Tell The Raven Archives

I was in a maze. Suddenly, I was in the middle of the maze. Their was these ghosts, some of them didn't have faces. They were screaming a lot. I screamed when one touched me. Then I woke up in my room. It was 2 in the morning. I was thinking I could've woken up my mom. But she didn't wake up.

In the morning I was really tired. I nearly went to sleep in science class, I was mumbling words while sleeping, until my teacher woke me up. My friends chuckled, everybody else laughed. It was so embarrassing. At gym I got hit too many times by the dodgeball because I took too many short naps. This was my worst day ever.

When I went home I did my assignment on Shakespeare history. After dinner I brushed my teeth. While doing that I saw something behind me in the mirror. I looked back behind me. Nothing was there. Then it was beside me. The ghost was so bloody he had no head. I almost screamed, but I couldn't. My mouth wasn't cooperating. My body wasn't either.

When the ghost was gone my body suddenly relaxed. I thought that ghost was just a illusion. When I went to bed, I saw the ghost again. It was saying "Look in the maze or vanish forever!" Its hand lifted and pointed to me, the ghost came to me. They were coming closer. I couldn't move because something was pulling me down into the ground. When I was under the dirt I saw a dead person next to me. It turned its head around and said "Go to the middle of the maze." It said it groaning. I woke up in bed again, I thought it was a sign. But I didn't want to.

In the morning on Saturday my spirit just made my body go to the maze. I wanted to stop, but I couldn't. It was like I was a magnet. I got to dead ends and saw people. They looked kind of friendly. But when I looked at them too long they turned ugly, and uglier, and made a cold face, and started to rot. It gave me the chills. But I still continued. When I went to the middle of the maze the ghosts in my dream appeared, and the one that appeared in the bathroom. My nightmare came true! Then the ghosts said "Find us! Find our bodies!"

So I went back home and looked for a shovel, "What are you doing?" said my mom.

"I'm just going to go the old maze," said I.

"Then what are you doing with that shovel?" said mom again.

"I'm going to take the weeds out."

"Okay, but don't take long."

I went to the maze again and went to the middle of it. I was thinking wherever I go I should dig, even in the dead ends. When I dug up the first body, it had no hands feet or head. It was very rotten and stinky. I tried not to look at it too much or else I could of vomited. Then I was thinking where do I put it.

The ghost appeared again. "Dig in the earth, and find the gateway," the ghost said.

Then he disappeared. I was confused. What gateway was he talking about? The gateway to heaven? Then I thought that maybe in the middle of this maze that the gateway will be here. I made a choice to do it so the ghosts stop interrupting my dreams or don't do to it and the ghosts keep bothering for my whole life! I chose to do it.

So I started and when it was about 30 minutes I felt something touch the shovel. It was glowing like a ghost. I dug it out and I saw the gateway the ghost was talking about. It looked weird in a way.

Then all the ghosts appeared and had very cheerful faces. Some had gloomy faces because they still had lost something in their life, but they still made a little smile. Some stayed at the maze 'cause something precious to them was lost. The one who was in the bathroom thanked me for everything.

Then a swing appeared with a statue of a girl going to the swing. She looked cheerful and happy. Sometimes her face changed when the weather changed, and sometimes I see her on the swing on sunny days. It was really weird. I thought a ghost was possessing it.
