Fun House

It is mid October, the North Chicago wind is blowing solftly. The air is dry and \ |firstBlockOfText>[(\ (link: "60 degrees")[ (set: $variableName to "60 degrees") (replace: ?firstBlockOfText)[60 degrees] (show: ?secondBlockOfText)] \ or \ (link: "45 degrees")[ (set: $variableName to "45 degrees") (replace: ?firstBlockOfText)[45 degrees] (show: ?secondBlockOfText)]\ ?)] You hear your phone buzzing and take a look. Laura, Brock, and Nancy are begging you to go to the new haunted house with them. What do you text the back? [[Fuck yes, I am so down]] [[Absolutely not, y'all know I hate that shit]]

Nancy texted back "perfect, be ready in five" Good thing I was already ready, I thought to myself. I hear soft bumping from a distnce and run to the window. I guess Brock got a new bass for his truck or something because that shit was loud. Brock is hanging out the window and is screaming "get in bitch" as if the bass wasn't loud enough \ |firstBlockOfText>[(\ (link: "I sprint to the car and get in")[ (set: $variableName to "I sprint to the car in get in") (replace: ?firstBlockOfText)[I sprint to the car and get in] (show: ?secondBlockOfText)] \ or \ (link: "I throw brock the middle fingers")[ (set: $variableName to "I throw Brock the middle fingers") (replace: ?firstBlockOfText)[I throw Brock the middle fingers] (show: ?thirdBlockOdText)]\ ?)] and [[We all leave for the huanted house]]

Nancy replies and says "you do not have an option Charie, we need another guy to go!" "No, I am not trying to die today guys." "Well we are outside of your house, get in pussy" [[back->Friends text you]]

OMG my stomach is doing flips and I feel like I am about to puke. Laura says to get behind her in line (which is the very back) But Brock is telling you to get at the front and stop being a little pussy. (He knows I’ve had a crush on Nancy forever and that I need to look like a man. What do I do? [[Go get behind Laura-> Tell Brock to fuck off]] [[Listen to Brock-> Go to the front of the line]]

“Oh goodness, thank god you got behind me. There is no way I can be at the back.” Says Laura “Yea, you’re welcome.” “I hope Nancy doesn’t get mad though, I know she likes you.” “Really? I couldn’t tell” [[Move by Nancy]] [[Stay where you are]]

“Atta boy show them how it’s done” says Brock “yeah yeah shut up Brock, I don’t see you up here” “okay well let’s get this show on the road!” I make my first step and come to a corner. An expected scare from a tall masked man with a blood fave pops out. I take it like a champ, but I can hear the girls screamingin the back and I can't help but laugh. We walked into the next room. There was a girl laying face up in a torn night gown. I stopped at the doorway. I could't tell if she was real for fake. "Come on Charlie! Keep walking!" Said Laura I looked back at her and let out a grin "I'm goin, I'm goin" I said and proceeded wiht my next step. we are making our way around the bed to the next doorway when I feel Brock yank on my shoulder. "AH! Something just grabbed my leg!" He siad. I quickly look and there is nothing there. "AAHHH!" screamed Nancy "Let go of me!" Two hands were wrapped around her ankle and were pulling her towards the bed. Brock stomped on the hands and they finally let go. She jumped into my arms. I could feel her heart pumping through her back. "What kinf of haunted house is this?" Brock said. "Alright lets just get out of here." Nancy said. [[She jumped out of my arms]]

"I think I am going to move by Nancy" "Okay, thats okay I understand" From the way she looked at me I could tell it bothered her, but I couldn't pass up this opportunity. I mean think about it, this is my chance to finally make a move on her. [[Then]]

"I'll just stay here" I said. "Oh thank goodness. Can I be honest?" said Laura. "Yeah, what's up? I said in a concerned tone. "I really like you, but don't tell Nancy, she would flip." "Why would she flip?" I said "Because she told me she likes you, but I have liked you longer." [[Then]]

We make our way into the haunted house. There are red lights beaming around the room. We all squeese as tight as possible together in order to get through the first hallway that leads to the first room and we can hear loud banging and screaming from a distance. Okay take a deep breath, and move in.Before I could even blink the door slams behind us. Brock is saying "uhh, is it starting now?" A loud, deep, petrifying voice comes out of nowhere leaving me in chills. "This is not a game. Find the exit. If you fail to find the exit in ten minutes you will all die." "Oh fuck" said Brock. Chills climb up by spine and neck, Nancy and Laura hooked arms with me and pulled us in a tight group. "Help, help! Something has happened! Let us out!!!" Their screams sounded like bloody murder. We all started banging on the door. Nothing. Just empty, pitch blackness and scilence. The girls grabbed me and begged me to [[Do something!]]

My heart feels like it is about to pop out of my chest. I feel like I have shut down. I can’t think. I can’t process anything. Laura and Nancy are only screaming louder. “Guys! You need to listen to me! Calm down! Everything is going to be okay!” I said. “Just reach for my hands and follow the sound of my voice!” I said. “Okay okay” they repeated. [[“Brock! Where are you man?!” ]]

The room is filled with silence. I get the worst uneasy feeling that I have ever felt in my life. This cannot be happening. “Brock!” I screamed again. Still no reply. “Where is he?? You don’t just disappear into thin air!” Said the girls. This better not be some filthy joke. This is sick. Who would fucking do this. “Guys pay attention to me! Find me!” I said. I can hear their footsteps clicking the concrete ground. But something is off. Brock is missing, and the it sounds like there is a horse race inside this black room. More feet than just Nancy and Laura. “OH MY GOD SOMEONE HELP ME!” Another scream let out “AAHHH LET GO OF ME!” “CHARLIE! CHARLIE HELP ME!” Beads of sweat are rolling down my face and back. My adrenaline is moving so fast it feels as if someone is sitting on my chest and I can't breath. The shoes stop, and the room fills with an empty dark silence. They are gone and I am all alone. “Hey! Nancy? Laura? Anyone?” What is going on. What is going on. My body is consumed with fear. Water begins to fill my eye as I sit down and wheap. Hugging my knees, I sit on the ground and rock. Fear of not knowing what is going to attack me, fear of not knowing what direction it is going to come from. [[Then sunndely]]

White florescent lights flood the room. I use my arm and shield my eyes from the beams. Squinting, partly because I am scared to see what might be standing in front of me and partly because I am waiting for my eyes to dilate. The room that was pitch black is now white. White walls surround me, the only door is the one that closed behind me and my friends. “Hello” I said through my chattering teeth. “Someone! Someone! I know you are there”. Nothing. Just the echo of my voice bouncing off the walls. This is it. I give up. I thought to myself. As I am sitting in the blank room the door starts moving. Shaking actually. Then finally, I couldn’t believe my eyes. [[Laura, is that you?]]

“Surprise bitch.” said Laura “Surprise bitch? Are you kidding? Is this some sick joke? I thought you were fucking dead!” “No, but you are about to be.” I looked he in the eyes, as she circled around me. She glared back, her eyes were dark and empty, alomst as if her soul has left her body. I used my hands and feet to move across the ground. Squimmering like a fish out of water. “What is wrong with you? What did I do, why are you doing this to me?” “You see…. Charlie baby. You fucked up. Remember a long time ago when we threw a party at my house and accidently killed Johnny? We gave him too many pills or something, but we told everybody he was sucide?" “Yeah, why are you talking about this? We said we would never mention this again." “Here is the deal, we can't trust you. And your time here is expired because we are not going to go to jail." She said. “We? Who is we?" I said. "Oh! Nancy! She is in on this too! We've been planning this for months now!" She said is playful voice. Almost like this was a game. "Nancy! She yelled in the empty white room." Nancy struts through the door. Her curly red hair bounced every step she took. She was carrying a butcher knife in her hand. Walking witf confidence like she has done this before. "Holy fuck!" I said as I begin to stand up. "Guys, come on lets talk. Somethings not right here." Without thinking I [[Push Laura down and run]] or [[Stand there]]

Without thinking, I pushed her with everything I had in my body. Laura fell to the ground with a crash and rolled over on her side. She let out a roar that sounded like a demoned took over her body. Nancy bolts at me in a full sprint, holding the agressively large butcher kinfe above her head. "Come on Charlie, it wont take but a second!" She said. I looked behind me to see where she was when all of a sudden I slam into a massive body than knockes me to my ass. I look up in despair. It's fucking Brock. "Are you kidding I said?! You're in on this too?!" "Shut up Charlie, you were nothing than a money bag and a place to stay when I got too drunk." Without hesitation, he forced himself on top of me and started whailing his fists at my face. Blood began to ooze from my nose and my vision became disorted. Doubles were walking toward me and I couldn't make out where they were standing. "Guys if you kill me it will only make the situation worse. Please. Please I am begging you." "Hold him down." Said Laura "No! No! Stop it!" I said, exerting the last amount of energy I had left at Brock. But it was nothing. He stood me up and grabbed my arms and put them behind my back. My head drooped toward the ground, then... I felt it. I felt my life be taken from my body. A excruciating pain flooded my chest. Nancy twisted the knife deeper and I let out a grunt. Another stab right next to the last hole pierced my heart. Blood ozzed out of my body all over the floor and [[Brock dropped me.]]

I stood there in despair. "Don't you take another fucking step" said Laura. "Okay, okay" and I raised my hands up showing my defense to them. Nancy is pointing the kinfe to my face. Her blue eyes were filed with hatred and anger towards me. "What do I do?" I thought to myslef. Think, think, think! I looked aroud the empty room, looking for any type of wepon. Nothing, my only option was Nancy. I swung my arm towards her and hit the kinfe out of her hand. She screamed and I swung my other fist at her face knocking her to the ground. Laura comes up from behind and wrapes her arm around my neck and takes me to the ground. Fighting for a breath to take, Nancy gets up and gets ontop of me holding the knife above her head. I swung my legs up and kicked the knife out of her hand and kicked her off. I rolled over and threw Laura's one-hundred pound body over my shoulder and she hit the ground. Hard. I could hear Nancy's footsteps charging at me from behind. I fell to the floor, graped Lauras body and put her in front of my body. A gasp spilled out of Laura's mouth. Blood started soaking her shirt. "LAURA" screamed Nancy. But it was too late, Laura just laid there limp. Without hesitation she pulled the knife out of her body and swung it at me, catching my left arm causing blood to oozed out everywhere.She swung again, but I caught her arm and we fell to the ground. She is using both arms to force the knife down over my chest but I was stronger. I grabbed her hands and pointed it her direction. "Fuck you Charlie" she let out as I forced the knife in her chest. She laid on top of me, [[eyes still open.]]

They all stood over me with their arms crossed. "Finish him off" said Laura. My vision is shot, all I herd the thump Nancy let out as she dropped to her knees beside me. She put her lips to my ear and said. "I'm sorry Charlie." And I felt the knife slice my throat. I felt the wet blood pour like a waterfall out of my neck. And it all went black.

I rolled her body off of mine and ran and sprinted for the door. I could see the sunrise off in the distance. The sky looked like a red and yellow paintig. Beautiful. Bliss. Safe. I ran for help and never looked back.

She jumped out of my arms and got behind me, grabbed my hand and told me not to let go. I can hear loud screaming from the next room. As we walked down the dark halway there was something banging on the wall from the other side. "Don't come in, don't come in!" It screamed. "We cant' go in there" said Laura. "Well how are we going to get out of this place then?" As we get closer to the next entrance I can see white strobe light flickering on and off. Mirrors cover this room completely. It is already bad enough I can barly see from the lights and now im seeing six of everyone. [[We walk into the room]]

We had to let go of eachother as we made out way through this room. The mirrord room turned into a maze. "Guys! I think I foud the exit!" I heard Nancy yell from a distance. "Thank God" I thought to myself. I ran my fingers against the walls trying to find her. "Come on Charlie" I could hear them saying from a distance. "I can't find y'all. I am seeing too many and I cant tell which one is real!" "Okay follow our voice!" "Guy's I think I'm trapped!" I can feel sweat beading up around my forehead. The room starts spinning and my chest feels so tight. Every breath is getting harder and harder to take in and I fell to my knees. When I came back to, my friends were missing. The room was strobing and the music was so loud I couldn't hear myself think. "Guys!" I said. And there was nothing. Not a soul, I just saw my reflection stairing back at me everywhere I looked. I started pushing on the walls, thinking maybe one of them was a door. I ran to the other side and pushed on those too. Nothing. I took my fist and shattered one of the pannels. I picked up a peice and threw it. It kept going, and going. [["A hallway! Fnally!"]]

I walk down it and finally come to an opening. Pushing through the door hoping to god that was the end of the haunted house. But it wasn't. I opened the door to my worst fear of all. Clowns left, clowns right. All laughing at me with their bloody faces. "Charlie, there is no way out." Said a clown with a bloody face. "Shut up! How do you know my name?!" I screamed. One grabbed me from behind, picked me up and threw me across the toom. Laying on my back, the one with a bloody face was running toward me. I stood up and ran away. I'm getting comsumed by these fucking clowns! "What the fuck! Someone help me" and then I saw a dark space. There! That has to me the tunnel. I jet towards the dark space [[only to get there and find.]]

Death stairing right back at my face. I have only seen this man in my dreams. A 6'1" tall black silhouette stopping me from entering. He was wearing a hocky mask and holding a chainsaw. He looked at me, turned it on, and the blades started spinning. "No! No! This isn't real! Wake up! Wake up Charlie!" I squeezed my helpless eyes so tight and stiffened my body as is I was about to get hit. Then I couldn't hear anything. I quickly opened my eyes [[only to realize]]

[[We walk into the room]] [[Lets find out]]

We had to let go of eachother as we made out way through this room. "Guys! I think I foud the exit!" I heard Nancy scream from a distance. "Thank God" I thought to myself. I run my fingers on the walls trying to find her. "Come on Charlie" I could hear them from a distance. "I can't find y'all. I am seeing too many and I cant tell which one is real!" "Okay follow our voice!" "Guy's I think I'm trapped!" I can feel sweat beading up around my forehead. The room starts spinning and my chest feels so tight.

A deep, dark voice comes over the speakers. "This is it Charlie, you are stuck here forever." "Hello! What! What!" I screamed "This is your own living hell. Once you walked through those doors, you entered a new world. One you can not escape."

The night sky is dark and the moon is full, I am smiling with joy becausse I haven't had this much fun in forever.
