The stormy night
It was a dark and Stormy Sunday night. The air was filled with the deafening sound of thunder. Jack, a thirteen year old boy, got the chance to get out of his house as his parents were fast asleep. He couldn't sleep. "Aah! I am bored of this life", he exclaimed as he entered the street beside his house. He had ignored the sign on the entrance saying, "Don't enter! This street is dangerous" As he progressed on that street, "Help me!, came a crackling voice. Jack quickly turned around and saw an old man in a shabby condition. Jack replied, "Who are you? What do you want?". "I am David", he answerd. "My house is at end of this street. Can you please drop me that far?", he continued. Jack nodded in affirmation. While they were walking, the old man asked,"What's your name young boy?". Jack Dursley it is sir", Jack replied. All of a sudden a pack of dogs appeared out of nowhere and started barking at the old man. Jack got a bit of suspicious about him. Suddenly,he heard some strange voices telling him to go away. "Did you hear that!?, he shouted with fear. "No I didn't it is just your delusion", Mr. David exclaimed. After a while of walking down the strange street, Jack could sense the presence of someone, apart from the old man. He then heard sound of foot steps approaching them. Scared to death, as he was about to turn around, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Chills ran down his spine as he saw a terrifying lady dressed in white clothes. Her hair was all messed up, she had scary long nails and her feet twisted. "Still you don't get it? You shouldn't have helped me you fool. We are the ghosts of this street!", the old man shouted and disappeared in the air. Shocked by all of this, Jack collapsed. Alarmed by the chirping of the birds and indistinct noises of the people, Jack flickered his eyes and was surprised to see multiple faces staring him. He was confused and couldn't interpret the situation."Where am I? Where is that terrible lady and the old man? he gasped. His worried parents assured him that there was no one and he was safe now. At home, his parents asked "How did you get on that street?" It is a long story...", said Jack in a low voice
