It was a normal Halloween night in my apartment in central London. I had just had a shower and wore my PJs. I was surfing on the internet when my phone rang. I picked it up. It was Sophia, my best friend. Today was her birthday and I had forgotten her birthday party that was supposed to start in an hour. She knew me so well that she had thought that I would probably have forgotten about it and she’d called to remind me. I was too lazy to get up from the screen and my cozy blanket, but I had to because she would get mad at me otherwise. I got up, dressed myself appropriately, put some make up on and left my house.
Her house was not far from mine. I called Alice, my neighbour and my second best friend to accompany me until we reached Sophia’s house. I was waiting for her down the street and she appeared after 6 minutes. As we were walking, suddenly an enormous red brick wall appeared in front of us. We had no clue what it was and neither of us had ever seen that wall before. We walked past it and we found a wooden door in it. We were curious as to what this door was and if it was our “escape” from this wall, so we opened it. Everything was so strange in an awkwardly strange way. It seemed that we were in another era in London, perhaps the 19th century. We looked at each other and we froze. We were wearing different clothes, similar to old movie dresses! We‘d hardly had time to speak to each other when a carriage stopped in front of us. The door opened. There was a man in it, quite charming, with old-fashioned clothes, too. He offered us a ride. I didn’t accept it but Alice did. I was not sure of his intentions and he seemed more like a freak to me. However, Alice got in the carriage and left with him while I was trying to find out what kind of game someone was playing with us.
It was only 15 minutes later when the carriage stopped in front of me again. The door opened, the man was inside, but Alice was nowhere to be seen. I asked him where Alice had gone and he smiled at me in a seemingly creepy way, pulled his cape back and there was Alice or rather, Alice’s dead body. Her guts and blood were decorating the carriage. I panicked, I vomited and then I started to run like Road Runner from Looney tunes. The carriage followed me at the same speed. Now, I was sure that my life was in danger. I had run for half an hour when I found Small Street on my left hand side. I turned left into that street so as to be able to hide from this maniac killer. For a moment, I thought I was safe and that he had lost my trail but then I heard the hooves of the horses, close to me. I tried to run further but unfortunately, the street was a dead end. He descended from the carriage, pulled a shiny knife from his pocket and approached me. I was shouting for help when he pushed the knife into my guts and ripped them out of my body.
I woke up sweaty the following day, thinking that it had just been a nightmare. I got up to call Sophia and Alice to tell them my dream and laugh all together, but as I was trying to get off my bed, a severe pain in my stomach pulled me back. I lifted my t-shirt to see what it was and I saw an extremely big scar right in the place where this man from my dream had stabbed his knife into my guts. I was worried sick and tried to calm down. I gathered all my powers to get up from my bed in order to call Sophia. I knew it was her birthday today and because of Halloween too, she might was busy but I had to call her and tell her what had happened. The phone had rung twice before she picked it up. Her voice was slow and she was crying. I asked her what had happened. She told me that Alice had been killed by an unknown person at her apartment last night and they had found her dead body this morning. The most shocking thing was that her guts were all over the floor just like my dream. I started shaking and put down the phone. I knew that something evil was haunting us. I was about to go crazy when my phone rang. When I answered it, the only thing I could hear was someone breathing heavily . I asked repeatedly who it was but no one answered my question. Suddenly, a heavy voice started to speak. It said “I’m coming for you, too, tonight”. My legs gave way and I whispered again, asking voice who was there. And the voice replied, “I’m Jack, the last person you will ever see”. I realised that Halloween had brought his spirit back and my dream was a prophecy. Jack was back and ready to kill new victims. He was unstoppable.
