Bedtime Story
By:Andrew Alexanian
It was a dark and scary night. A terrible storm was coming in a few hours. There were tornado warnings so the family of 3 moved into the basement for the night.Our cable went out a few hours ago but not the power. Hi we're The Perona’s we live on Broadway Ln in Derry, Georgia. It was a small town right outside of Atlanta. I was telling a bedtime story to his son Larry.
“Dad Please one more story! I’m not tired yet!!”
“Fine” said dad.
A long time ago when I was about 11 I went to my friend Joe’s house to have a sleepover. This was my first sleepover ever. We decided to sneak out and go to an abandoned insane asylum. We found a dark and spooky room with a ton of spiders and graffiti. We decided to play the game Ouija. Ouija is a game where you ask spirits questions. We had started playing by putting our 2 fingers on the eye. I was so petrified, I wanted to get the heck out already it seemed very sketchy and spooky. My first question was will I live tonight? It didn't move for a few seconds then started moving to yes but at the last second it dashed to no. I was so scared I said to Joe can we get the heck out of this place. Joe wanted to ask it one more question and that question was if he could look through the eye. It said yes. He put the eye to his eyes and looked around. A few seconds later he started to cry. He said he saw some face strangling his parents to death. Joe said let's go home. So we said bye to the spirit but forgot to keep our fingers on. We were running back to Joe’s and saw a shadow in the distance. We got inside the house and locked all the doors. Joe’s parents were dead. His dad was sitting on the couch and his shirt was covered in blood. His dog was barking like crazy trying to tell us something. We found his mom hung in his room. All of her limbs were cut off. They started moving and grabbing the dog. We ran into his parents room and got his dad's gun which only had 1 bullet left in it. Joe grabbed the gun and shot the arm and both arms ran away and the dog started to cry.. The dogs name was Hudson. Hudson was badly wounded. He couldn't use his front paw. Joe was crying. We then heard the front door open and close. We went to check even though we were so terrified We then checked the basement. We went down the stairs and saw the tv on. It was something about how 100 years ago tonight a man from the insane asylum escaped and brutally murdered and hung 11 people. We both ran upstairs into Joe's room with Hudson. We were so hungry we could eat a horse. Joe and I heard something in his parents room but refused to come out. We also heard something in Joe's sister's room. We decided to go into his sister's room to find “Hi Joe” smeared in blood. We darted into Joe's room and locked the door but heard something from his closet. Joe went to check and never came back. I finally opened the closet to find Joe’s head ripped off. Bang! The door slammed. I was crying like crazy and jumped out the window and ran for my life. I had ran back to the insane asylum to play once again to stop the spirit from killing me. I put my 2 fingers on the board and asked if I could play. The spirit said yes. I asked him if he would kill me or my family. It didn't move for a little bit so I asked again and it moved to no. I was relieved and made up with the spirit and never played ouija again.
By the time I had finished the story the storms had passed and Larry was dead asleep. It was time to hit the hay. The next morning I woke up and asked if Larry remembered any part of the story. He said no.
