I

It's cold, extremely cold... That's why I am standing in front of the cursed house hoping for the best.

Maybe it really isn't cursed, it could just be a lie.

That's it, all a lie...

Standing here now, I see nothing wrong with it.

It will be a nice warm place to lay my head tonight.

If I wasn't homeless I'd live here, it's just that nice.

Maybe once I get on my feet I can get it...

I knock on the door and it opens slightly, that seems a bit strange to me but the most that is in here is a small ghost.

No curse.

No such thing.

I walk in and walk around until I find a bedroom and let out a sigh of relief.

I finally get to sleep in a bed...

This maybe illegal but nobody comes in here anyways, all because of that lie.

Once I get in the bed and cover up I fall instantly asleep.

...

*Hickory dickory dock.*

I wake up abruptly to a child voice singing.

I sit up and get out the bed to find the source of the noise.

It's repeating itself.

It sounds like it is coming from everywhere.

It's in my head.

I need to get it out.

Get out. Get out. Get out.

"Get out of my head!" I scream out loud.

"Mister?" Someone says from behind me.

That voice, it's the kid.

I quickly turn around to find him standing in the doorway.

"You shouldn't have came here Mister, you should have stayed away."

He takes a step closer to me.

*The mouse ran up the clock.*

He grins at me and looks me up and down.

"You look tasty." He takes another step.

"E-excuse me?" I step back away from him.

*The clock struck one.*

"You know, you should have stayed away... YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED!"

He starts walking to me and I start walking backwards until I get backed against the wall.

He then stopped a few feet away.

"It wasn't a lie." He then giggles at me.

I take my eyes off of him for a second to look for an escape route.

*The mouse then lunged.*

A hand grabs my ankle and starts pulling me under the bed.

No, I won't die like this... I need to fight back.

"HELP! HELP ME! PLEASE, NO! H-HELP ME!"

I start kicking but it doesn't help...

The last thing I see is the little kid turning into a bloody demon before I get dragged under the bed.

*Hickory dickory dock.*
