Creative Writing: Haunted Halloween Night

One Halloween night in Salt Lake City, Utah, a group of fifteen-year-olds were discussing their plans for their mischievious and haunted Halloween night. Five miles away from the Dillon household, there is an abandoned, wore-down, and supposedly possessed hospital. The town mayor, Mayor Jessica Laughlin, has forbid any town citizen to set foot in in the Salt Lake City Memorial Hospital. Why is it forbidden? Well, five years ago on Halloween night, at exactly midnight, everyone in the hospital disappeared, and the cadavers were never found, but the souls of the psych ward still roam the hospital.

Lot's of questions went around the Dillon household when Brett and Hailey Dillon announced that they'd be sneaking into the "Haunted
"Look Caroline, we're going, with or without you. If you want to stay home and do nothing, go right ahead, I'm not going to stop you. It's your choice, Caroline."

"Too bad, you were well aware of what you were getting into before we even opened the doors. If you're having second thoughts, tough it out, breathe, cry, laugh, I really don't care, just do what you need to do to make it through the night." stated Caroline.

"Anyone else think that it's a little funny how Caroline was terrified about the idea of this before we left the house, but now that we're here, she's the only one that can stay calm and collected under pressure?" asked Joshua.

The group then headed up to the third floor to pick their bedrooms.

The third floor was gloomy. There was a faint smell of death and blood throughout the first and second floor, but it was much, much worse upon the third level. The slight breeze would occasionally cause the doors to swing
