“What? Of course I checked the address! ... Double check it? ... Well, you didn't tell me to do THAT! Cut me some slack already!”

As the G R A D U A T I N G class of 1989, you and your friend Tabitha were left B O R E D out of your minds in the small apartment you shared together as you tried to plan out how exactly you both intended to spend the rest of your S U M M E R before the upcoming college semester this fall.

A majority of those ideas that you two could F O R M U L A T E were... basic, to say the least. Going to a nearby waterpark, going to the beach, maybe even going down to the skaterink... oh yeah, Tabitha had somehow gotten B A N N E D from there 3 months ago after chucking her skateboard at another skateboarder because he “got in her way”... whatever that means.

With the days ticking by and the heat becoming downright U N B E A R A B L E in the Phoenix, Arizona heatwave, you both started to L O S E hope in finding anything fun to do. Maybe you should've gone to summer school for those extra credits. After all, it is pretty funny watching R A N D O M fights go down in the middle of US History and putting wagers on which of the students would had walk out the fight with a B U S T E D scalp(ouch) or B R O K E N fingers(double ouch).

One day however, as Tabitha was browsing her emails on a shitty Macintosh computer from 5 years prior, she received a call from one of your other F R I E N D S, MacKenzie. About 13 minutes into the call, MacKenzie had mentioned a haunted house attraction that was O P E N I N G that same week, which was pretty weird; isn't that supposed to be a H A L L O W E E N thing? Why do that in the M I D D L E of summer?

But hey, anything beats sitting around melting in an apartment with a B R O K E N AC, so she also forced you to come along, and everything from there seemed like a blur up until the day. When you both pulled up to the address, you D I D N ' T see any of your other friends around. The building looked dark and gloomy, with no decorations or other people lined up, not even a sign propped up anywhere giving visitors a W E L C O M E. Even when you voiced your C O N C E R N, Tabitha was already rushing inside the ominous, decaying building.

The stench of B L O O D and other odors filled your noses as you both proceeded inwards. Though, Tabitha looked less than bothered, pulling out her cheap video camera and forcing it into your hands so you could record the E X P E R I E N C E.

As Tabitha was about to start talking, giving some shitty, clickbaity monologue that would make future 2010's gaming youtubers E N V I O U S, her phone started ringing. Picking up the phone, she exchanged a few words with another girl in your friend group, Jessica. Though you weren't exactly listening, one line from the girl over the phone made both you and Tabitha F R E E Z E.

“No? We're at the big, decorated house in the Melrose District. Where the hell ARE you guys?”

Before either of you could answer, the line went D E A D and the door behind you S L A M M E D shut. Tabitha, now getting a little spooked, tried to play it off as your friends tried to mess with you two. But as she went up to the door and tried to open it, she found it suddenly L O C K E D from the outside. ‘Okay, maybe this was just our friends trying to be funny!’, Tabitha tried lying to herself.

Then, as soon as the unmistakeable sound of H E A V Y footsteps and a sharp, metal object G R A Z E D crossed the blood stained walls, you both looked at each other, now knowing one thing and one thing only...

You were both F U C K E D if you didn't get the hell out of there.
