abandoned house

catastrophe night

By Martin RiosPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

It was a dark and stormy night in the town of Lombric, and five teenage friends gathered in the town square to talk about the abandoned house on the outskirts of town. The house was surrounded by myths and legends that had been descended from generation to generation.

The house had been owned by a family that suddenly moved out of town without a trace many years ago. People said that something evil had happened in the house and that the souls of the family never left the place. The young people decide that it would be a good idea to spend the night in the abandoned house and disprove the rumors.

The five friends armed themselves with flashlights, food and drink before heading home. Upon arrival, we found the house in ruins and completely abandoned. They entered the house and realized that the darkness was so thick that they could barely see their hands in front of them.

While exploring the house, strange noises were heard in the hallways and nearby rooms. The youngsters appeared to be scared, but they reassured themselves by making sure that everything was fine and that there was nothing to worry about.

However, things got worse when one of the young men realized that his cell phone was missing. The tension in the house increases when the young people came to blame each other for the robbery. Suddenly, a door was thrown open and a chill ran through the body of the young people.

The door led into a dark and dusty cellar that seemed to go on forever. One of the young men, named Max, there was that it would be a good idea to go down and see what was down there. The others refused, but Max insisted and went downstairs with his flashlight in hand.

As Max was exploring the basement, he found what appeared to be an old journal, and began to read it aloud. The diary talked about the family that had lived in the house and its dark secret. According to the diary, the family had practiced satanic rituals and had sacrificed animals and eventually their own daughter.

As Max continued to read the newspaper, noises and groans were heard coming from a nearby room. The other young people, worried about Max, decide to go down to find out what was happening. When they got to the basement, they found Max on the floor, unconscious and with a cut across his forehead.

Suddenly, the basement doors were slammed shut, and there was a sound of a key turning. The youths realized that they were trapped in the basement, and the only way out was through a locked door.

Tension and fear mounted as the youths tried to find a way out of the basement. Finally, I found a small window that led into an adjacent cellar. After struggling for a while, they managed to get out and run to the front door, which was also locked.

However, when they managed to open it, they found something much more chilling than the locked door. On the wall was written the name of each of the youths in blood, and some parts of their bodies were scattered around the room. The legend of the abandoned house had turned out to be true, and the young people paid the ultimate price for their curiosity.

From that day on, the abandoned house was closed and became a place where no one wanted to go near. The story of what had happened in the house became an even more terrifying legend, and the townspeople were left to leave things as they were.
