even though they are handsome they are still ghosts!"

The first team just returned, no fearful expression on their faces made me a little relieved. But John approached and whispered, "Of course, this is easy for them, every day they see the invisible creatures." I turned and John just smiled.

Now is the second team's turn. With only one flashlight we walked around the school building which has three floors using stairs from end to end. I walked in front while June walked behind me holding my shirt tightly. We passed the first floor, now we go to the second floor. This girl getting tighter and tighter holding my shirt made it difficult for me to walk.

"June, you can tear my shirt!" June didn't respond, instead, she hid her face behind my back. Slowly I turned to the front, emphasizing my view.

"SHIT...!" I curse in my mind.

It's already midnight, there shouldn't be anyone in this school, even if it's a school guard I doubt it. But now what is in front of me is a group of people with their dull white clothes, walking here and there also chatting, I even feel this is not night time but day time.

"Nora..." June whispered, "I think we should go back, I don't want to faint here and be surrounded by them."

I took a deep breath, this was halfway and I hesitate to return. Anyway, it seems like they are good ghosts.

"We can't. Look, it looks like they--" I froze when the ghosts suddenly turned and looked at us.

"AaaAAAaaaAAA...!" June shouted and ran, leaving me alone.

"Damn!" I took a step back but immediately remembered the sentence of staying here the next day as punishment.

"Instead I have to go back tomorrow night, I'll face it better! John also didn't say anything to finish this game together."

Taking a deep breath, I stepped forward while holding the flashlight tightly. These ghosts increasingly looked at me and slowly gave room for me to pass. I'm happy of course but didn't mean it because every time I walk they will give me a very intense gaze. In this silence and stiffness, I could hear the pounding of my own heart.

"Oh, God... I'm going crazy!"
