The Girl In Black
 Enter At Your Own Risk Graduation day is fast approaching, and finally Van will be free from the stresses of high school life. For one thing, there is nothing romantic about studying in Lister’s Academy. It’s a daily torture where they are made to follow stupid school rules and endure ill-tempered teachers. For another, the place crawls with haughty school-mates, and who knows if they really learned anything useful. In fact, in his stay here his Math never improved at all. “And I should be given a medal for surviving an encounter with bullies,” Van boasted to his friends as they take a walk in the school ground one morning.

Anna
  The story of Van’s misadventure in the deserted corridor is quick to spread. At first his friends cannot believe it, and they only did when they meet Van moments later outside the Principal’s office. “Okay Van, tell us what you did,” said Alice sounding shocked and disappointed all the same. Van is not really in the mood right now to recount what happened. He just survived an excruciating hour in the Principal’s office and he reckons his ears are now bleeding after hearing words like idiot boy, or stupid lad, and mischief. Nevertheless, he did tell his friends what happened and as what is expected, no one believed his story that an invisible girl in black is to be blamed. “You’re joking,” Alice said for Van is insisting that he is telling the truth. “Do I look like I’m joking?” He replied coolly. “No wonder why the Principal is furious, it’s like telling him a Sasquatch broke into your home and ate your homework.” And as if the hour-long verbal abuse by the

Back To The Forbidden Corridor
  “You’re kidding,” Don said after hearing from Van how he befriended the likes of Ana. “It’s no big deal, we just have a bit of a chat,” Van replied as he scratches his head. “My dear pal, Ana is the most popular girl in school! Guys everywhere are itching to get a glimpse of her. Do you realize how lucky you are?” Don exclaimed while shaking Van in every word he speaks. “Wonder what Ana saw on you,” Alice chuckled, sounding as if this is all a bad joke. “Be careful though Van, hanging out with someone like Ana had its consequences,” Cara advised. “The girl must be bored, and she doesn’t have someone to talk to but me there. She will forget me tomorrow, I’m sure,” said Van, for this is how most upper-class people from higher sections behave. But the next day, Van and Ana is again seen together having a lively chat in the corner of the library. They have indeed become good friends and Don was never been so proud. “Go for it,” he whispered one day and Van onl

Kirsten
  Kirsten’s sneering face is a nauseating sight to behold. There is a cold triumph in her voice as she recites to them how she, the appointed student of the school have all the authority to report any misdeeds, and they have broken an important school rule of not going to restrictive area. Don is now exercising every bit of self-control so he won’t grab Kirsten and choke her. “The penalties shall be discussed in the Principal’s office,” Kirsten concluded, her voice quivering with suppressed excitement. “Principal’s pet,” said Alice to herself. As much as she wants to nag at Kirsten, she knows that any wrong move will get them into deeper water. “But we just came here by accident,” Don explained. “No more excuses now, just tell it to the Principal!” She said and Cara’s face reddens behind Don.She then turns her attention to the unusually quiet Van. “And you, you are warned to never go back here. You never listen do you?” She nagged at Van. And Kirsten broke

The Room Of Doors
  Unlike what Alice thought, there is no cupboard behind the door, only pitch darkness, darkness so dense that no light penetrates through it. Don tried shining his flashlight but the darkness merely swallowed the beam of light. “I wonder what’s in there,” asked Van. He stares at the open doorway expecting some strange creature or a supernatural entity sticking out a clawed hand. “Don’t go there, Van. I don’t reckon it’s safe,” Alice warned. “Looks like it’s some sort of entrance to an abyss,” Cara suggested. “What do you think guys, shall we go now,” Van said, and three pairs of hands pulled him away from the doorway. “You are not going young man,” Alice nagged. “What if something dangerous is lurking there?” “Don, if something is in there it should have come for us when we opened the door,” Van explained. “Hey it’s Ana!”Everyone turned at the doorway after Cara said those. And even through the darkness, they could see Ana at a distance entering an unse

The Bottomless Ravine
  After seeing talking gates, floating flames and doors that lead to nowhere unless you bow, Van and his friends take turns to examine the staircase before them. The staircase looks innocent enough, except that there is no masonry or structure that supports it. The stairway simply floats in the air. To check for hidden jinx, Van will be putting his neck on the line. He tested the staircase by climbing a few steps. Nothing happens. “It’s safe to use,” Van concluded. Emboldened and convinced by Van’s act, his friends quickly follow him in the stairway. “How sure are you that the stairs are not cursed,” Kirsten, who refused to go with them sneered. “Please Kirsten,” Alice cried. She grabs Kirsten by the waist and drags her with them in the staircase.So far, they meet nothing unusual along the way. The only difficulty they have is holding the struggling Kirsten and making her behave. Van look down just to check how high they have gone. Down there is a dark and endl

Grizzlebark
  Near the foot of the exit beyond the trick floor, Van finds a pink handkerchief decorated with blue birds. It gives off a strong scent of strawberry. Van readily recognizes it as Ana’s belongings. “Ana had a habit of flashing her handkerchief when reading, and yes I saw her holding this,” he explained as he shows the handkerchief to the others. Don cannot stop himself sniffing its sweet strawberry scent. “Just checking,” Don said reddening after receiving an elbow from Alice. Cara sighs at the sight of them. “It means she was here.” “And hopefully she’s not far from here Cara,” Van added. He had a lot of questions to ask Ana if they ever reach her, like what she is doing in this kind of place, and who she really is. She was exhibiting supernatural qualities when they followed her in the restricted hallway. “Another world now awaits us beyond the exit,” Alice declared. Who knows what craziness lies there? Kirsten is now recoiling behind Cara. But when they pa

The Fanged Cage
  And Van wastes no time telling the others what Grizzlebark showed him. With an avid audiences listening to his tale, Kirsten included among them, Van is clearly enjoying himself. And when asked why Grizzlebark only spoke to him, Van is not sure what to say. Maybe Grizzlebark will only talk to someone who had the crazy idea of climbing his treacherous trunk. And Kirsten’s eyes flash when Van starts to explain to them that they will win an unspecified price if they beat the time in the hourglass. “I told you I never know,” said the annoyed Van when she asked him again what that prize could be. Kirsten looks more alive now and there is a strange glint in her eyes. It’s a common knowledge in school that she loves a good competition. “Disgusting,” Cara said. She just stepped on a fruit that fell from Grizzlebark. “Grizzlebark could use a bit of clean-up,” Alice muttered, for the surrounding ground is littered with fallen fruits. Van pockets some. It might come in usef

The Insane Chess Match
  Yes, Kirsten is always been a burden to them and all she did is cried and complain. But as much as they want to leave her here where she would pester no one, Kirsten is still their schoolmate. They will be tormented forever by their conscience if something bad happens to her. And how would they explain to her parents that their good-for-nothing daughter had gone missing in this alien world?Just thinking about the troubles of diving into a potentially dangerous place to find a hated character proves to be unappealing. No one is able to come up with a concrete plan and whenever they tried to wrack their brains for ideas, their mind will just produce blank buzzing. “Do you think we should bring a small container, in case we only find bits of her,” Don chuckled savagely.This earned him an elbow from Alice. “Okay, okay I’m just joking! How about you Van,” Don whined. “We should get out of here now.” “And…” “No, Don we should move. It’s not safe here,” Van added

The Maze of Mirrors
  The pigeon found Kirsten just a stone’s throw away from the house of the statues. And when they get to her minutes later, she is neither crying nor panicking. She did look confused but Kirsten still manages to put on a haughty air. “I was about to find my way,” she said. With the pigeon’s help, they are able to navigate back to the clearing where the others are still waiting. Alice immediately gives Kirsten a slap for making them worry. Kirsten never dared to retort, maybe this is her way of saying thank you. “Let’s move now, I’m enough of this place,” Van muttered, “too bad we won’t be winning that prize.” “Believe me, it’s not worth it. Do you know Grizzlebark?” The pigeon said. “Yes, he is that large and old looking tree,” Van replied. “Hmm, you have met. Then what can you say about his fruit?” Van lets go a snort after the pigeon said those. “That’s the prize?” “A year’s supply,” the pigeon chuckled, “It’s just Grizzlebark’s way of getting rid of his
