I was having a sleepover with my friends. A normal sleepover, like every teenager usually has. It was all going perfectly. Games, movies, snacks… we were having lots of fun.
But then, Alex, suggested:
-Let’s play a game that I brought, it’s called Ouija Board.
-What is that game?- said Natalie.
-It’s a board with all of the letters, and the words “yes” or “no”. You also have a wooden triangle with a glass, where you put your finger. It supposedly is possessed by a demon. You need to make him questions and he answers by moving the triangle.
-Sounds fun, let’s play!- said everyone.
We started playing. The game already set, some of my friends got scared and said that they didn’t want to play, so it was down to me, Alex and Natalie. The three of us put our fingers in the triangle and asked:
-Is anybody there?
Nothing moved.We repeated the question.
-Is anybody there?
Still no answer. We repeated the question several times, changed the question but we didn’t get an answer.
-This isn’t working!- I said.
-Probably it isn’t real… – Alex replied.
Suddenly all the lights shut down and the objects in the room started shaking like crazy. We all got scared.
-What is happening?- we all said.
-I think we shouldn’t have played that game- said Natalie.
Everyone started running hoping to be able to escaped. Unfortunately, we realised that the doors were locked. We tried to call the police, but they didn’t believe us and hung up.
Suddenly we saw a shadow and everybody started screaming. We couldn’t move because we were too terryfied to react. He was getting closer and he started to kill everyone, one by one. I was so scared that I started to cry because the shadow was killing my friends.
And when he was walking to me I just closed my eyes and…
Suddenly I woke up and I saw all of my friends sleeping. And then I remembered, I had fallen asleep watching horror movies.
And now, every time they ask me to play that game I don’t let them play that game. I don’t want to see my friends being killed again.
