The weeping house

Jack is a sporty 12 year old boy who has two best friends, Sophie and Nathan. Sophie is all looks and Nathan is all brains. This is their horror story, but it’s not a story…it’s real…

It was a sunny Monday morning and the three friends were walking to school together. Every day they have to walk past this ancient, ramshackled house with no windows. ”Hey guys did you just hear that … that weird weeping noise?!” suddenly exclaimed Jack.

“No Jack, it must have been your imagination.” replied Sophie. “What time did you go to bed?”

“Oh, only midnight. “Replied Jack while sleepingly rubbing his eyes.

“Well you must still be half asleep!” joked Sophie and they all set off to school.

The next day when they walked past the old creepy house there was a weeping noise that they all heard, ”OMG, did you guys just hear that! It was like a zombie crying or something like that!!”Shouted Sophie.

“It sounded more like a cyber-logical atom that is compressed by the forces of gravity,” exclaimed Nathan like he was a scientist.

“Do you always have to give a scientific explanation Nathan,” butted in Sophie.

“No, I can give a mathematical explanation if you’d like, “replied Nathan.

“Guys, we really need to have a look in that house; there is something just not right about it” said Jack under his breath and that is exactly what they did.

That night they all ventured into the house with trepidation and also with courage. They had all packed torches, ropes, penknives and Jack randomly took a high powered water pistol. ”Who put the water pistol in my backpack?! It’s just ruined my best make-up powder!!!” cried Sophie.

Jack slowly opened the door, just a crack.  ”Hello is anybody there?” he said timidly. There was no answer, just a deadly silence. He took out his water pistol and took a step inside the old, eerie house.

“Poo! It smells like dead rats in here”, said Sophie. “Luckily I packed an extra bottle of perfume” and at that exact moment she started spraying it around her. They looked around trying to find something that looked out of place but everything just looked normal.

“Found anything?” said Jack, as they all found each other again.

“No sorry, it was just room after room of old things,” replied Sophie. “But Nathan found this weird stair case which looked like something from a horror film.”

“Ok let’s have a look and check it out.” said Jack and they slowly made their way to the stairs. They all looked up to see if there was anything weird. Jack slowly like a mouse tiptoed upstairs and looked around. Nothing, except from a wooden door.

“Be careful, there might be something on the other side of the door! “Said Sophie in a scared voice. Jack slowly opened the door a crack and peeped in side, but it was just a brick wall.

“What!?”Suddenly pronounced Jack. “It’s a brick wall, look.”

They all had a peep inside and it was true it was just a brick wall.

“Come on let’s just turn around and get out of this creepy place. “Said Nathan and they all headed for the stairs but at the bottom of the stairs was the thing that had been making the sound all along…it was a tall man in a cloak.

“I have been expecting you! “And with that he raised his sickle … and then all that could be herd was the weeping of three friends…
