Mystery

By KimPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

Mortal Kombat was a game that all teenagers loved and worshipped. Russell and his friends decided to go to the arcade to play Mortal Kombat as teenagers they only care were games and more games they got to the arcade and Russell said to his friends “today we are going to win this game you're going to play it until you get to the next level” his friends agreed with him, and they laughed they couldn't wait they're paid their tokens and entered the arcade.

The boys played the game all day long until they retired and were hungry and they decided to go home.

Russell said “I think we had a nice time today let's have dinner and go home” the other boys agreed and they carried on.

On the way home after having noodles at a street restaurant they encountered three big boys one of the boys said “I saw you in the arcade, you boys were really making a lot of noise and that was annoying now give me your phones”

Russell and his friends refused and started tussling with the three boys in that tussle Russell fell on the street and hit his head and he became unconscious the three big boys ran away and Russell's friends started asking for help from passersby and the time help came for Russell it was too late he suffered a head injury and died.

10 years later Mortal Kombat is still one of the most classic games ever Richard and his friend decided to go and buy some game passes and he bought the Mortal Kombat game pass on the way back home they decided to stop at a street restaurant and they have noodles after they'd had their noodles the boys headed out the same street that Russell met his untimely end.

As they were walking and chatting away Richard felt someone tagging his shirt and he turned around to see who it was, but he couldn't see anyone. He asked his friends did you see anyone, and they said no it is only us.

“Funny’’ Richard said I felt someone pull my shirt, one of his friends replied it must be just the wind and Richard brushed it off and agreed yeah maybe it's just the wind.

While going down the street he felt again somebody pulling his shirt and then he said" you guys this is not funny stop pulling my shirt", his friend said we didn't do anything it's not us. Are you sure someone is pulling your shirt and Richard emphasized yes I'm sure.

Now the boys were worried they agreed let's hurry back home and when they got home Richard was not at ease something in him was just telling him what was that who was that.

The next morning he told his mother what had happened and his mother told him about Russell's story that happened 10 years ago at the same spot, Richard felt goosebumps all over his body could it be, could it be Russell he asked himself and sighed, he then asked his mother if the big boys were arrested that did this to Russell and his mother replied to him “Yes they were arrested but the poor boy was just too young to die.”

Later that day Richard took the game pass that he had bought yesterday for Mortal Kombat and he went to the same spot where he felt someone pull his shirt. When he got to the spot he said

“ I know you don't know who I am, my name is Richard my mum told me your name was Russell and you also liked Mortal Kombat well I've brought a game pass for you today, I will play the game for you today and I will win the game for you, I hope that will make you happy rest in peace Russell".

Richard dropped the game pass at the same spot and you walked away and that was the last time he ever had such an encounter in his life.
