The Horror
It was just another day of john’s life. Repeating what he did yesterday this was: waking up late morning, going to school, then cross-country. On the weekend he had work. He worked at a local super market as a cashier. Sometime he would hang out with people that he called friends though they didn’t consider him as a friend for his weird hobby. His weird hobby was to watch horror movie every night. He had been doing this for a half of decade. He did have friends, but drove them away if they tried to interfere with his daily hobby. Also he would always try to scare people by telling them detail of a grisly movie he watched. It was never clear why he had this hobby. But one theory is that the first time he saw jaws when he was younger, he was terrified, but felt good afterward because it was always fake. Everything that the TV box shows is always fake. Well At least that what John thought.
One day while he was at school a rumor started spreading around like wildfire. About a old house that was found deep in the school forest, far beyond where the cross-country trails end. It was said that the owner of that house arise every full moon. Now most people would consider this as bullcrap. But there was proof or what seem to be like proof. Someone started hanging up flyer of this rumor. On the flyer showed a strange like figure chasing after the person who took the picture. Again it could be fake because anyone well most people could use Photoshop. But when you looked at the photo, it gives off a strange alien like feeling that it might not be fake. In the picture the figure skin was multiple colors, light green, purple, dark black and red. The skin was hanging by a thread, you could see the bones in the arm, couldn’t see the face since that was kept in the dark. John was very excited when he saw this; it was the only thing that remained on his mind for the rest of the day. When school got out he went to cross-country practice, still the talk of the day was the flyer. John asked how far off is it from the X-C (cross country) trails. Nobody knew, just that it was far off. In fact nobody knows who took the picture and put the flyers up around the school. John proposed that they should check it out. All the girls on the team immediately declined. Some of the guys did too, except three, Matt, Ryan, and Eibmoz (Eib-Moz). Matt is the captain of the cross-country team. Ryan is Matt best friend also co-captain. Eibmoz was a new team member and new to the school. The guys who agreed to join John on his quest for the rumor scary house only agreed, because they think it will increase their popular rating at school, since that what everyone cared about these days. They planned on going to the place the next day, which would be Saturday, 6pm mark when the quest would start.
Next day come, John got work during the day he get out at 5pm. Give him 1hour to get his stuff together. Because he was so excited for later event, the day dragged on very slowly. Not many customers today, Eibmoz stopped by. His items were random; he said his parents wanted him to pick up some stuff. Stuff he brought: milk, tomato sauce, rope, and cheese. “Excited for tonight John?” said Eibmoz. “You bet I am! Been waiting for something like this forever!”. “Me too! Took a while to convince my parents to let me go, but in the end they caved in.” “That good” said John. “Well see you later, oh don’t forget to bring a flashlight, new moon tonight I think, so it going to be extra dark I think” said Eibmoz. “Okay thank Eibmoz” said John.
Finally 5pm come. Excitement hit me like a wave when I walked out the door from work. Quickly got home, then immediately started packing, told my parents that I’m going over a friends house and that they are playing the flash light game, hence why I’m packing all this stuff. I packed: two flash lights, yellow marker tape (to make mark so we don’t get lost), pocket knife, and a camera. Going to need proof that we went there I thought. Now it 5:30 John is all packed he leave to meet up with the other people at school. When he arrived at 5:55, he sees everyone else is already there. Everyone exchanged some words, and then off they went. Everyone had light color clothes on except Eibmoz; he was wearing pure black clothes. His excuse was that, if we ran into the crazy rumor figure he may want to hide. Everyone laughed about this, John think it was even funny, because if the rumor is true then most likely wearing black clothes is not going to stop the creature. Everybody brought cameras, though Eibmoz had the nicest camera Nikon 6000 Super Flash XLS. So as they were walking in the woods, they approached the end of the XC trails, a big gust of wind swept past them, then they heard a big *THUD!* “Whoa what was that!” scream Eibmoz said. “Great Gatsby”! said matt. Ryan stayed quieted. “Relax guys it was probably a tree, that gust of wind was pretty strong, I’m sure there some rotten trees in these woods” said John. Nether less they trekked on. Before they stepped off the end of the trail john cut a piece of that yellow marker tape and wrapped it around a branch. He did this every few minute while they were walking, everyone was glad the thought of this, because it would really suck to be lost in the woods at this time. Matt checked his watch it say 7pm, they reached the end of the trail at about 6:30, so they had been wandering for 30min in unexplored land. The forest started getting denser, so everyone single file up, with John in the front, Eibmoz second, Matt third, and Ryan fourth. They crossed a stream, now the time on Matt watch says 8:30. It was dark now, new moon tonight so there no moonlight, everyone had their flashlight out, Eibmoz flashlight shined the brightest. “Guys I think we’re going the wrong way or something, it been 2 hours…the forest is dozen of miles thick, and I don’t want to get lost granted that john been marking the way, still hard to see those” said Eibmoz. “Ah don’t be a sissy Eibmoz” said Matt. “He does have a point” said John. “Well let hurry up and find it” said Ryan. They decided to trek on a little more forward, if nothing come up then they were going to go home and try again another day. Little did they know there wouldn’t be another day…The density of the forest immediately decreased and now it was just shrubs and random thick trees in some spot. They came to a clearing. A couple massive pine trees hurdle together, once they walked past that. They saw what they been looking for…The house! Still doesn’t make the rumor true yet…They go to the house, there a giant metal knocker on it. John pull on it and release it, it make multiple loud thud that echo throughout the house. They walked in. The smell of decay and rot arose to their nose. The smell of stink burned their nose. “Holy frosting cheese!” scream Ryan. “P.U man” said John. “Eww smell like something died here” said Eibmoz. “Wow that stink bad, like really bad” said Matt. They wander around the house, everything was rotted. The walls and floors were falling apart, they made their way to the master bed room to be greeted with…clean? The room was completely clean. It’s too clean for a room to be when the room is rotting away. Everyone thought this was particular strange but didn’t think too much of it. They checked the kitchen, here more evidence show the rumor being possibly true. A body was found, it looked just like the one in the flyer… in fact it is the same one! “What the?!” cried Ryan. “This is really weird…” said John. “Houston we got a problem” said Matt. “Hey where did Eibmoz go”? said John. Everyone saw that he was gone. “He was right next to me” said Ryan. They looked for him, they decide to spread up to find him. John would heck the 1st floor, the floor they were on, Matt would check upstairs and Ryan would check downstairs. They looked for 20min, no sign of him, John walked by the door they came in, saw his yellow marker he put on the door as proof that they were here. But it wasn’t yellow; he shone his flashlight on it, blistering red…what the hell John thought. After carefully examined it, memories of horror movies he seen in the past started floated in his head. Blood….it’s blood! He thought. Then a hard whack came behind him. He blacked out.
When he came to, he saw nothing but a dim light that shined on the ground in front of him. He was tied to a chair, he saw two other figures. Matt and Ryan! “Guys what the hell is going on?! cried John. “I don’t know, I was looking around then felt something whack me in the back of the head” said Ryan. “Same here” said Matt. Then they heard foot step come down the stairs, The figured moved very slowly…they heard a low groaning sound with every step it took. Everyone tried moving, hopping with the chair, which was basically impossible since the chair was heavy metal. The figure came up behind Ryan first, then it said in a low voice “Why are you in my house”? “I was force to come here”! cried Ryan. “Wrong answer” it said then pulled Ryan out of the dim light, you could hear him scream then a piercing scream came from him, then dead silent. “Oh my god he killed him! Scream Matt. This can’t be happening thought John. Then it came up behind Matt and asked the same question. “Because we heard about the rumor and wanted to see if it true” Matt said. Again the figure said “wrong answer” then it grab hold of Matt and dragged him in the dark. Then he screamed his painful cry, dead silent afterward. Oh my god this can’t be happening, I want to go home. I regret coming here, I regret watching those horror movies. I’m going to die here John thought. The figure came up to him and asked the same question. John said nothing. He was sure what Matt said would had been the answer but now he not sure. But since he not sure he figure he should just be quiet. When he said nothing, the figure came in front of him and sat in a chair that he dragged from the dark, it was covered with dripping blood. It was Eibmoz! “Eibmoz why!? Why you doing this? What the hell wrong with you?” “Figure you might have been able to figure this out… Since you claim to be a horror movie expert. Then he said what my name? John replied “Eibmoz”. “Now reverse that” Eibmoz said. Took john a min…Then horror overcame him. Zombie. “You’re a zombie?” “Correct, no doubt you found my body upstairs in the kitchen, that was my original body, but this body who belong to an unfortunate kid who got lost in the woods. But I’m tired of this body, which is why I’m going to take yours. Zombie gets up and starts walking to John. John is screaming his head off, then for some reason he blurted out if I live I’m never watching a horror movie ever again. Zombie pulled him into the dark, now John can’t see anything. He closed his eye and waited for the job to be done, for his life to end. Few seconds goes by. He open them, he is in his bed. “Wow just a dream” he said. Then he fall back to sleep and sleep soundly. The next day he goes to school, while in class a new student is introduced, his name is Eibmoz. John froze, the teacher decided they were going to watch a horror film, which was going to be part of a school project. John left class saying he can’t watch horror movie anymore.
