Jim told her not to go back but she couldn’t
resist. This house was perfect. It was everything she had been looking for at
such a reasonable asking price. And now,
Jim had to get all spooky on her. Why
should she listen to him anyway? He believed
in supernatural powers and such. She didn’t
mind as long as he didn’t expect her to believe in those things, too. They had agreed to disagree on the subject. Now as she walked up the front steps she felt
her skin prickle. You’re just being
foolish she told herself. She opened the
door to an eerie silence. Stop it she
chided. She walked around the living
room and into the formal dining room imagining where she would put her
furniture and knick knacks. As she
wandered through the house she about the fear until she switched on the
basement light. It flickered for a
moment before coming on. She laughed at
herself again as she made her way downstairs.
Something caught her eye and she turned to face a blank white wall. She looked around but couldn’t see anything
that would have moved. She looked back
to the white wall and stared. She
blinked and thought she saw something.
That was weird she told herself as she took a few steps closer. She stared harder trying not to blink but eventually
did and again there was a flash of something.
She moved in even closer and focused on the center of the wall. She stared for several moments and then she
saw it. She blinked and it was still
there. Her eyes widened, sweat trickled
down her back, her hands began to tremble, the hair on her neck stood up, her
breath froze. There was a face staring
at her from within the wall. Her heart
thundered then the lights flickered and died.
