The Rumor
“Hey why are we going so far back in these woods?” said JJ “Just follow me.” said Caleb
Caleb is a 17 year old kid a senior in high school and JJ is his little brother. JJ is 14 and a freshman in high school. They live in a town by Atlanta Georgia . They were all most half a mile into the woods, it was so pitch black it looked like they were inside of a box. The only light they have is from their phone screens, “Can we go back? I’m cold.” said JJ “No, we are close. I need to see if the rumors are true.” said Caleb “I don’t even know where we are going it’s 11:30 p.m. and we left at 10:00 p.m. don’t you think mom and dad will be mad!” yelled JJ “They don’t know were gone.” Caleb said
“We are close I can see their fire.” said Caleb “Who’s fire?” JJ questioned “The test subjects” Caleb whispered so silently JJ could barely hear what he said. “These ‘subjects’ were made in a lab, and the creators failed horribly the subjects escaped and now they live here.” Caleb said “ They look like they have been thrown in a fire a few times.” JJ said as he checked the time it was 1:19 a.m. JJ started to back up to leave but he snapped a twig when he backed up. The twig sounded like a gunshot in the quietness, when the subjects heard it sounded like a freight train going through a quiet town at night . They heard a bunch of screams, yells and cries from the subjects.
Caleb looked down at JJ and yelled “RRUUUNNN!” The two of them ran as fast as they could back. They got about half way and stopped by a creek . JJ looked at his phone it said it was 2:00 a.m. he wasn’t worried about being late he was worried about getting away from these ‘subjects’ finding them and them not being able to get home, all JJ wanted to do is go home and sleep in his bed.
“Alright lets get out of here and get home!” Caleb said “Ok” JJ responded. “I know that if we cross this creek its a short-cut.” Caleb said to JJ. They swam across the creek and climbed up the hill on the other side. They ended up in a field so flat it looked like it was a parking lot.
They started running and saw lights to the city. “Keep it up we’re almost home!” yelled caleb. They heard yells and groans then Caleb got tackled “NO!” JJ yelled then JJ was tackled.
JJ woke up in the house confused. He heard a bunch of laughing down stairs. He walked down stairs and it was Caleb a few of his friends and their parents. There was clothes and masks that looked like the subjects II was really confused. They all started laughing when they saw JJ then Caleb came up to him and told him it was a prank “Your little prank scared me!” Then everybody busted out in laughter.
