The wind was howling loudly, and the rain was pouring. Someone was knocking on the door, and I went downstairs to answer whoever was at the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Who is it?\u2019 I yelled in an annoyed tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Hi, sweetie! It\u2019s me, your mum. &nbsp;I left my keys on my dresser. Could you open the door for me, please?\u2019 Mum said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I opened the door, and Mum walked in with a big smile on her face, and it seemed like she was in a good mood, which was weird because Mum usually wouldn\u2019t be this enthusiastic after she came home from work, but I shrugged it off because Mum was rarely in a good mood these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I closed the door, Mum turned around. She said, \u2018What would you like to ear for dinner, Sweetie?\u2019 she asked in a warm and cheerful tone but the expression on her face suggested otherwise. Although she was smiling, her smile was creepy and sinister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018The leftover spaghetti from yesterday would be fine, Mum,\u2019 I said quickly, not wanting to look at her gaze any longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Mum finished preparing dinner, we both sat at the dinner table, eating quietly. As I was eating my leftover spaghetti, Mum kept staring at me with an emotionless expression on her face. To be honest, the way she was acting and the way she kept staring at me was starting to scare me a lot and the silence was just making me more scared, so I decided to start a conversation to break the eerie silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018So how was work, Mum?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Work was good. It was actually quite fun,\u2019 she said, while smiling creepily and tilting her head to the side. \u2018How was school, Sweetie? she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Um school was good,\u2019 I said while chuckling nervously. Anyway, I was a bit tired, so I thought I should go to bed. I faked a yawn. \u2018Goodnight, Mum,\u2019 I said while going up the stairs to my room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Alright, good night, Sweetie.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I finally got into my room, I let out a sigh of relief and went to my bed, snuggling under soft warm blankets. A few hours later, I heard someone coming, so I pretended to be asleep. Turns out it was Mum. Mum then sat on my bed and stroked my hair gently and said in a demonic voice, \u2018Foolish child. Thank you for bringing me into the human world with the Ouija board. Now I will wreak havoc on the human world. I just need to possess your body.\u2019 Then she walked away while laughing. After hearing that, I was scared for my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next day, I got ready for school and ran out of the house without even bothering to say good morning. When I got to school, I immediately went to find my friend, Jessica, whom I played the Ouija board with last week. When I finally found her, I pulled her aside into a corner and said we needed to talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018So what do you want to talk about?\u2019 she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Do you remember when we played with the Ouija board last week?\u2019 I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Yea, why?\u2019 she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Have you been experiencing anything weird lately then?\u2019 I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Well, my parents have been acting weird since last night,\u2019 she said, confirming my suspicion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018My mum\u2019s been acting weird too,\u2019 I said. \u2018Do you think evil spirits from the Ouija boards possessed our parents?\u2019 I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018No! That\u2019s crazy! Evil spirits aren\u2019t real. They\u2019re probably having a good week at work. How about we confront them about their strange behaviour after school?\u2019 she suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018That sounds good,\u2019 I said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After school, I walked to my doorstep and nervously opened the door. As I entered the house, I saw a trail of blood and almost threw up because I hated the sight of blood. The smart thing to do was to run out of the house and call the cops but being the foolish girl I am, I decided to follow the trail that eventually led to my mother\u2019s bedroom. I nervously opened the door and what I saw was terrifying\u2026I saw two dead bodies on the floor and my mum devouring an arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018M\u2026Mum!\u2019 I stuttered, horrified at what I saw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Oh! Hi, Sweetie!\u2019 Mum said as she turned around. Her face, hands and clothes were covered in blood, then she started walking towards me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018S\u2026Stay back!\u2019 I screamed in fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Now, now. Is that any way to talk to your mother?\u2019 it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018You are not my mother!\u2019 I yelled in fear and anger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Well, then it looks like play time\u2019s over, so there\u2019s no more reason for me to wear my human suit,\u2019 it said in a demonic voice as black smoke sizzled from my mother\u2019s body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the evil spirit\u2019s body fully formed, it let out an ear-piercing screech. I started running for my life without looking back. Just as I was almost at the hallway that leads to the front door, the evil spirit suddenly appeared in front of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Foolish girl, did you really think that you could run from me?\u2019 it said then it laughed evilly. As I looked around and realised it was impossible for me to escape, I looked down and accepted my demise with tears rolling down my face. As the evil spirit possessed me, the last thing that could be heard from me was a blood-curdling scream. So, moral of the story, don\u2019t play with demonic things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- wp:paragraph --><p>It was a dark and stormy night.
