THE MANSION HIDDEN IN FOREST – CHAPTER 01

In the middle of a deep forest, I, a 14-year-old, found an old, spooky mansion. The windows were broken, and the walls were covered with moss. I went inside. The floor craked loudly. There were some dusty pictures hanging in the walls. I felt that they were watching me.

I walked up the stairs. Faint whispers filled the hallway, like someone calling for help. I followed the whispers to a locked door. I used a rusty key to open it. In the room, everything was old, covered in cobwebs. 

In the middle, there was a mirror. It was dirty and had cracks. I looked at my reflection, but it smiled back at me, in a scary way. It whispered, “You shouldn’t be here.” 

Then, the room shook, and the mirror broke into pieces. I was surrounded by ghosts. They reached out for me and pulled me into the shattered mirror. Now, I am stuck with them, forever trapped in the spooky mansion.
