Hi, my name is Abby and I’m 14 years old. About 2 years ago I had just moved in next door to an abandoned house. I was very interested with the story behind it. I wanted to know more about when the house was built and who lived in it. On Sunday afternoon around 5 I walked over to see if the house was unlocked. I was in luck and I was able to get in without a key. The house was dusty and had spiderwebs everywhere. I had learned that it was a 12-story house that was built about 30 years ago. The main floor was sort of creepy, so I headed upstairs. As I was passing some rooms, I heard some unfamiliar sounds. I figured that it was coming from the master bedroom which had some weird vampire vibes. As I walked in, I saw a green blob of slime. It looked friendly but then I remembered a dream that I had a few years back. I didn’t want my dream to come true, so I kept on looking in different rooms throughout the house. In one of the rooms I found an old journal that had cursive writing. Surprisingly I could read it. While I was halfway up the stairs, I heard the green slime ball behind me. I ran the rest of the way up and found a storage room. I ran to the first empty box and hid in it.
I was in the box for about 30 minutes. While I was in it, I was texting my best friend Maddy, and telling her that I was scared, and I needed help. She agreed to cause a distraction so I could run out of the house. She lived across the street and told me to wait about 10 minutes. The only thing I could think of was playing animal crossing. While I was waiting, I heard police sirens coming towards the house. Out of everything she could do she called 911. I had no choice but to come out of the box and face the green blob of slime. It had gotten bigger and slimier. When it heard the cops in the house it disappeared. I ran down quickly so they wouldn’t find me because I didn’t want to get in trouble. So, while they were searching through the rooms, I snuck downstairs very quietly. When I met up with Maddy I told her to tell them that I lived next door so they would go and tell my mom, but little did they know I was going to be in my room watching tv. So, I quickly went home cleaned up and hopped in my bed.
When the cops came over, my mom lead them to my room where I was watching the office. Maddy had told them that she heard screams that sounded like mine from the house and so I had to tell them that I was watching a scary move before. Luckily, they didn’t think I was suspicious, and I didn’t get in trouble.
