Grandmother
on the last day of school my mom tells me we are going to my grandfather's for the summer since he was all alone, you see my grandmother died last year that's my mom's mother
I was not happy about leaving my friends behind for the summer especially after I had just met a cute boy at school he was new to our school and our town, it's a week later and here we are packing for a trip to see grandfather
mom said it was not a long drive,
I slept a lot listening to my music the whole way, woke up to my mom telling me we are almost there, grandfather lives out on the far end of town by the mountains, so mom stoped in town and grabbed a few pizzas before getting to grandfather's place, just incase there was no food in his fridge mom smiled, immediately on arriving I could not figure it out but there was something strange going on I grabbed my stuff to shower my towel, body wash and my robe,
when I got out of the shower it was steaming in the bathroom since I love taking hot showers as I step out of the shower it soon starts to clear up a little, i see what looks like a handprint on the mirror on the wall over the sink, I put my hand over the hand that I saw on the mirror it wasn't a match, I thought maybe my mother's hand, I thought maybe while I was showering she come in and left it at that, I finished getting dressed, a week or two later my mom takes grandfather into town I took the opportunity Snoop went up to the Attic and continue to look around that's when I saw grandmother's wedding dress it was Lace white and beautiful with a matching vell, just a few minutes after, a white box with white flowers all the way around it, just fell off the shelf but I needed the key to open it, I searched what seemed like hours and still no key,
so I put the box back on the Shelf, as I walk around the house I will keep an eye out for a small key, mother would be home soon with grandfather's so I sat and watched some TV , and as I sit there I heard someone say help me I only hear it when I have it on a certain Channel in the next two days I began to see things that are not normal like Shadows that move from one room to another calls for help I told myself maybe I was just so tired I was seeing things or hearing things, grandfather wanted to take a shower but the shower in his bathroom was not working so he had to use the one out in the hallway that me and Mom use and as I was passing his room the door was open and I just wanted to take a quick peek around as I was leaving his room I saw a small skeleton key right at the foot of his bed I picked it up and never said a word the next day grandfather went to church, so I sneaked into the attic once more with that key in hand,
I grab that white flowered box and the key went to my room ..I opened up one of those pale white envelopes and continue to read on, a love letter I thought to myself and i continue to read it, they were written by my grandmother, the others were written by George and my grandfather's name is John there were so many , so I continue to read them, as I laid in my bed trying to sleep I cannot wait to wake up and read some more my grandmother letters she talked about how she met George, and I even read about their secret affair is not too much of a secret now, I started having dreams about grandfather long hallways and covered in blood I had that dream for a week straight, something was trying to tell me something so much blood in the attic and hallway, as I read and start getting to the end of the letters they began to get stranger no longer love her happiness with George but how grandfather found out, she was scared of grandfather and how he found her journal and found out about George and a grandmother, I got to the last letter ,grandmother said that grandfather told her he would kill her and he could make it look like accident, he would shove her down the stairs I remember my mom telling me how grand mother died she fell down the stairs and broke her neck a terrible accident I was so scared, I took the letter to my moms and explain what I had read and my mom started reading one of grandmothers letters, my mom was in shocke, she went down to the police department she talking with an officer explaining giving him the letters hours later the man I was new as grandfather was in jail for the murder of my grandmother
