Tierra Mala
There’s always a house in every neighborhood that is out of place, the odd one out or as some may say unique. Well, in the little town of Frightensburg, California, in a strange neighborhood by the name of The Wallflower, there was one house that was peculiarly creepy and broken down. Around the house everyone called ‘Tierra Mala’, there was never sunlight, flowers didn’t grow and the sky was ALWAYS dark like a locked in a closet. ‘Tierra Mala’ didn’t always use to be this way, there was once a time where it was a place where events were celebrated and was a bright and welcoming place where everyone came to chat with each other. It was this way until the accident. An accident that would be remembered for years to come. One ordinary day, the

owner of the house went insane and killed 23 people that were in the house at that time. The next day, the owner was found dead in his bedroom. To this day, if you pass ‘Tierra Mala’, it’s said that you can still hear the spirits of all 23 people killed and the owner’s spirit still trapped in the house waiting for another victim to come and to become one of them for eternity! Since then, each of the relatives of the owner has to spend one whole night in the house.
This year, it was Charlie’s, a mysterious and courageous 13-year olds, turn, and like everyone else he wasn’t looking forward to spending a night in ‘Tierra Mala’. It was Charlie’s last day before he had to spend a night in ‘Tierra Mala’.
Everywhere he went and as much as he tried to think about something else all he could think about was spending a night in that awful, dark, and twisted house. Right now Charlie was at school. It was the last period of the day and only 1 minute left until he could talk to Tommy, Charlie’s best friend since he was 3 years old and unlike Charlie was shy but was always smiling. ‘Ringggggg’ The bell finally rang and Charlie rushed of to find Tommy at his locker. When he got to Tommy’s locker, Charlie found a note on it that read, ‘If you ever want to see your beloved friend again come to ‘Tierra Mala’ tonight at midnight and prepare to face the challenges that await you here.’ As soon as Charlie finished reading the letter, a look of agony and confusion aroused on his face. For several days, he hadn’t discussed ‘Tierra Mala’ with anyone else but Tommy, who had been abducted by someone. Charlie suddenly stashed the note in his backpack and ran home to start packing for Tommy’s escape. When he was running home, as fast as he could, Charlie thought he was seeing a small black figure, who disappeared as soon as he was seen, like a shadow, who made no large movements, and who got larger as Charlie ran faster. Suddenly, Charlie realized that he had finally reached his house and ran
inside.
“Charlie is that you?” Charlie’s mom asked.
“No mom, it’s totally not me. I’m just an alien from a foreign land come here to take over,” said Charlie as sarcastic as he could.
“ Ok alien man. So Charlie, how was school?” asked Charlie’s mom as she walked into the room Charlie was in.
“School was great mom. I have to go do...something,” Charlie said rapidly as he rushed up the stairs. When Charlie got upstairs, he quickly grabbed his camping backpack and started to fill it with things like, his secret stash of snacks, water, extra clothes, his phone, a flashlight, batteries, and a lighter. All that packing took him so long that the next time he looked at the clock it was already 11:30. Charlie quickly checked outside his room to see if his parents were asleep and as soon as he saw that they were, he tiptoed with great carefulness to the door. When Charlie got outside he ran to the bushes, where he stashed his brand new bike, and rode of to ‘Tierra Mala’. 15 minutes later Charlie was right outside ‘Tierra Mala’.
“ I guess this will be my night in ‘Tierra Mala’ and now I have another reason to stay. I have to find Tommy and still survive the night in this devil house. I can do this!” said Charlie realizing how stupid he looked talking to himself and at the same time walking towards the porch of ‘Tierra Mala’. When Charlie got to the front door of the house, he stood there, took a deep breath and opened the door releasing him into complete darkness. He pulled out his flashlight and turned it on to find an average looking house except for this one room which looked like there was someone inside. Charlie quickly ran over to the room and smashed it open, only to realize that there was nothing in there but a slip of paper much like the one he had found earlier that day. He slowly neared it and opened it. The note read, ‘ Hello again Charlie! My name is Mr. G and this is one of 2 clues that you will collect to find your beloved best friend, Tommy. This clue will surely be easy as Tommy here says that you’re great at navigating around places. First, find the room 117 inches west from this one. Once you reach that room, open the door and follow the passageway into the cave. When you’re into the cave about 4 ½ miles stop and you will find a small knob on the side of the cave. There you’ll find your final clue. Good Luck!’
“What is all of this supposed to mean?” said Charlie confused. Since he was desperate to find Tommy, Charlie decided to follow the directions on the note.
“Okay. So, the note said to first find the room that is 117 inches west from here… but, where’s west? I know!” Charlie said as he pulled out his phone, “ I can just find it on my phone! West in this way!” Charlie pointed out which way was west as if he were telling someone where to go and opened an application on his phone. “ And now to find which room is 117 inches away from this room. 1… 23… 67… 96… 116 and 117! Finally, here!” Charlie said sighing with relief. When Charlie saw the room, he opened the door, and stepped in as he was opening the note up again. As he started to read it, some kind of speaker system started to talk.
“ Hi Charlie! It’s Mr. G again. Great job finally finding the room but you still have a long way to go. Here’s a message from you friend Tommy,” Mr. G said as he put play on a recording of Tommy talking.
“ Charlie… Hurry up… He’s going to… kill me!” Tommy’s recording said very frightened.
“Good Luck, hope you hurry or I guess Tommy’s prediction will come true,” Mr. G said decisively.
“Oh no! He’s going to kill Tommy! I need to hurry! Ok, so now to go into the cave, yay?!” Charlie said sarcastically still having a touch of worriedness in his voice. Without thinking, Charlie opened the door, and started to walk through the passageway into the cave. After about 10 seconds of walking, Charlie got inside the cave. It was so spooky, so cold, so dark, and so quiet, that Charlie felt like he was dead.
“Ok, I can do this! I only have to walk… 4 ½ miles and find a door knob on the side of a cave. This is not at all weird or creepy,” Charlie said continuing his long journey to save Tommy. After walking for about 10 minutes and having about ½ a mile left, Charlie heard a scream that sounded similar to Tommy’s and started to run for the ½ mile he had left. When he finished running the ½ mile and found the doorknob he opened it and found the last clue. The clue read: ‘Great Job Charlie! Now think fast as people these days say and run to were you hear Tommy and save him before he’s burned alive!’
“Tommy only has a few minutes left. So, if you want to save him, you should do it fast,” Mr. G said. As soon as Charlie heard that his friend was being roasted alive, he started to run as if his life depended on it and got faster along the way.
“Help! Charlie help! I’m in the pit!” Tommy said worriedly. After running for what seemed forever, Charlie finally got to the pit and saw Tommy right about to be submerged in the hazardous goo that can burn you alive. Charlie looked around to see if he could find anything that could stop the cage that was holding Tommy and keep him from burning alive. As he looked around, he spotted a button and ran towards it and pushed it. Suddenly, the cage stopped and it started to rise up and it was placed on the ground right as the door of the cage opened. Tommy ran towards Charlie and gave him a big hug, which lasted seconds.
“We need to go NOW! Before Mr. G does something else to us! Let’s go, follow me!” Charlie said to Tommy as he started to run the way he had gone into ‘Tierra Mala’. They went through the passage, past the door knob, through the cave, out the door, out of the room and then out of the front door of the house and never looked back. The very next day, Charlie and Tommy went straight to the police and asked them to knock down the house. A few years later, when ‘Tierra Mala’ had already been knocked down for 8 years, a group of kids in another neighborhood, decided to wander into the creepy house in their neighborhood and the same thing happened again.
owner of the house went insane and killed 23 people that were in the house at that time. The next day, the owner was found dead in his bedroom. To this day, if you pass ‘Tierra Mala’, it’s said that you can still hear the spirits of all 23 people killed and the owner’s spirit still trapped in the house waiting for another victim to come and to become one of them for eternity!
