Alter Horror Story

"Have I ever told you about humans?" said a ghost in pale white cloth. His name was Ersam. In front of him there were several other ghosts gathered around a campfire, all in the same cloth as him but each of them had different faces. Some were round and thin, others were of average build.

"Human beings can be strange sometimes. I've seen humans who want to be scared on purpose."

"How?" asked one ghost.

"By watching horror movies! Moving pictures that features ghosts like us, but the movie's only purpose is to scare them." Ersam said. "But some humans seem to be enjoyed being scared, even if they see one of their own be attacked by the ghost or in some cases, monsters."

"Where did the monsters come from?" a female ghost with long hair which covered her face.

"That's the thing, they were created by the humans." Ersam said 'humans' in a grim tone whilst shuddering. The other ghosts looked at Ersam in shock. But why would the humans do that? Another ghost asked.

"We should not ask why they create the monsters. Rather we should ask how they did it. Humans seem so natural. They're not like ghosts by any means! What possesses them to create such hideous and sometimes disgusting monsters? For the sake of being scared on a big screen?"

"Have you ever encountered a human Ersam?"

"I have, and it wasn't a pleasant experience." Ersam said. "I wanted to scare a young man who just so happen to be by himself in his room. I wanted to see if he would be terrified by my presence just like how a human would when they see a horror movie. But I was wrong. Not only could he see me but he attacked me as well!"

"He did!?" the ghost asked in unison.

"The young man grabbed me by the throat." Ersam said. "I don't know how but his grip was strong as I began to choke. He had that look in his eyes. A look of no emotion nor any regard for his safety. I didn't die of course seeing how I escaped and I'm here telling you this story."

"Humans are terrifying." said the long haired female ghost

"So terrifying that if we ghosts didn't exist, they could scare themselves easily." said the ghost next to her.

"I have a question." asked a smaller ghost. A child wearing white cloth like everybody else. "If a human dies, they become a ghost right?"

"Yeah…" Ersam said in a confusing tone. "Where are you going with this?"

"If ghost dies, do they become a ghost-ghost or something else completely?"

Silence filled the void of the ghosts. The only noise was the sound of Ersam and the other ghosts bringing their hands to their face, looking down.
