The Vanishing House

Chapter 1

I heard of a house.

A house that was rumoured to be cursed.

People called it The Vanishing House.

Because every night, people vanish in that house.

A number of people have claimed to see these disappearances.

These disappearances happen frequently.

I feel like something is happening.

Recently, my brother disappeared one late night.

I feel that something is wrong.

Everyone in my town disappears.

At the same house.

Every single night.

Something must be going on.

I do not find any answers.

I am still searching for the truth.

My family has dissapeared.

I am alone.

I shudder at night.

I am always thinking that I could be the next to disappear.

I was watching TV.

I saw a news flash.

"Breaking news, multiple people have gone missing during the late night, this is still ongoing, over 50 people have disappeared so far, there is a house that people are calling The Vanishing House, and I think this will never end..."

I felt a chill.

I switched my TV off.

I was thinking about the house.

I did not what lurked inside.

I searched online.

But, to no avail.

I went from forum to forum, looking for answers.

I never found any.

I think that something is wrong.

Chapter 2

It was a dark night.

More and more people walked into that house.

And they were never seen again.

Something was in there.

I did not know what it was.

But, I continued to research.

I went online, and I looked for information.

But, no luck.

I kept on thinking to myself.

"Is there no hope?"

Something was out there.

I felt destined to find out.

I asked the local neighbors, and interviewed 3 of them.

I will not give out their names, so I will refer to each of them accordingly.

- Person A.

- Person B.

- Person C.

Here is what person Person A said.

"I don't know much information about this house, but, my daughter disappeared yesterday night, and I think she is still in there."

Here is what person Person B had to say.

"Well, I have a few theories, 1, there has been a murder, 2, multiple people are being kidnapped, 3, they are being killed."

Here is what Person C said.

"Yeah, I know a bit about it, I know it's cursed, and I know that people has disappeared."

I had some good ideas in my head.

But, something was in that house.

Chapter 3

Someone is behind this.

I can feel it.

Deep within my bones.

I am almost close to solving this case.

I just had to explore.

But, I was too nervous.

I knew that it would be a dangerous journey.

I thought that my life would end.

I think that I am forced to do this.

For the fate of the world.

Under the shining moon.

As it reflects onto the pavement below my feet.

I sweat.

I know I am not ready.

But, I can do this.

I can prove myself.

Was it a dream?

I keep telling myself.

But, I do not think so.

I feel alone.

I walked up to the house.

I opened the door.

Chapter 4

It looked dirty.

The pipes were leaking.

The stench was horrible.

I heard something.

It sounded like screaming.

I investigated.

I saw a door.

It led down to a dingy basement.

I saw a puddle of blood beneath me.

The front door slammed shut.

It was locked.

I had to investigate.

For the fate of my town.

To finally prove myself.

And get the respect I deserve.

I started to walk.

Watching my feet.

Making sure I was careful.

I slightly opened the door.

I saw the stairwell, leading to the basement.

I slowly started to walk down the stairs.

Hoping I have not made a huge mistake.

It felt like it went on forever.

I eventually got there.

The door above slammed.

And it to, was locked.

I heard more screams, this time, they were more clear.

They sounded painful.

I slowly opened the door.

I grabbed my flashlight out of my pocket.

I started to walk towards some bodies.

I could not believe it.

It was my own family.

I almost died of shock.

My face turned white.

My hands began to shake.

I saw someone.

It was a man, wearing a black mask.

He was wearing dirty clothes, and he had short hair.

He slowly walked towards me.

"Well, well, well, who do we have here?" He said, in a deep voice.

"My name is not important, I am a paranormal investigater." I said.

"You will soon die, just like the rest of these people." He said, laughing.

"What have you done to my family?" I sobbed.

"They are dead, because I stabbed them." He said, proudly.

"You monster!" I shouted.

"You shall not escape, mortal." He said.

He started to peel off his mask.

Beneath the mask was a horrible sight.

It was two beady eyes, mixed with blood and puss, and a mouth sewn into a smile.

I screamed.

I ran away in fear.

Going out through the window.

I backed away slowly.

I never went in the house again.

Chapter 5

Now, I am alone.

Everyone is dead but me.

Who was that person?

Why is he killing all these people?

What is the point?

I may never know.

It might be a dream.

Luck or faith?

A ruse?

No.

It is too soon.

My town is ruined.

It is all because of, that thing.

I cannot sleep.

I cannot do anything.

I could not save them.

It is only a matter of time.

Legends say that the bodies can still be found deep within the house.

I am alone.

Could there be a saving grace?

No.

I saw things.

I wish I could unsee them.

They clog my memory.

No thoughts.

Just the pain.

The house shall vanish.

But, they say it is still there.

Waiting for you.
