You are sitting beside a tree reading a book when a snake starts to tie you too the tree with he's body. You start to struggle when a boy appears out of no where

"stop struggling or you will strangle."
"Okay I stop" you says stopping struggle.
"Have you read this book?" the boy asks handing you a worn out book.
"No I don't read too much."
"Do you like horror?
"Yes I love horror but I love more romantic books" you answer a little unsure of why he's asking you these questions.
"This book is called 'The Monkey's Paw'. Do you know what it is?
"No I do not. Tell me about it."
"Well it's a story about a man who finds a magical monkey's paw. If you rub it, something will happen if you do it."
"Whats happen?" you asks in a curious tone.
"I don't know. I just know that it is dangerous."
"Oh thats interesting" you say rolling your eyes.
"I have found that when I read stories, I get scared then I don't feel scared anymore. Do you feel scared now?
"No I'm not scared"
"Oh" he sadness and disappointment clear in his voice.
"Why are you sad? And why are you wearing a mask?" you ask.
"Because I'm sad that I have no friends and I'm sad that I have to wear a mask so people won't know who I am.
"I can be your friend" you says smiling
"You won't tell anyone will you?"
"No"
"Oh thank you thank you!" he shouts while hugging you.

You hug him back confused at first but then you feel something Different, you feel a strange tingling sensation around your neck that the boy has been hugging you too.

"When did you put this on me? I didn't feel anything."
"A few minutes ago I put it on you and now you're feeling it so it must be working. We have to go now or we will miss the ghost train.
"Okay" you say getting up confused.

The boy grabs your hand as we walk to the station and you feel the same sensation but its very faint.
"What's your name?" the boy asks.
"My name is y/n" you answer
"My name is Zero. We have to hurry or we will miss the ghost train."
Zero runs up the tracks as you follow as fast as you can. You trip and fall because your feet slip on the snowy rail.

"Ah!" you shout as snow flies all over.

"Y/n are you alright?" Zero asks turning to you.
"Yeah I'm fine" you reply standing up.
"Let's try this again shall we?" Zero says taking your hand again.
You feel the same sensation as before but its much stronger now.
"This way." Zero says leading you up the tracks.
You follow Zero through the snowy woods until you come to a set of tracks leading to a ghost train.
"Its over here." Zero says.
"What is this?" you ask.
"This is the ghost train. If you board it will take you on a spooky ride through the woods. It's very fun."
"Let's go!" you say.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Zero asks again.
"I'm fine now." You reply.
"Alright let's do this."
Zero walks up to the ghost train and you follow. You climb onto the train as the doors close. The ghost train begins to move along the tracks. You feel a little nervous but it's actually quite fun. Zero hops on and sits next to you while you're holding the handrail on the side for him.
"This is so cool!" Zero shouts.
"Yeah I love this" you say while looking out the window.
After some time has passed the ghost train comes to a stop.
"I think we're here." Zero says as the doors open.
"Yeah I sense something weird going on here." You say.
"Let's go explore."
You and Zero get off the ghost train and begin to explore the ghost town that has appeared around you.
You fell like something is wrong
Like why have you listen to what Zero have said to you to do and why are you in a ghost town.
You ask yourself these questions but can't find an answer.
"Hey Zero."
"Yes?
"Why am I here?" you asks.
"To have fun of course."
"But I don't understand why I'm here."
"Do you feel sleepy?"
"A little."
"Good" he says and hands you a ghostly cupcake.
"Zero, what the hell?" you ask.
"Drink it, it's made of candy."
You look at the cupcake and then Zero. You put the cupcake in your mouth and feel sleepy.
"Zzzzz..." you begin to say as you fall down...
— The End
