The Haunted House
  • By: Shashwat Kala

Beginning
  • Every Year Halloween passes once again, and nobody has been brave enough to go inside the haunted house located across the road of Brian Mary. Brian was now 12 and he decided that he wanted to go inside the house, but only with his best friend Angelica Nelson.
  • Angelica watched outside her window staring at the haunted house towering above all the other houses. She always looked outside at the haunted house right before she went to bed; it was something Angelica did for as long as she could remember. Today was the day that Angelica decided that she would conquer her fears by going in the haunted house.

Brian Calls Angelica

  • thing but I can’t come today sorry. Maybe some other day.” Brian hung up just watching how his dreams shattered. But Brian promised himself that he would go into the house one day even if it was the last thing he does.
