The Blood Dripping Face!

Grrr….a loud discordant sound was made when Joel kicked opened the door. This sounded even more loud and daunting in the serene night atmosphere! But what was even more frightening was that this was the entrance to an unknown room……..

Joel Agnes was a bold and upright 13 year old who had recently shifted into an ancient yet majestic looking old house. The house was an old building with almost tumbling walls on the outside. But inside, it was surprisingly large, strong and cozy! But Joel had an eerie feeling as soon as he entered his new abode!

Joel was a curious guy. He was excited to make new friends in this unknown neighborhood and interact with new people. The easy-going, fun-loving boy had made up a firm decision to begin a new and happy life at 18-Durham Street!

That night, sleep did not knock at the door of his eyes as easily as it did usually. Tossing and turning in bed, Joel saw the last light in his parent’s room flickering and fading away to deep darkness. The house was silent with the chirping of crickets. He could see some bats outside the window too. All this gave him a creepy feeling…..

Nonetheless, Joel got up from bed and slipped on his nightgown.

“This is the right time for me to explore this house!” he decided.

Joel left his room with excitement to explore this mansion. As he slid through the stairs…he noticed a small door on the 2^nd floor. The door was hidden behind the enormous clutter of his things which had not yet been shifted to the right places. The door was a small, dark black one. There was dust on it which meant that it had been untouched for a long time. The door’s hinges were rusty and probably in their last years. A loud grating sound Grr…. was created when Joel pushed the door to the unknown room.

Apprehensive about waking up the others in the house, Joel slid in as stealthily as a black shadow, through the gap he had created. Once inside, Joel found himself in complete chilling darkness. Finally his keen eyes located a small window in the room. With little strength he was able to push it open. The room was flooded with shimmering moonlight which made the objects in the room visible. Joel understood that this was an old attic. All objects were layered with a thick layer of dust. Just like the door, this room looked old and abandoned since a couple of years!

Joel then diverted his attention towards the window. The scene outside was an eerie sight. There was only bone-chilling darkness but the moon hung in the velvety sky as if on an invisible thread and brought little comfort to the intimidating atmosphere. He diverted his attention towards the windowsill where an unusually large black widow spider was walking. As he came forward…Joel heard a blood-curdling scream in the ambiance. Joel was suddenly taken aback! Out of the blue, the spider started growing. In a second or two it was as enormous as the room itself..

Then as suddenly this had happened, a face appeared on the spider. The face of a young girl. She had long, sharp teeth. Her long hair blew on her face which was bespattered with blood. There was a red glint in her eyes. The girl then screeched with menacing laughter. Joel turned back…terrified. But he could only see her face on all four sides. Joel screamed with terror and broke into a blind run towards the door. But when he reached the door…it closed with a bang..all by itself.. Joel was trapped. There was no other exit! He fainted with fear and in the dark room… sweat drops glistened on his face as bright as the blood drops on the girl’s face and as bright as the shimmering moon outside which had now been covered with a dark cloud! The only thing which brought light was the red glint in the girl’s eyes, her sharp red teeth and the fresh blood drops which had appeared near her lips…….
