Heidi ParkI was traveling down high way double b cruising with theWindows down it was pretty nice out spring time. Just a littleDusting of snow on the ground it was starting to get dark myGas light started to go off .I have no clue where I’m at beenDriving around and took a way wrong turn my car startedPuttering then just pulled off the interstate out of the way.Wondering what to do I have no charge on my cell phone???Why me I have the worst luck always well I started walking allDark gloomy scary and cloudy out I’m very scared of theDark I saw a hawk fly by in the middle of the night kind ofCreepy it was a cool misty breeze still had to dress warm

Because it still got cold out I had a warm heavy jacket on andHat mittens and boots I’m walking really fast hoping to findSomeone to help left my car on Melody Avenue. Cars keepGoing by but nobody stops as I’m hitch hiking breaking theLaw hoping to get help that I need kind of ironic how youNeed help seems like no cops around, probably eatingDonuts or something sitting and talking about nothingWatching for speeders hoping to pull someone over When you need a ride or something they areNo help don’t offer you anything I came across one cop andHe said maim sorry but there’s nothing that I can do for you IHave I had high heels on and broke my heel one my shoe andAnd just wanted to get gas and beOn my way I can give you a number to dispatch and maybeThey can send someone out he gave me a number I explainedTo him that my phone didn’t work sorry maim that’s all I can

Do for you good luck and off he goes blowing his sirens andSeeing red and blue lights there had been a car wreck when IHad to slow down and pull off to the side of the road. I hopeThe poor people will be okay. I lugged my big old purse itComes in handy I carry everything in there you never knowWhen you’re going to need things I moved along on myMarry way my cell phone started to ring oh sweet Jesus yesFinally there is a good out there somewhere I had answeredThe phone and they said is Travis there I said excuse me youHave the wrong number sir and he kept calling back it wasAnnoying telemarketer I don’t have time for non-sense ILooked at my battery I tried to make a phone call I had noReception Then I worked off into the side of the road hopingTo make a phone call and it rang I started to talk and thereWas dead silence lost reception? No luck on getting it back of

Course and I guess my phone is now dead I wish there was aPay phone out in the middle of nowhere I’m not even sure if IHave any change anyway.When you are doing something wrong go figure a guy in aTaxi came and approached me i was kind of weary seeingHow in the hell a taxi in the middle of now where he wasPretty good looking guy I’m like okay maybe he’s not some one that would chop me up and cut me into a millionPieces and put my body in a box ten feet under he’s mediumBuilt blond sandy hair and the most prettiest blue eyes thatYou’d ever seen you know like the bluest skies’ in Texas IWas in love and awe hoping maybe he'd be single or at leastHelp me find a place to stay for a night or a couple of daysHis name was Marvin Franze he’s twenty seven years old andJust got this job on the side was headed to a town calledBlack water he said there’s an old abandoned house that

Some new owners took over and are going to be opening upA boarding place said that would be great then he asked forMy name and I said my name is Karen Park forty years old IGot turned around and missed my turn somehow I wasJamming to music and a great song game on the radio I don’tKnow the name of it goes cruising got my windows down orSomething like that guess just lost my track of time and direction He said there were also a little diner and a niceOld lady that sweet heart he sounded pretty reassuring as heAsked for my number and he gave me his he said look him upSometime for a nice cup of coffee oh yea play it of like heWasn’t asking me out or what? Hoping for I was with anOlder gentleman before so thought I’d try something differentSomeone younger and maybe we'd have a lot more things inCommon the name of the place was some weird name on it

The letters of the sign had been burnt out so I couldn'tPronunciation it Marvin said what it was but couldn'tRemember. I asked Marvin if he'd had an extra charger for aCell phone he had the exact same kind that was compatibleWith mine that was sweet of him I asked him if he wantedSome money for it he said no that’s okay he has extras. WeHad pulled up to the place with the burnt out sign he kind ofGot spooked thought it was odd after all he recommendedThe place, but who knows it’s the only option I have left until IGet any kind of help.Marvin had said he'd help me but had some work to get done and then he'd be back that I couldStay at this abdomen boarding house which I’m not sure why he said it was abdomen the newOwners where taking it over? But anyway Marvin said he'd be back to get me sometime in theMorning i had to call my mom and dad so they could send me money somehow or send help toGet me some gas I still was lost and I had no idea where i was wish I had help when you haveNo reception. Well any way Marvin said see yea later have a good night as I watched him backOut of the long narrowly drive way out in the middle of nowhere it seemed like it took a while toGet to the hotel so I wasn’t really sure where I was so incredibly dark out only a few lights on

In the hotel it really didn't look like anyone was in there so I’m said that's great I walked in theDoor didn't hardly open I rang the doorbell which it didn’t work the door mysteriously opened forMe I walked in hesitantly decided to go in it was definitely run down building a smell of mold andDusty cob webs doesn't look like it's been cleaned there was a counter with a bell i rang the bellAnd cute beagle dog came up to me he was friendly. He jumped all over me gave me kisses heWas an old dog could barely jump poor guy. I'm like I wonder if he could cuddle with me andProtect me as I laughed out loud to myself which I knew that wouldn't be realistic but it would beNice I was looking around looked like I wasn’t invited? A fat old lady comes around the cornerWith a riffle she yelled in a loud voice what the hell you doing here who are you? You’re notWelcome here oh man well I had mentioned Marvin’s name she said oh okay well I didn't knowWe just bought this place.

As we got closer to the kitchen you heard different music it wasCountry the new age country that they play on the radio today I thought that’s weird they didn’tSeem like they really have an interest in music I got down stairs was in the kitchen we wereGoing to have baked chicken corn, mashed potatoes and stuffing sounded good to meEverybody is getting super ready while the guys were out working. You can hearThe crickets chirping loudly and making beautiful music they sure are ugly bugs you wouldn’tThink that the beautiful chirping they would be ugly the windows were opened and you go feelThe fresh breeze flow through the windows I live in New York and don’t get a chance to stop and

Stand back and watch the stars in the sky the joys of city life fast paced maybe I should considerLiving out in the contrite chicken smelled so good potatoes boiling on the stove I gotThe plates silver wear and glasses and prepared them on the table I grabbed napkins and putThem in the napkin holder it seemed like there was a lot more people than just the people thatWere in the house when I was down stairs maybe some other people came that I didn’t knowAbout after all I was upstairs. I prepared to make lemonade had to make it the old fashionedWay and squeeze the lemons. All the guys started to venture in they were washing their handsAnd getting ready to go upstairs to change their clothes we all sat at the kitchen table that wasWeird for me I’m always eating out because it’s only just me so it was kind of nice sitting at theTable for some quality time there was some new faces that I’ve never seen before they wereweird looking characters like hillbillies two guys that Marvin had dropped off oh that was nice toFind out I wonder why he didn’t come in to say hello to me maybe he had to find these guys aPlace to stay or it was an emergency type thing it could be there names were Jim bob Joe bob.Marvin found them living underneath a bridge with no place to go it’s nice that those guys helpPeople out the guys sure stunk to high heaven man I had to sit right next to them they would goFrom place to place where ever they could find to sleep but they could only stay at those placesFor a little while they had not showered in a long time forever. The one’s mans’ name is Joe bobAnd the other one is Jim bob they are twins they only have one good tooth and they are baldAnd fat their tooth that they have is gold I wonder how they can afford a gold tooth? They have aPatch on their eye it must be a birth defect they seem like nice gentlemen they had lost theirHome in hurricane Katrina and wondered over this way found a bridge to live under they lost

Everything hey had lived in an apartment complex and worked at a hardware store earnedMinimum wage kind of hard to live on that it’s only seven and a quarter. This type of place wouldBe perfect don’t have to worry about cash just work around here to live for the time beingAnyway food smelled delicious lemon chicken it smelled better then it tasted it didn’t taste veryGood at all I just pretended to eat it I didn’t want to be rude she burned the chicken and theGravy was nasty. Everybody was saying grace that’s something I don’t do on an everyday basisI thought that was kind of neat to do once on an occasion. The potatoes were good and theVeggies were good we finished off with a lemon tart pie with chocolate ice crème everybody wasPretty quiet we were all eating I didn’t eat the chicken laugh my ass of means lol in the realWorld that’s all everybody does right now they text abbreviation’s and they have face book isAnother popular networking site everybody has I phone I pad laptop computer etc here in thisCentury they never even heard of those things kind of nice to get away from all of that I hadAsked Marvin’s mother if she had a cell phone because mine had no service way out here in noMan’s land. She’s said what is a cell phone? I said it’s a telephone but it’s a portable little deviceThat you can take with you she said isn’t that the neatest thing? Her husband was like that’s aBunch of none sense we don’t believe in things like that. jerk how can you live No phone? What happens in case of an emergency? We have always got by without usLive the old fashioned way that’s the way my husband has his ways set. Was wondering if youHave a phone that I can get to? They said yes but no one is a loud to use it. I thought that wasKind of rude I thought Marvin gave you one of those charger contraptions? Yes he did but itDoesn’t work How odd I guess when everybody’s sleeping I guess I will have to sneak down

Here to use it at night. I don’t understand what the big deal is but okay I guess well I just movedOn from that .Myrtle and I gathered up the dirty dishes and cleaned off the tableWent in and washed the dishes I asked her things about Marvin she said oh he’s quit the catch IThought that’s odd and that’s her brother what the heck? She said he really wasn’t really herBrother they were just close friends they grew up together and she looked up to him like he was Still kind of weird I thought hope there isn’t any romantic feelings their I’m starting To have this freaky feeling something’s way off here but I’m not going to let me fear startShowing I have to kind of hit it well maybe it’s not that bad and I’m just being a nervous Nelly lol.I’m so used to do that this place is really big Myrtle yes she said it is hundred years old a lot ofHistory here in this place some time you should come to New York and check things out you’llReally like it we have big screen TV’s and lots of shopping malls she said oh really I would loveTo check it out some time My mom and dad never let me leave or go anywhere so I’m trappedHer at this place I have no live no friends they don’t let me talk with anybody i never had aBoyfriend if I show any interest in anybody they send them on their way or I never see themMarvin just picks them up as far as I know that’s what my mom tells me anyway my mom’s aReal sweet heart she has her days though. My dad he’s a hard one to get to know he’s set on hisOld ways and doesn’t believe in change or anything like that. So he’s an old foxy buddy that’sOkay to have set ways otherwise you grow up in to today’s world and that’s all you know kidsToday they all have cell phones and play x-box and play station all day every day they are lazyThey don’t get outside today and work for a living like you guys all do. I think it’s great that thereAre still people out there that like to live without those things? Myrtle never heard of have of the

Things that I kept mentioning I asked her what do you guys do as a family or entertainment sheSaid well we kind of do our own things and just keep busy don’t have time to get bored I’m aCounty girl I love it out in the country it’s all quiet and the pace in life is just right the city lifeReally isn’t really for me. Each to their own I guess I’m going to buddy up with her maybe she’dLet me use the phone I don’t want to get her in trouble. We have my dad he plays the violin andWe sing and dance is our entertainment and we play cards but not often we do on specialOccasions if we have guest here but we are not even opened up yet so really you and Jim BobAnd Joe Bob is our first guest here. We just bought this place we lived in a town called MaryDean we moved to black water. It’s not even located on the map and towns way out of the waySo when Marvin is around he is a great help he brings us to the Amish store that’s where we doMost of our shopping they have good brands and good items we are going to by a bunch of theirFurniture and use it in our rooms it’s just going to be modern here nothing spectacular just anEveryday use had problems where we lived before with our neighbor we just moved it’s tooBad when you have to live around an arrogant person no respect for people and make itMiserable to live by go move to Mexico or something I couldn’t stand my neighbor. Here in theCountry its more piece full don’t have to deal with anyone Myrtle went on her way to doingWhatever it was that she has to do I am going to venture outside and sit in the fresh air andSwing on the swing that’s out on the front porch it’s nice to be out here quiet and the stars in theSky so peaceful.The cool crisp air felt good through my hair and my face can actually breatheOut here fresh air and it’s not polluted like it is in the city where you can’t breathe out at all. TheStars are so bright and so clear and so many little stars I wonder what it would be like to live on

Planets like that it seems peaceful and breath taking I have a daughter but this weekend she’sWith her dad well at least it’s a good thing I ran out of gas and I’m at this strange place. ThisPlace is so weird so I ventured outside more I went and they had a barn and a bunch of cages IWonder what they plan on doing here with all these cages? They have some pretty horses I loveHorses wish I had my own someday maybe sometime I wonder if they train the? They have a lotOf work horses here I think work horses’ are so cool so strong. They have a huge tent I wonderWhat they plan on setting up I see that they have all kinds of campers back here but there’sNobody in there and tents the tents aren’t set up yet. It looks like all the lights are shutting offOutside so I better get heading in I’m afraid of the dark. I have my flashlight and whistle in case IGet lost. I go in and everything is just pitch black dark all i see is nothing but dust and cob websSo creepy but during the day is fine this mansion is Hugh. I haven’t ventured my way around thisPlace really I just keep thinking on how I’m going to get to a phone I’m tired I’m going to try toFind my way to the kitchen so I can sneak on that phone. I can’t find the dang phone I’m lookingFrantically around this corner around that corner on this edge and that edge I can’t find it I’mThinking what the hell? I heard something squeaking oh my god I know what that sound is oh mygod it’s a bat I hate bats oh my god just around the corner I saw a rat and a mouse” om”gStands for oh my god nothing but fear here I just feel like I’m in a bad dream I just want to goHome to my daughter and be in my own home and go back to my piece of crap car and life justBe normal again. I heard Joe oh boy I was so happy I love dogs are so great and they makeI feel safe so I called his name I’m like come here Joe come here Joe!!!!! He’s so cute he wasWagging his tail and jumping up on me I wonder why Joe didn’t like Marvin’s dad kind of weird

They are best friends I wonder what he did to make him mean? He seems kind of mean and has Weird sense of humor he hardly smiles on an occasion I guess he does. I’m going toSee if Joe will lead me around here I’m going to follow him and see where he goes. I so want toFind the phone I’m lost I hate being lost I keep hearing creek creak creek the floor boards are soBad…. They feel disgusting and so dirty just smell so old and moldy. My allergies are so bad IKeep sneezing and having hard time breathing I have no idea where I’m at? It just looks theSame oh my god I’m just getting irritated I’m tired and irritated some more and more. ? Hello,Hello, I keep saying anybody their? It just seems like something or someone is watching me IFeel like the hairs on my neck are standing up and my hair on my arms I have shivers going upAnd down my spine you know that sick feeling that sick feeling that you get when you feelInside your gut when something feels so wrong why did I have to run out of gas and get lost?Stupid me I just want to be back home I don’t want to live like this why didn’t Marvin just bringMe to a gas station and borrow me money or something? Why didn’t I get gas what’s up with?Marvin anyway why was he so mysterious? Why didn’t he tell me that was his family’s place?Was it at trap to get me here oh man I just don’t feel right about this the more I think about thisPlace I sure wish I had some jack Daniel’s or whiskey I usually don’t drink hard alcohol but if IFind some I’m drinking it “lol” laugh out loud again in my head is going and spinning and athousand thoughts going a million miles an hour sort of thing I just don’t know what to do?Should I blow my whistle? And wake everybody and demand that I use the phone? Do I try tofind my way out and look for help to get home? What would you do if you were in this situation, Iguess I’ve decided to stay and check things out here maybe someone decent will come along.

Well back to the drawing board I found a leash Joe brought it to me as I thought what a smartdog so I’m like okay well I put it on him I just love this dog. Maybe I will take him with me when Ileave I can’t have pets he probably loves his owners. But he just a cool dog I don’t understandwhat they met when they said he ripped Steve’s arm off? But yet Joe follows him aroundeverywhere. So I don’t get it he seems to like me that’s all that matters, well anyway I put thedog leash on Joe. He lead me a round for a while so many different rooms it just goes on andone and never stops and never ends ever. One room we passed we had found a passageWay Joe jumped up on the door and the door flipped over to the other side what was on theOther side I will tell you it was a room with lots of lots of mirrors and candles and flowers IThought that’s a weird and odd room? Kind of neat a big huge bed and a huge mirror on the wallThe bed is a water bed there was something wrote on the wall it said I have sinned a thousandTimes in this place is a thousand rooms with a thousand souls I saw bodies in the mirrors theyHave slashes on their backs and on their fronts of their bodies. I just screamed, and screamed,And carried on what in the hell happened to just a little strange to a lot strange oh my then JoeTook me to another room it was a jail cell and people were chained up on chains and crying outHelp me help me get out you are not welcome here leave and they have fingers pointing to anOpen passage way or exists. The screeching never stops the ringing in my ear I need to get helpFor these poor souls I just don’t know it’s either helped them or help myself. I will get out and helpMyself and then I help them I have a daughter to get back to hopefully she’s safe and sound I’mSure she will be I miss her and hate being stuck here man this night seems like its takingForever it’s just a night mare I keep thinking to myself oh how I wish I found this one room it

Seems normal so I just wanted to rest up I was so tired and wanted to get some piece of mindAnd sanity the room smelt so marvelous and so delightful I felt like I wasn’t afraid I ran someBath water and decided to take a nice bubble bath. It was so relaxing and refreshing, I felt soComforting knowing that Joe been by my side and I had no worry’s for a while maybe I’mDreaming this or imagining this can’t be real no way possible? It’s just like being in a badMovie or something I’ve never pictured myself being in a horror movie like this ever. Who would?Of thought I wonder what my daughter is doing. Jenna is so cute I miss her so much she’d beScared if she was here with me she’d like Joe though I love this dog. I swear I’m never going toWatch another scary movie ever again let alone be in one. I grabbed a fresh linen towel out ofThe closet and I found a bath robe in the closet with some other clothes I got out of the bath tubThe floor was so nice it had really nice soft carpet how odd why wouldn’t the rest of the place beNice and only some of the place just don’t get it and those poor people I just need toRejuvenate and get my thoughts together and stay calm I don’t know how Joe brought me downHere I wonder what upstairs is like. I saw some of the back yard I just wonder what these freaksWere planning on doing here and with me I’ll be damned their not touching me with a ten footPole if that’s what they have in mind. I think I’m going to try to lay down I’m so tired I need to restI’m so thirsty I need to drink some water. I should be Okay Joe will let me know if someone isHere. Come here Joe lay down by me good boy such a good dog he’s so cute he’s brown andWhite he’s a smaller dog but his bark is loud and he’s a good watch dog to barks at every littleThing he hears. I woke up I slept about a half an hour or so just enough to be refreshed I sleptWonderfully I didn’t sleep long this room was luxurious I didn’t want to leave but I had no choice I

Had to find a way to get back to my car to get back home to my life and my family I feel like I amIn a soul asylum a place for crazy people I’d like to find my way back upstairs so I can talk toMyrtle and maybe Marvin would show back up by now, I’m so hoping so he’s so hot I don’t seeHow he can be related to those freaks maybe he’s adopted or something I just think it’s odd thatHe didn’t mention anything to me about his family owning this place.I’m going to try to put thisPlace down here out of my mind for the time being and focus on finding my way back only if JoeWill lead me back we found another room it was a girls room with lots of music boxes andPorcelain dolls and stuffed animals toys and some pictures of a girl she’s cute she seems to beAbout seven years old or so she has blond hair with pig tails. Children’s drawings and art workThe room wasn’t as nice as the one I was in its weird some rooms are nice and some aren’t IThought I heard a little girls’ voice saying help me help me!!!!! I’m astonished I said hello, helloAnd hello is anybody there? I heard sad sobs again I looked to the corner of my eye and I seeThe door close and the floor creaking, lights flickering on and off brr its cold in here I can see myBreathe, I can’t find the little girl she must not be here maybe a figment of my imagination thisMust be a guest room for children that’s sad to think children would be homeless. Come onJoe we must keep going I just didn’t understand what the pictures of the little girl and theChildren’s art work was all about was it the little girls room the one in the picture? I hadn’t seenHer hopefully she’s okay. Come on Joe we have to get going seems like its staying darkForever the lights flickering and flickering again and again these people need to fix theirElectricity it’s an old place. I see a fire place come on Joe let’s sit by the fire so we can warmUp I’m cold I can see my breath I wonder why it’s so cold down here? Flames are burning pretty

Good snap crackle pop the sounds of a warming fire we found some coals so we decided to putMore on the fire and sat and watched while it burned now all we need are some marsh mallowsAnd some sticks roasting on an open flame. We hurried along the way we found another roomFull of treasures and gold I kept eye balling the gold and jewelry I put some on it was so shinyAnd beautiful the rings I put on my fingers a lot of the stuff I put in my pockets imagined all theThings I could buy and all the fun I could have with all of the different kinds of treasured chestJewels over flowing to the top and out past the sides the diamonds were so enchanting andBeautiful shined so bright and the emeralds were beautiful green like the green grass there wasa chest full of money and gold coins. I grabbed some of the money my hands were gettingHeavy with all the rings on all my fingers we had found a revolving door that was kind of coolGoing round and round Joe couldn’t figure out the concept on how to do it so? I had to have himFollow me here we go Joe hopefully we won’t end back to where we were oh thank god thisPlace where we were at is starting to look familiar I see a bright light it looks like it’s finally dayWhat’s that follow smell? I see an orange glow oh it was a lamp here I thought it was day outThe door that we went in had a heavy latch it was a wooden door whips of chilling fog pouredInto this room I’m not even sure what kind of room it was this room was a meat locker it wasMuch larger than I expected, made of sawn timber with bins and shelves holding huge axHammer leaning against the far corner the kind with one blunt end for knocking out cows andOne sharp end for cutting their heads off. A blood stained workbench featured an assortment ofButcher knives and meat cleavers meat hooks dangled from the ceiling wish we would of notWent into this room as my stomach hurdled from the thought of me eating this earlier as I look

Onto the meat I see little white things on it oh my god remind me not to eat meat again the doorJoe jumped up and was able to push it opened thank god the heck out of this room creepy butBefore any thought arose in my mind I saw a shadow in the hallway running deepening into aShadow of the wall oh my god I just saw a ghost I’m really losing my marble’s a flash ofLightning painted streaks on the floors and walls disusing corners distorting from where theShadow went I halted in the blackness of the room so afraid Joe kept on barking, and barkingGood boy maybe somebody will here you and they will come and find us there was no light toShown me the patch of the surface I moved along the wall groping for a piece of furniture, anyObject might recognize as far as I might reach I felt nothing. Fear began turning my guts, andMaking me tremble I felt faint I stopped breathing and listened nothing no sound no light I wasSo lost i stood on top of the brick stairwell that led into the basement, I had my armsCrossed waiting and waiting, so much of my life was waiting and wanting to leave from thisMiserable place I lifted my face to the sound of pouring rain and focused on the sound ofLightening flashing this storm was the kind that brought flash floods. Which boasted enough?Drama and delight to bring a smile to the blackest of soul I unfolded my arms and walked to theEdge of the stairwell the sounds of an ax hammer slamming into a door resounded with eachBlow I guessed correctly they must be up above me I said hello, anyone there hello? I started toBlow my whistle and of course nobody heard me or did they want to? I just get this weird feelingThat they don’t want me to be found at least that’s what I assumed anyway. White descendedLeaves packed leaves and dirt covered the concrete, raising the landing several inches theDecaying leaves tended to spill into the basement. What’s this and where’s this leading to there

Must be an opening to get out Joe we must of took the wrong way your owners are probablyLooking for you He methodic thumping of an ax inside morphed into a muffled sound ofSplintering wood loud crash pounding feet whatever this place is it wasn’t inhabited byOrdinary proprietor’s filled with good-will towards weary traveler’s Joe and I smelt somethingHorrible Joe snarled and kept snarling I didn’t like the sound of what was to come of our nextDestination where it would lead us to? That god awful smells like rotten tomatoes or eggs orSomething please makes the smell go away. I remembered where I had smelt that similar smellBefore it was upstairs the twins smelt like that. Maybe we are getting closer to finding someoneI’m so hoping they probably wouldn’t believe me anyway. There was a one low-wattage bulbHung from the ceiling water trickled down I could hear the faintly drops splashing on the groundIn a couple of mud puddles I tugged on the string with the light bulb hung low lighting a bulbAttached to the beams above this looks very familiar like when I had first arrived. It has threeSofas with old rips and dust on them lots of throw pillows, lots of paintings and throw rugs almostHomey look sort of way there were end tables with newspapers on them old books that lookAntique. What’s this over here in that corner I can’t quite make out what it is the fire in myLantern just went out of course that’s just my luck I start gradually finding clues and gettingSomewhere and my lantern go out. What dumb luck I have I miraculously find some sticks soI frantically rubbed them together so I would make friction to start a fire just long enough to findSome matches or somehow light my lantern I was more determined to now more than ever. JoeStarted growling again and barking poor guy he must be getting hungry I need to find him someKind of food or something I’m getting quite hungry to I’m lurking around the room and found

Some cans of food it looked like we were in some kind of food pantry. Finally luck was starting toTurn around on my side just once. Now to try to find something to open one of the cans of foodOf course no luck I come across some jars of food I examine the jars have no idea what’s inThere is a label on some of them the lady canned their seemed to be gardens from what IRemember but it was dark out so maybe someone said that there were gardens if I rememberThat’s what Marvin’s mom said her name is Mary

I like that name is kind of cool name. I have noIdea what today is or how long it has been. People are probably out looking for me by now myDaughter has to go back to school. I wonder why Joe was growling it seemed like he wasn’t

Happy with me maybe he was getting hungry while I examine the jars of food I found someRaspberry jam I broke open a couple jars of food and Joe and I ate them all we were now full.And needed to get cleaned up I found a small kitchen in the area where we were gathered upSome rags and washed up Joe and I had found duffel bad put some food in the bag. Now toMosey on I navigated towards what looked like a phone booth I was looking around for someKind of change of course I couldn’t come across any kind of change I searched high I searchedLow I saw something shiny I was digging in my purse I shook my purse to find whatever change ICould find dollar bills Sweet I love finding extra money that you didn’t know that you had foundIt’s kind of like your tipping yourself extra. I went to open the door and no luck I took a jar of foodAnd threw it against the phone booth shattering all the glass smash, smash and bang JoeLooked so hungry maybe I should find him something to eat I thought to myself hopefully heDoesn’t rip my arm off We found a can of beef stew Joe had started gnawing he was so hungryI was about to take something to eat and I had seen maggots I screamed frantically that itScared poor Joe he put his tail between his legs. I found my way into the phone booth picked upThe phone yes I heard a dial tone know I thought about who I should call…. I decided to callMarvin maybe he came back home and he could come and find me and take me back home. Dialed his number that he gave me seven five one five three zero- and so on almost sounds likeWisconsin area code but it’s switched around. I heard a voice hello, hello it sounded likeMarvin oh yes it was I was so happy hello Marvin this is Karen I’m with your dog Joe. I’m lost inThis place can you come and get me he started to say something and then his mom hadAnswered the phone I thought that was his direct number. His mom said hello that’s this is thisKaren where are you we are looking for Joe I don’t know where I’m at maim what business do

Please no, this can’t be Marvin that creep I knew I should off listened to myGut I just threw the phone I can’t believe Marvin would do this. I was running and stumblingThose poor souls that’s what they were doing pointing to get out and they were warning me theyNeed to get out to I need to go back and rescue them Maybe I can I can talk Myrtle into leavingAnd coming with me she seemed sane not like the rest of them that’s what I gathered andObserved I had found some more change and I dialed a random number hoping to reachAuthorities there was a dial tone hello this is sheriff Phillips how may I help you hello, hello, isAnybody there yes sheriff Phillips my name is Karen Park please help us who’s us there areOthers yes do you know where you are I have no idea some creep brought me here andTricked me have been more aware and thought of stranger danger it’s sad when adultsGet lured into a trap and get deceived.

We departed from our phone conversation and gatheredEverything I could I need to come up with a plan Thumping and rambling noises were soExcruciating to my ears I’m so extremely frantically afraid. I’m crying hysterically faintly I cameAcross this room it had daggers and swords, crossbows ruffle’s oh sweet Jesus thank youGod!!! Now I need to find ammunition of course there was none just my luck. Well these swords

And daggers are going to i found some spears I will use these as well. I never thought of killingAny nobody in my life I hurriedly horrified frantically departure I found some more sticks I cameUp with a plan I thought about burning the place to the ground if I had to have to get closeEnough to find a passage way to escape I wanted to rescue the other souls that were here whoKnows how long they’ve been here oh my god they need help I found the room and the jail cellsThey were reaching out to me help me they didn’t even look like human beings anymore if that’sWhat they were. I had found the little girl she’s a ghost she spoke to me and showed me the realPicture on what these people had done. It is so heart breaking they lured children in with theirDog Joe wasn’t so nice. They had I had to euphonized Joe then I was showed a body of a youngChild lying in the room covered with a rug and dug tape covered around the body. I knew it hadTo been a child it was small I had retrieve a shot gun found some ammunition and aimed andFired as I blew Joe away blood and guts blown all of the place the smell was so disgusting. BackTo square one now no wonder why Joe was leading me around what a sucker I was even theDog was in on it. A tenderloin of smoke drifted from the corner a dark fog black smoke I took aStep forward there was something evil in that fog but was numb I believe one of those freaksHad fired a shot of smoke drifted pass my eyes and through the thin thick air I’m losing my mindI’m surprised I didn’t even hear anything of a shot gun. I hear a whisper it was Myrtle KarenCome with me I can help you get out it’s not worth being a hero and saving my life and theOthers that are here she lead me through some passageways and we were getting closer to theHallways I reluctantly followed her she was a victim in all of this. Her good deed is helping meGet out back to my daughter and my family that is what she said. My daughter needed me she is

So fragile she has been very ill child when she was born she had thirteen surgeries’ I hadExplained to Myrtle about what my daughter and I had been through in life she said you poorSouls my heart goes out to you and your child. I showed her a picture I had a locket with ourPictures in it I have a wonderful man to get back to that I realized I can’t be without him and INeed to get back to. He’d ask me to marry him I turned him down, because I was unsure what IWanted at the time he’s a wonderful man and helper with my daughter. Myrtle and I talked a lotI really wish she’d consider coming with me and get out of this hell. I had seen her dress wasTorn and she looked like she was in a brawl she must have been beating up from those creepsThey must of brain washed. She doesn’t deserve to be treated like this I was an orphan an theyHad taking me in an adopted me and all these other children that you see here. Marvin is aVictim in all of this as well they told him he had to do this to show his appreciation for themTaking us in and repaying their kind acts. They got Marvin to pick up people such as youYou they get them here so they can take your soul all of these other children are soulless.There is no helping them Myrtle said let’s get going we passed through a door I descended toThe stairs that lead up to the house in the hallway where the stairs lead up to the house withSmall bulbs light up like Christmas lights I followed her up three flights of stairs. My eyes mistedWith tears I begged Myrtle to come. I had found a room with all kinds of needles in it these sickFreaks had been drugging these poor people Myrtle said please don’t leave me can you stayHere and become one of us? And be my blood sister I looked at her and gazed in astonishmentI said myrtle I’m sorry I have a daughter and family that I need to get back to. I don’t understandWas part of this evil this in sane game to trap me here to collect my soul? I’ve been tricked

Before from her brother she persuaded me to come with her and I had trusted her. This time I’mGoing with my gut instinct I had reached to the top of the stairs hopeful to get to reach myDestination I could see the creases and cracks and junk and clutter was piled high. They mustBe pack rats everybody’s things that they when they stole their souls. Just like rats collectingSouls for evil purposes I’m so clueless to this entire people sometimes justify god but also haveDoubts about him I truly believe in god. Especially if there is evil among us that are trapped inThe walls of our souls something caught my attention a misty smell of mold again I was so happyTo have retrieve that smell kind of odd doesn’t you think. I see day light coming from somewhere aCrack through the door and pass all the junk here in the closet. You will be safe now it’s day outWe don’t have much time to get out as my body was quivering and shaking shockingly not justWith revolution but with rag my breathing was heavy because I was so terrified my body hadGone numb and nauseous, I wisped up something cold and metallic leaning and stumbling overThe steps I stumbled and made a loud thumping noise. I turned around to see if Myrtle wasBehind me it appeared she had vanished in to thin air. I reluctantly lurked around the corner toSee if any of those freaks, would come an attack me so far so good I didn’t see no souls lurkingAround coming to attack me is it too good to be true? I abundantly became afraid Betty came atMe with an ax Jim bob picked me up and grabbed me with great force and picked me up andThrew me against the hard surface of the concrete cement as I reached for the door to get out ofThis crazy place’s smelled gas the doors were shut tight and the windows kept opening andShutting the was a big explosion these freaks turned on the gas they were trying to get soul andThat wasn’t going to happen the boarding house was in flames blood and guts appeared

Everywhere all’s I could see where and be dumb founded as black smoke and the fog was soThick the fire and there was such a stance all I could do is just stand I soon escaped that evilHouse of evil souls which I hoped and feared that I never again would find myself in thatSituation I ran out the front door yelling for help what happened to that so called sheriff was it allA figment of my imagination I came across a grave yard had some names I couldn’t read themThey were so old. I couldn’t make out what was on the graves. So I had squinted down my eyeSite was so bad at the age 40 seems to take a toll on your eyes. I had reached inMy pocket to grab my glasses oh my god I saw a k on one of the head stones and then I readOn it said Karen Park. I started running I keep seeing nothing but fog and keep running it wasI come across this gate this had I never came across before it must be my vividImagination there was a lock on the gate and it was just starting to get dark again. I reached outInto the darkness it was black with thick covered air. I heard howling of some sort of creatures inThe mist of the mid night. I see bats swooshing at my head as I’m screaming I squished throughThe gate I’m surprised I was able to do that I escaped and ran through the woods I came to aPath I ran and I ran a million times and a thousand foot prints on the ground behind me. MyFace was like a mask of fright all over it. I came to the creek and gathered over the water ICupped my hands to settle my thirst oh yes water was in great demand in my future. I hear theSound of birds chirping what a beautiful sound I had taking everything for granted and I felt theCool crisp air throwing gently through my hair I just kept breathing in the fresh air I continuedOnward the woods I followed the sound of the birds in hope and despair I would soon arrive toThe road side I soon had things in perspective and gathered from my observations I was

Correctly right from my calculations I had to sit down to I was so out of breath. I was soon on myWay and navigate the way back to my destination I gathered to soon arrive. I kept on musingAlong kept thinking to myself had this been a horrible dream that I once dreamt before only if ICould wake up and snap out of it something kept grabbing at me and pulling me down wardGrabbed my shirt I ran away so gauntly steadily fast from whatever it was that tugged on with aFearful force of admiration of wishing I had been that strong. Marvin had been behind meMiraculously how the hell would he of been following me the whole time? He was in his taxi cabAnd kept his distance he kept saying come with me, come with me. I kept running forward andNever looked back I frantically turned my head around to see if he was still there he justDisappeared out of nowhere into thin air. I came upon a cop car I screamed ecstatically help meHelp I approached the cop car maybe that is Sheriff Phillips? On the side of the cop car readTown of black water I got closer in the corner of my eye I saw he had a passenger with him ohMy lord it was Marvin they were pointing at me. Is everybody in this town crazy? I had hidMaybe they didn’t see me as I ventured of toward the woods again to hide away from theCreeps. Maybe the cop found Marvin and took him in to question him should I go and see if thatWas the case maybe he can bring me to my car it seemed overly odd and they seemed like theyKnew each other the way they were going on with each other Marvin stepped out of the car andSo did Philips they were walking toward my way yelling Karen we’d like you to come with usThen I knew that they were in on this game of evil unveiled it clearly was starting to make moreSense as the pieces of the puzzle unfolded to my knowledge I quickly gathered all the missingPieces of the puzzle and put it together one by one they had planned for me to run out of gas

They been following me the whole time I didn’t get lost and run out of gas they set me up comeTo think about it I saw the sheriff behind me following me for a ways I had stopped to get gasAnd he was parked down the road I went into pay for gas and he must have put a hole in my gasTank which led me to believe I ran out of gas there had been a car that had flashed his brightestLights on me and I couldn’t see so I went onto an exist and my gas light went off so I pulled overTo the side of the road and that’s when Marvin came along should of known better. I kept goingdown the path I came across a vehicle oh my god it’s my car I was so happy oh man wait I’mOut of gas maybe with any luck I can hop in my car and it will start I had hidden my keys andPlaced them in my ignition the sounds of pitter putter and yep it started right up. Oh shit they areBehind me they started to speed up and they rammed into me so I naturally did a u turn andSped off like a bat out of hell I went around the corner and was up on two wheels luckily I didn’tFlip over would have been destroyed and my daughter would have been devastated and lostWith out But Marvin and the sheriff went off the cliff and the care exploded in a millionPieces. Sweet revenge I got closer and closer to my destination as I got more and more excitedTo see my family they must be frantically hysterical who knows if they will believe me. On what IHad been through I walk in the door when I had arrived at home and swung opened the door myDaughter Jenna gave me the biggest hug ever mommy mom I miss you and my man said willYou marry me I said yes. Stephen had the television on and I had told them what happened theyDidn’t believe me there had been something on the news that the people had gotten arrested forKilling innocent children oh my god they go are you okay? I had went to the public court houseAnd I did the research about that abandoned house and there were newspaper clippings oh I

Was just astonished on what I had found out when I was investigating. The dates were datedBack in the 1800’s they were pictures of the family a photo album they sleeping or that’s what itHad appeared to me they had their eyes closed and they were surrounded by coffins it sentChills up and down my spine they were ghost. All those people went missing you know how theydo the twenty four hour thing on a missing person my husband said are you going to call thecop? and report it I said no way in hell I don’t want anything to do with that. Stephen had saidhow come you said your name was Karen Park because I didn’t want anyone to know my trueIdentity. Stephen said well honey you been through a real bad ordeal maybe you should layDown and get some rest babe. I rested reluctantly after all that ordeal hopefully I keep onThinking about the trauma I had been through but I am safe now I slept so vibrantly and wasSoon back to normal again after I recovered from my sleep. I woke up to Jenna saying mommyYou were dreaming you get talking in your sleep and saying help me help me. I had found a dollIt said 666 on the back of her neck she was with the girl in the picture the room I saw with all theChildren’s drawings and art work I have that’s right I remember I grabbed her I was soFascinated with her put it in my purse when I was at that boarding hotel/ house I called ghostHunters I had explained to them I had negative energy following me in my house it was evil ISaw dark entity’s and shadows I had bruises on my body they were unexplained. I had found aDoll in the house I grabbed I was simply astonished when I had to across it. I heard voicesTalking to me I didn’t know what they were saying I told the ghost hunters that the doll was. They took the doll to the museum were they had taken haunted terms. The doll still sitsTheir in the museum in a glass case today people go for tours all around the world to come and

The famous doll she had a very distinctive aroma smelt of straw berry’s that’s whatAttracted me the most to her soul probably was attached to the doll. I went to see her in theMuseum she brought back so many dreadful haunting memories. She had this evil look on herFace and I felt her eyes follow me as if her soul had never left me. I had left after I saw herReached the destination that 12:00 am my light’s started flickering again she’s back I heard aFaintly voice I have your soul now and I’m always with you forever. She hasn’t I had saw her on She was up for auction it said buyers beware but at the same time she was worth lot money her picture looked so sweet she’s your worst night mare.
