Finally! It was the night before Halloween. We had just hosted a huge Halloween party and I was so tired. I really wanted to go to bed but my parents said we had to wait until everybody left. My dad could tell that I was tired, so finally, he let me go to bed.
When I got into bed, I immediately closed my eyes and began drifting off to sleep. As I started to fall asleep, I heard some tapping noise on my window. At first, I thought it was just some other noise, but it kept getting louder and louder until I could not sleep anymore. So, I got up and went to my window, but there was nothing there. When I turned around, I felt something touch my neck and slide down my shirt.
It was a note. I opened it up and read, “Follow me”. I did not think it was that big of a deal but then suddenly the window opened, and I got pulled onto the roof by my arms.
I was so confused until the dude who pulled me onto the roof asked me what the note said, and I replied by saying “Follow me”.
“Why did you not do that?” he said.
“Well…” I began. I got stopped midway because I realized that he was not even listening to what I was saying, instead he was hopping from roof to roof. So, I followed him. I really wondered where we were going but every time, I would try to ask him he would say “We are going to a place.”
Then I asked what his name was, and he said it was an enigma. Once we had reached ‘the place’ he told me whatever I did to not scream. At this point my mind was whirling with questions like will I die? Will the enigma guy die? Will we get sucked up into a portal that will teleport me to my bed?
It felt like a century later when I woke up, I felt like I was on wet soil, and I was! Then I heard a familiar voice. It was the enigma guy.
“I knew it was you,” I said.
He was holding a knife.
“What are you doing with that?” I asked.
“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you,” he said.
We were in a graveyard. I got up and started to walk around the graveyard, and closely examine all the graves and the names until I found the one that the enigma dude was closest to.
“This is my mom’s grave,” he explained.
“So, your mom’s, like, dead?” I asked.
He nodded, pouting his lips.
“Oh,” I said, feeling bad.
“I know you feel bad“, he said.
“YOU CAN READ MY MIND?” I yelled.
“I have my ways,” he replied.
“What am I thinking of now?” I asked.
“You are getting off topic. Anyways, as I was saying, my mom died, and it’s time for me, too. I have been on this earth long enough.”
With that he got on his knees and took the knife that was holding and said, “Bury me.”
Then he took the knife and stabbed it right into his stomach and he died. I got on all fours and started to bury him in the ground. Then, I heard some footsteps. I turned around and saw another person.
“Who are YOU?” I asked.
“I am ROBERT.”
With that he took out a bow and arrow and loaded up an arrow. After that, he shot me with precise aim in the neck. Sadly no one was there to bury me.
