The Mansion
K. Reiter
No one would believe me. I was almost positive, but I couldn’t keep it a secret any longer. I had to get it off my chest. So, I decided to tell Roger, my best friend.
It was a Saturday night, and Roger was staying the night at my house. We played video games, watched a movie, and now it was time to tell him my secret.
“Hey, man,” I started. “I must tell you something, but you can’t tell anyone.”
“Sounds interesting,” he replied and sat up straight.
“You know the old mansion up on Baker Hill?” I asked.
“The creepy one?” Roger questioned. Roger shook at the thought of the abandoned house that no one ever really talked about. There were many rumors about the old man who used to live there and what really happened to him.
“Well, the other day, I was out for a stroll. I wandered up the hill to the old mansion and thought I would peek inside,” I started. I could feel my eyes widen the more I told about my adventure.
“You’re crazy,” Roger said but wanted to hear more.
“I swear I heard a voice, so I stepped back. Then I saw a man’s face appear in the window. Dude, I turned and ran away as fast as I could,” I said to Roger. If felt good to finally let someone else in on my secret.
We both sat in silence for a bit, and then Roger suggested we go back to the mansion. He wanted to see it for himself. The sun had just set, and the sky was dark. We packed a few things and set off toward the mansion. When went near the ancient house, I swear the wind picked up, and it got colder.
“I don’t know about this,” I stuttered.
“Come on. I have to know the truth,” Roger argued. We tip-toed the big front door.
“What was that?” Roger asked and stopped dead in his tracks. Suddenly, a blurry outline of a face appeared in the cracked window.
“Who goes there?” the blurry figure asked.
Roger and I turned and sprinted all the way back to my house. Neither of us said anything for a long time after that. We did not return to the mansion, nor did we tell anyone about our discovery.
