Spooky Story by Dimitra Roussea, Proficiency, NEON Aegina

Where our demons hide.
The young woman walked, almost slipping in the blood that fell from her arm. Her injured hand was about to fall, whereas the other pressed the wound, trying desperately to stop the bleeding. But unfortunately it was too late…
Amanda Willows got out of her car and paced towards the mental hospital where she worked. She was a psychiatrist, one of the most successful in New York City, something that brought her many difficult patients to deal with but a great salary. Today, she had to speak with an old man who had killed his wife and aftewards attempted to commit suicide. The police eventually arrested him before he could harm himself and had brought him to the asylum some days earlier. He had spoken with several psychologists. However none of them seemed  mentally ready to take his case. Amanda did not remember  his name, but she had read his file. A fairly normal life he had led, until, for unknown reasons, he murdered his beloved wife in her sleep. This could be a sign of depression, schizophrenia or many other mental illnesses but, the only question that was travelling around Dr. Willows mind was, why would he do such a terrible thing?
She made it towards the room where the oldman was. Outside stood George, a policeman that kept an eye on him in case he tried anything. 
‘Good morning, Miss Willows’ greeted the policeman, with a smile spreading over his face.
‘Good morning to you as well, George. Is he in there?’ inquired Amanda.
‘Aye. We have him locked up. Poor man. He must have been truly desperate’ responded George.
‘I see. I’ll examine his situation then’ she sighed.
Before she could open the door, George caught her shoulder.
‘Be careful with him Miss Willows. Many psychologists have been through this door and have come out needing mental help themselves’ warned the policeman.
‘I am not a psychologist George, but thanks. I will take precautions’ smilled the doctor and opened the door.
Her smile faded as soon as she faced the man in the straightjacket. His piercing black eyes observed her as she went and sat in front of him. His appearance was hideous and  his eyes were red. 
Amanda put her file on the table in front of her and opened it. 
‘Shall we start? Can you tell me your name?’ she asked the patient.
He looked at her, as if he was trying to stab her in the heart multiple times.
‘It would certainly be something of no use, as you have already read my file, Doctor’ he used her title mockingly.
‘Then let’s get to the point. Why would someone commit homicide? Weren’t you happy with your life?’ she inquired.
‘It is not about whether you are happy or not. It is about when your demons are about to get out. You cannot control them. None of us can’ responded the man, remorslessly.
‘Oh, so we are talking about something supernatural here. Unfortunately I do not view any signs of demonic posesion here, otherwise they would have called a priest, not a psychiatrist’ noted Amanda.
‘Do not mock me, little girl. Maybe you will not be that confident when your demons come out’ hissed  the man menacingly.
‘I do not mock you. I am trying to help you. And trust me, your threats are of no use’ she replied calmly.
‘You cannot. Try and help yourself before he finds you’ he said.
‘And may I ask who he is?’ she said.
Before she could finish her question, the man’s eyes turned up. He started trembling violently and foam came out of his mouth.
Amanda instantly got up.
‘George!’ she shouted to the policeman putside, who once he heard her cry burst in the room taking Amanda away from the man, as multiple nurses came in to help.
Amanda was safely taken back home, and the man died that night.
Who was he? What had the man been talking about? 
Amanda was trying to sleep throughout the night, but she was not that lucky. Questions were buzzing in her mind, so she decided to stroll in the park nearby.
She put on her coat and went out in the cold winter night. She walked for a while, before she reached a place where there were no trees. Oddly enough, no sound could be heard. She looked around trying to figoure out the way home.
‘Where on earth am I?’ she mumbled to herself.
Before she could understand what was happening, her shadow towered her. It seemed like a natural sized person. The only difference? It was completely black and translucent at the same time.
Her legs started running away, before her mind told them to do so. Desperately, Amanda was trying to get away from this dark creature when she remembered the words of the old man.
‘Damn’ she though as she ran faster and faster. 
Finally, she reached her home, got in and locked the door. The place was terribly dark, and the light seemed as it had gone out. The woman stayed silent for a few moments, bofere someone caught her neck from behind, trying to strangle her. She could not see the man that was doing this to her. Unofortunately this was no man. The thing threw her out of the window of her house and as a result, the glass cut her arm off. She cried out in pain, and tried to get onto her feets. Her breath came out heavily and her lungs were desperately asking for oxygen. She was trying to get away, to escape this madness. But her demon had got her….

Relatives Away by Helen C1 ”NEON Aegina”

It was the day that I was going to meet my uncle. My mum never talks about him. She always says that he has serious problems. So,my dad decided to take me to his house secretly.

 I was so happy, I hadn't been so happy before! We arrived at a big white building which had barbed wire around it and there was a big sign with big letters – but I couldn't read it -.

 We got inside but it was full of colorless people, like they were zombies.My dad was walking faster and I lost him. I was afraid and I felt like I was in the middle of no where. I saw man who was looking at me with his yellow glowing eyes. He beckoned me to follow him. We went into a room,probably it was his. He took a bottle of whiskey and drank it. I couldn't see anything bad about him because I was only a child. The only thing I was seeing was a dirty, drunk men with curly, black hair who I thought might know where my dad was.

 Suddenly, he opened a drawer and after one second, I indeed knew where my dad was,in his hands, actually a part of him, dad's head was in his hands.My dad's blood was dripping, like my tears ,all over the floor. The man approched me with a drill and he aimed it at me. I started screaming, but I was in a bedlam.No one was going to care about my safety.I could understand from his gaze that he was enjoying killing people.I thought that it was all my dad's fault or my uncle's… WAIT! Where was my uncle? He could save me. He had problems too,but he could save me! Oh my God! I noticed a poster on the wall with a painting of a person on it.. Actually,it was looking like skin..real skin… people's skin! It reminded me of my mum's skin,red,freckled skin,so I understood that on this poster was stuck the skin of my dead uncle because I had heard that he had had the same colour skin as my mum. That was my last thought before I felt my head pierced. The pain was killing me,I fell down and I was almost dead. This ''monster''-murderer didn't let me die so quickly,he continued hitting my stomach. A last tear rolled down my face to the floor,then it was the end.

POSTSCRIPT: The only good thing that there is when you are a ghost is that you can still write stories and send them to people. Also, you can curse people and you can organise revenge on them. You will see what I mean….

Ghosts of Revenge by neonpesta

I was sure the man who lived in the old house at the end of my street had a secret. I knew it because whenever he had seen a policeman, he was always trying to cover his face in some way and almost every day, he was coming outside our school and he was studying the fences.

   One day, at the first break, he entered the yard of our school with some other men. They all took guns out of their bags. They said they were terrorists and if we tried to call the police, they would kill us.

   But I wanted to save my friends so I shouted, “Help” and I started running. I heard a gun shot and then… Black!

   I didn’t feel anything for a few seconds. Then I saw man who was wearing black. His face was covered by a black hood.

“What happened?” I said.

He took out a small card and started reading it.

Dear costumer” he said inffablelly, “because you died bravely we give you a chance for revenge”

“Have I died? Who the hell are you?” I said, surprised.

“I am Death”

While he was saying who he was I saw his mouth smiling through the darkness of his hood.

“I’m going to send you back to take your revenge; ok boy?”

“Who killed me?” I said trying to cover my fear and pain with anger.

“The terrorist who lives in your street. By the way the way the fires of hell are free if you want”

“No, but thanks”

   Death disappeared and I was back in my old school. I was feeling a bit immaterial but it was ok.

   Then I spotted the terrorists. I screamed “ghostly” (with a cold voice that only ghosts can make that is painful for humans). They fell on the ground. I caught the one who had killed me from his neck. As I was holding his neck so hard blood came out of his mouth and his nose. After a few seconds, cuts appeared all over his body and more blood was coming out of them. In some way, I would feel his pain and I liked that. I was laughing viciously while he was writhing I pain. I felt his heart stopping. I left the dead body to fall down and a small puddle in the yard filled with his blood. I felt so much pleasure in my head that I started laughing viciously again.

   But then, Death came to take me back. However if you come to my school at night, you could still hear me laughing viciously. So be careful of who you kill.

-Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
