CHAPTER THREE: TELL ME YOUR STORY
SUBMISSION 20
Normal day, went to get spray paint from the garage and
while I was there, my tiny little cousin comes in and tells me
his friend’s hurt. First I was concerned and then I remembered
he didn’t have any friends over. He came with his parents and
that was all. So I asked where his friend was and he points
to one of the corners of the garage. From my experience of
watching limited horror movies, I know if you look behind, you
die or worse - possessed for the rest of your life; and little kids
are always the first ones to see spirits in movies so I didn’t
want to take any chances. At this point I’m just cursing in my
head but then I tried to think what I could do next. Not turning
around, I tried to befriend my “cousin’s friend” aka the ghost
in my garage. I told my cousin to check on his friend and as-
sure if the friend was fine now. I tried to be as nice as I could
but I could hear the faking in my voice but I continued - I had
to save myself; and my cousin would be fine because he didn’t
live here. I exited the garage as soon as I could and took my
cousin with me; and the spray paint was no longer required.
