“You know, I saw some pretty cool things back here if you wanna come check it out.” He tries, one hand extending out to you.
You’re reluctant, but it’s better than sitting on the steps alone.
Walking into the basement you can feel the temperature drop.
He’s walking much faster than you, and soon you release his hand.
But as you both go further, the light from his flashlight grows dim.
And soon, you can’t find him.
You call for him, but it falls on deaf ears.
That’s when you pull out your own phone.
And you flick on the flashlight.
just as you do that.
You find a body on the ground.
With a closer look,
You see it’s not just any body.
It’s michael.
Suddenly, it’s eerily quiet as you stand at the basement steps.
The lights of the basement now bright, as if someone flicked the switch.
And in full view is michael.
His body mangled and face down.
As if something chewed him up then spit him out there on the ground.
suddenly, you get a text from michael.
It’s a video.
Clicking play, you watch.
He leaves natalia, and even begins heading off before everyone else.
recording the entire experience.
“Alright lets check this out. We’ve got some old shit, some more old shit, some- whoa what is that?”
The camera turns from facing him to facing a glass case.
Within it dozens of carousel horses.
and in the mirror behind michael
you’re able to see a figure.
But he doesn’t seem to see it.
Rather, he’s cracking jokes about the little horses on display.
But suddenly, the figure grips him.
And the phone drops.
You can hear his screams through the recording,
before it finally stops.
You then can hear a body slowly dragging across the floor
then someone grabs the phone.
And carries it over his body.
You can hear Natalia’s voice.
Before the camera slowly turns to face her.
alone, speaking to herself.
It then pans over to Julia, who is walking down her aisle,
someone standing at the end dressed in a clown costume.
And lastly, kaden, who seems to be opening a door.
It then pans between the three of them,
documenting their various moments through the basement
before showing them all standing there above the body.
Now looking down at their phones,
watching the recording,
and a dark figure creeps up behind you
then rushes up the stairs.
slamming the basement door.
