The Wrong Dark House! Chapter 30— May
Winter had come and gone, the winds were cool now. Breezy days had come again just like every other year. Mermaid street looked beautiful as ever and winds crept around the streets like a ghost, it made the windows slam against its frames. The sun was in the sky behind clouds, but one could still feel its impact on the skin, the mixture of the sun and the cool winds made the air feel fresh and accommodating to the skin. People could boldly leave their homes for a walk or a stroll, they could also go to beach and the parks. There would be few times when it would rain a little but it was way better than snow.********** It was another beautiful morning in May and just like every other day in the mansion, William was the first to wake up. He would get up from his side of the bed at 6:00 am, he would go to the bathroom to brush his teeth and freshen up his face, then he would take off his pajamas and put on a shirt and a pair of joggers, he would throw on a navy blue sweat shirt with a

It was the first time the Johnsons would go to an art gallery, it was the first time they would actually go out together for anything or to any place. Today felt special to them and no doubt, they were either nervous or anxious or even both! "Stop pushing me, uhh!" George complained as he and his siblings tried to squeeze themselves into a 1995 Toyota Coaster twenty seater bus.It was a bus painted with green bottom lining and white paint all over its body. The bus was really long and it had enough space for every Johnson. "Muuummm! Look, Chubby is pushing me!"Olivia quickly turned her attention to the kids. "Behave yourself this instant!" She yelled at them. The kids stopped pushing each other and giggled silently. "Quickly go inside the bus children!" Monica gestured them into the long bus. First it was the kids that went into the bus and each ran inside to choose a seat for themselves. Then Olivia followed along with Uncle Junior. "This is gonna be funnn!" Uncle Junior giggle

It was free entry for all to enter the gallery, the Johnsons strolled into the reception of the building excitedly yet gracefully. As soon as they walked in they knew that they had stepped into another world— a world of beauty. The air felt different and the environment was welcoming! "Before we go in, we need to switch off our phones or put it on silent, so as not distract the others!" Amelia advised her family with a hushed tone. "Oh yeah!" Viola replied, others nodded. Immediately they brought out their phones and switched them off. "Hello! Welcome to Rye Art Gallery. My name is Lila, I'll be your docent or your guide for today". A lady stood in front of them with a smile. "This way please!" She gestured them in. It was a tall lady dressed in official clothes— she was a little chubby, her hair was all rolled up into a well rounded bun, she wore a white shortsleeved shirt on blue high waisted trousers, her legs were perfectly balanced inside a pair of black heels. She wasn't a

"I had sooo much fun today!" "Yeah me too!" "Mum? When are we going for ice cream again?!" "Soon very soon!" "The best part was the gallery, I learnt a lot!" "I know right!"Everyone chatted nosily about their experiences today. "Whooo! Today was a rush! Thanks guys for making my day!" Joe exclaimed.They all laughed. "I'm exhausted, I'll go ahead to bed, goodnight everyone". William announced and waved at the others in the large hall. "Goodnight Mum!" He kissed his mum softly on the cheek. "Night son!" "Mum! Look at the moon, it's red!" Isabella exclaimed. "How can it be red? there's no such thing dear!", Olivia replied her without a care. She walked away into the dinning room. "No look it's really red!" Joe called everyone's attention to the window.They all moved to the window and looked up, only to see a big red moon! "Why the hell does it have that colour?!" Uncle Junior asked.Their eyes were fixed on the strange moon that was shining brightly outside.They stared at

"William, let's take her up to the room and lay her on the bed!" Amelia said with a panicky voice. "Yeah!" William responded with a sniff. He raised Olivia from the smooth floor and carried her in his arms. "She's still out cold!" Monica whispered. "Come on, come on kids! Let's get you upstairs to your rooms!" Grandpa guided the kids up the stairs.They followed behind William and Grandpa walked behind the kids. "There must be some way out of this!" Joe exclaimed with concern in his voice. "Hey! We'll get through this ok? All of us!" Viola encouraged her family and hugged Joe. "Why don't we go join them upstairs?" Uncle Millie suggested. "Yeah let's go!" They agreed.One by one, two by two they climbed up the stairs and soon the large hall was empty. They continued their journey through a long passage with dim lights, the passage led to each of their rooms— each room had a red door and Olivia's room was at the end of the passage. There were candelabras on both sides of the wal

Joe ran along a dark alley in the late hours of the night, he panted for breath and his whole body shook with fear, "Please don't hurt me! Please!!!" Joe woke up from a nightmare with a scream. His eyes opened up at once and his heart was beating a million times faster, he swallowed dryly. He looked around to confirm his surroundings, he realized he had been dreaming when he found himself lying on the hard brown floor and the scene was nothing like the one in his nightmare. The nightmare began to appear like flashes in his memory, he could remember being pursed by a strange creature that almost resembled a man, and the strange figure wanted to kill him! Joe shook his head and blinked his eyes over and over again to make him forget the nightmare, then he realized a difference in the passage. Alas! "Wake up everyone! Wake up!" Joe began to shake them slightly to wake them up. "Hey the doors are back, look!" He stood up at once and ran to the kids door. He waited and looked behind

They were all seated in the living room that morning, they could see from the windows that the weather was dull and wet but there was a little ray of sunshine in the clouds. The night before was hell for the family, they had experienced something they'd never even dreamt about. They had lost a family member; and though he was old, he didn't die a peaceful death and this pained Amelia greatly, she had always wanted that for her Father. Well at least he got to live a peaceful life, and he saw his grandkids which he had come to love very much. William was so worried about how he would get his family out of this nightmare, at this time he wished he was hallucinating; unfortunately, he wasn't! This was as real as it could be and everyone knew it! "I can recall your father telling me about his past a few times, he had lovely memories that he was greatly fond of and whenever he told the stories, he always had a smile on his face. But there was just one story he would tell with all seriousn

The Johnsons fell asleep in the living room, fear had made them unable to sleep in their rooms. Each one found a place in the room to sleep on. For sure it wouldn't be anything like the comfort and softness of their beds, but it was sure better than being alone in their rooms with thoughts of a ghost in the house. They woke up the next morning with pains all over their body. The kids were already up playing around in the large hall. The air felt different today, there was a good sense of feeling all around the house. It seemed like the fear was gone. The ones who woke up first, woke the others with a tap.Awwwww! They yawned with mouths wide open and bad breaths. "I'm soooo hungry!" Viola complained first. "Me too!" "Olivia, Viola, we have got to fix us some breakfast. We can't let this— ghost thing keep us from eating, let's go!" Amelia scolded the other women. "I guess you're right!” "Come on!"The three women stood and began to walk to the large hall; the others in the room
