I and my friends, Jack and Peter, were playing around an old, abandoned mansion. We were told that no
one was allowed to enter. However, curiosity overcame us and we picked the lock, granting us entrance
into the sacred lair of the unknown.

I opened the door. To my horror, a few skeletons lay there, chained on the wall. At the sight of the
skeletons, the three of us were completely stunned. Our jaw hung wide open for a few minutes before we
came back to our senses. My sixth sense told me that something was about to go wrong, so I urged the
other two to back out of the mansion. However, after discussing again, we decided to go further into the
house.

Throughout the lair, we did not lose sight of skeletons or spider webs. The occasional howls from a
distance made the hair on our backs stand up straight. We finally arrived at a long hallway. Under the
moonlight, I was able to see the walls clearly. There were ancient writings, the kind we usually see in an
Egyptian grave robber movie. At that very moment, a cold chill went down my spine.

“Let’s get out of here,” suggested Jack.

I got to my feet swiftly and we sped through the building. My


heart was racing. I could hear blood pounding in my ears. Wait,
was that a creak I heard? “Uh-oh,” I thought to myself. The
ceiling began to crumble. I sprang forward and tackled Jack.
Both of us fell to the ground. Just as I thought that trouble was
out of the way, the door opened. A huge figure stood in front
of it, its shadow fell upon us.
