My name is Jackson Hensworth!I'm 14!I live in a town called Borrow.My parents used to be friends with a guy named Bruce,who has recently died of cancer in a house at the edge of my hometown!He was a lonely man,no wife,no family,and no living relatives!But because the house he was living in was huge and expensive,he thought it would be a pity to leave such a property to nobody!So he offered the house to my parents as heritage!We were all there,near his bed when he passed away!He said some pretty weird things before his death,he said that he was haunted by a demon,and he said that the demon gave him the sickness!He also specified that he could have avoided that if he had known the "Truth".When we asked him what the truth was,he answered "God!".His lasts words were "May God have mercy on my cursed soul!".After that he passed away!It was pretty strange of him to say that,beacause,as far as we know,he was a convinced atheist all his life,just like us!We assumed that the sickness had consumed him,and he wasn't himself when he said all those words!
We started to move our things in sunny summer day at 12 o'clock and by 5 o'clock we managed to settle down!It wasn't much of a change,since we didn't move out of town or something.My school will be the same,almost everything will be the same,just inside a new frame.The house looked simple from the outside.Clean white walls,normal windows and red rooftop.But the inside,was beautiful!The entrance hall was huge,so we had the space needed to leave our clothes and shoes!In the front,there were the stairs that lead to the only upper level of the house.On the left side,there were the kitchen and the bathroom!The kitchen was modern,filled with all the kinds of machines I didn't even know existed!The table was placed in the middle of the kitchen,it was made out of glass and the chairs and light-yellow,wooden chairs!The bathroom was also spacious.It was shiny wite,it was clean,very luxurious!
The living room is my favourite!It had an extremly confortable sofa and a very diverse selection of books in a dark brown,wooden shelf.Bruce was very passioned of literature,and so am I!Poor man died very young,at the age of 30 years and that's really horrible!Anyway,the bookshelf was filled with tons of books from diffrent authors,from classic authors to contemporary ones!I was very happy to see that he had a complete colection of Stephen King novels!I am a huge fan of that author,and the fact that I had his novels on the shelf was an amazing thing for me!Upstairs,the main hallway was pretty wide!In the beginning,there were some pictures on the left and right side(9 in total)that were representing historcal figures such as:Napoleon,Alexander the first,King Ludovic and others!My parents's bedroom had a huge and very confortable bed,and a couple of pretty obscure pictures on the walls.There was a specific one that attracted my attention was one that was presenting a ladscape in the middle of which there was a house,which was strangely looking exactly like the one I was in right now.At the first sight,it seemed to be like a normal landscape,but at a more close sight I could see a creepy detail!In the back of that house,a forest could be seen!Right in front of it,hiding in the shadows,was sitting a black figure,with some sharp horns on the top of it's head and some small,red,shiny eyes.The thing that scared me was the fact that the house in the picture was looking exactly like mine,and that small detail really gave me a litlle to think!But in order to confort myself,I thought that it was just a coincidence!Little did I know back then!My bedroom was,unfortunately,Bruce's bedroom,and he died in it.It isn't the most pleasant place in which I could sleep!Don't get me wrong now,I'm not a fearful person,but the thing is that I read a lot of supernatural novels and paranormal stuff in general!I chose to believe in all those things I was reading about,and Bruce had a pretty unpleasnt death.Most of the times,the persons that turn into ghosts or demons are the ones that had a bad or tough life or those who have hirrible endings!The bed was small,perfect for only one person to sleep in and yellow walls!Unlike the other rooms of the house,my bedroom was pretty empty!
It took me like 30 minutes or so to explore the whole house!The only place that remained unexplored was the basemement!I was in my room when mom called me downstairs!My parents were going to leave for bussiness and I was going to have the house for myself for 1 full week!
