Horror Story:
“Writing on the Wall”
The writing on the wall is a scary tale from Japan about two young boys who explore a creepy old building.
When Iwas younger, there was a ruined building at the bottom of our street. All of the kids in the area kept well away from it, because the rumor was that itwas haunted.
The concrete walls of the old two-story building were cracked and crumbling. The windows were broken and shards of glass lay all over thefloor inside.
One evening, as a test of courage, my best friend and I decided to explore the creepy old place.
We climbed in through a window at theback of the building. The whole place was dirty and there was a layer of mud on the wooden floor. As we dusted ourselves off, we looked up and were shockedto see that someone had written the words “I AM DEAD” on the wall near the ceiling.
“Probably just some teenagers trying to scare kids”, I said.
“Yeah,probably…” replied my friend nervously.
We explored more of the rooms on the ground floor. In a room that appeared to have once been a kitchen ofsorts, we found more writing on the wall.
It read “I AM IN A ROOM UPSTAIRS.”
We walked up the creaking stairs to the second floor. I led the way and myfriend followed close behind. I wasn´t scared, but he was beginning to get a little jittery.
When we came to the top of the stairs, we turned lest andwalked cautiously down the narrow hallway. At the end of the hallway was a closed door with some more ominous writing on it.
“YOU WILL FIND ME IN THIS ROOM.”
