English Horror Story - Original Writing

I was driving for about three hours when I realised I had taken the

wrong turning and was hopelessly lost. I pulled over to the side and

found my mobile phone in order to phone for help. Surprisingly, the

battery had run completely low and I began to feel a sense of panic as

it was rapidly becoming darker. In the distance, I saw the outline of

a house and I thought that I could detect smoke coming out of the

chimney. I decided that I had no option but to make my way to the

house and ask for directions and for the use of the telephone as my

family would be getting worried about me.

I drove to the house which was completely isolated and as I pulled up

outside, my car engine abruptly cut out. In the car seat, I sat and

pondered what to do. I looked up at the house and noticed that the

house almost appeared to be normal however the lack of light made the

house seem somewhat ghostly and dooming. The house also seemed to be

illuminated around its edges, giving it an eerie and unnatural glow.

However, I had no choice but to approach the house, because my other

option was to stay in my car, where it was becoming increasing cold as

I could feel the cold biting through my coat.

Trembling, I swung open the car door and stepped out of the car.

Surprisingly, the ground was muddy and wet, but I could not recall any

rain during my journey. I carried on, with my shoes squelching,

leaving a trial of mud behind me. Up ahead, I saw a shimmering object.

I squinted, trying to make out what the object was, but the light was

too bright. As I approached the house, I saw the object for what it

really was - a fie...

... middle of paper ...

... was no lie. I

realised that Montgomery had no son.

"I think it is about time we have a little talk." Death said

"Am I going to die?"

"That depends."

"On what?"

"You!" he said sharply.

"Me? Why me? What have I done?" I confusingly asked.

"You are my successor."

"ME?" I said in disbelief, "I wouldn't hurt a fly let alone kill

people."

"It's in your blood."

"In my blood? What do you mean?." I asked dreading the answer.

"Before, when you thought I had no son, you were wrong. 24 years ago,

my son was born. You are my son. You are the rightful heir to this

title. I am past my time. You are now Death."

I looked up at Montgomery and simultaneously, we laughed our evil

laugh and I felt my heart beating its last beat and suddenly I had no

need to breathe.

"I AM DEATH!"
