Silence- Short Story

“Aghhahahhhah!” screaming, Jade sprinted towards the exit door, she

tried to push it open; but it wouldn’t obey her. Jade started to run

around the library. She was petrified, scared as well as alone. The

thing—or whatever it was gaining on her. She managed to halt, and

then turn the corner. She stopped. Nothing— nothing was there; no

door; no windows; just a blank black wide wall. She was stuck!

Twisting her head, in front of her, stood the nightmare that she was

running from. It raced to her angrily; cravingly, she screamed.

Aghhahhahh!

2 months later:

Urban legends… very realistic, very scary. I get the chills just

reading them. My heart thumps so fast as if it’ll burst into a

thousand pieces. I start to shiver, as if the pictures would come to

life and grab me by the throat! But I never really believed that they

are real or that they occurred in reality.

However, I totally love the excitement as well as the thriller of

studying the exhilarating collection of urban myths. I can’t get

enough. It’s like a hobby that I can’t quit—I’m addicted.

“It’s time to go Abbey” I heard the librarian calling.

Scheming through the last urban legend I sealed the book, furthermore,

I looked across the spacious—empty hall at the large round clock,

smiling. It struck five o’clock; I was late to confront my best

friend who told me to be at the arcade—30 minutes ago!

While gathering my books, I made my way towards the ‘urban legends’

section to replace my borrowed books. I suddenly realised that the

‘check in’ desk was empty with the lights dead. Where did the

Librarian go? I didn’t lose my nerves, she was probably around the

back somewhere — I hope she is.

Placing the books on the shelves I rushed to the exit door. Twisting

the handle, I tried to open it by pushing; but it wouldn’t.
