Attractive
Horrors
It was the
eve of Halloween and the cold had settled in my bones. I had decided to setup a
party in an old Victorian era mansion and was exploring it for the first time.
I bounced towards the mansion; the aura of mystery surrounding it gave me a
thrill.
Withered
bore oak trees guarded the building casted shadows that seemed like ghosts
wherever the howling wind shook the trees. The sound of my feet crunching the
dead leaves was the only sound that could be heard besides the occasional gust
of whistling wind. I shivered when I saw a lone tombstone which had crumbled
under the weight of age and time.
I scurried
towards the gray wooden steps that led to a rather prestigious, if not ancient,
door. Small holes decorated the glass window in the door and as it open it
creaked in protest. When I saw what seemed to be the living room, I was equally
elated and frightened because the mansion was living up to my standards of a
haunted house.
The living
area had glass littered everywhere. Cobwebs decorated every nook and cranny and
I believe I saw a spider or rodent dash across the dark wooden floor boards. It
was chiller on the inside than the outside so goose bumps pebbled my skin. Or
maybe the goose bumps were from the strange adrenaline rush fear had given me?
I walked towards the pitter patter of what I assumed was a leaky faucet…
