When I was about 16 years old, me and my brother were sent to a summer camp by my parents. I was looking forward to it, considering I barely had any friends back at home. We took the bus to "Camp Miniwanca." As a stupid teen, I thought the name was funny. It kind of sounded like "mini wanker." We finally arrived after 5 hours of agony. At my first look at it, I thought it was a nice place. The camp leaders told us to unpack our bags into our assigned cabins. There were ten cabins for each gender. Lucky for us, we were the cabin closest to this cool cave. This was cabin ten. Me and my brother were planning to go and explore it when everyone was asleep. Apparently one of these weirdos at the camp overheard us and he wanted to join us. I didn't wanna be rude and say no so I let him on with the plan. After discussing with him, it was around dinnertime. We arrived at the camp somewhere after 4:00 PM so I was expecting dinner soon anyway. What we were served was the most disgusting food in the world. Fish and chips. I almost threw up when I smelled the foul odor. When I sat down to eat, we sat at the table with fewer people. I am an antisocial person so I only like to talk to the people I know. I did not finish my food at acted like I ate a lot by scraping the food to the side leaving a big space visible. What I hated the most is that you could not leave the cafeteria until the leaders told you could. Thirty minutes later and we were allowed to do whatever we wanted. There were people playing soccer out on the field. The grass was so soggy, as it rained yesterday. I took a hard pass and moved on to ping pong. Ping pong was on the asphalt floor next to the grass. Me and my brother were playing, going at it for two hours. We had so much fun that it felt like barely anytime when we were told to go to our cabins. This is usually the last part of the day. We would stay in our cabin for the rest of the night and do nothing. If you brought something like a phone, they would confiscate it. Four hours later and it was 11:30 PM. We knew what we were gonna do. We met up with the weird kid, who snook out sly as a fox. We were surprised at how he did it. After all that, we started to approach the cave. At first sight, It looked like the caves you would see in the movies. Dark, with many tunnels, nowhere to hide if there was a predator. We went inside and the weird kid pulled out his shakeup flashlight. Keep in mind that this was a while back so flashlights were not so bright and modern as they are now. We were going in a straight path when all of a sudden we heard whimpering. It sounded like a stoned old man. We kept moving forward, hoping that the sound would fade away. It didn't. In fact, it kept getting louder and louder until we finally saw who it was. It was indeed an old man, wearing a ripped Beatles shirt and ripped pants. His pupils were faded as if he had glass eyes. His arms and legs looked like they were decomposed and bone was visible. We tried to walk around him but he purposedly blocked our way. What did he want? I tried talking to him. "Hello? Do you need help, sir?" He looked up at me as if I gave him the middle finger. What he did next was the most horrid thing that happened in my life. He pulled a knife out of his sock, that was slightly sticking out before. He gave me a sullen look and started running after me and the other two. We were running and while we were running, we heard the screams of the old man behind us. My brother had enough balls to say "get away you demented freak!" The old man suddenly stopped screaming but then started yelling something at us instead. What he said was frightening and questionable. He was yelling "Mox! Mox! Mox!" I knew automatically what it meant. It meant "soon." I took Latin for a while so I was quite experienced. Me, my brother and the kid found a corner and hid behind it. The man flew right past us. I was thinking as I caught my breath. What was soon? Was it our death? I told them what he was yelling and they were shocked. Once we saw it was clear, we quickly ran out of the cave. The camp leaders apparently heard us when we entered the cave before. When we came out of the cave, the man was caught. The camp leader told us that it was a homeless person that did not have a home. Apparently he was a criminal as well. We were in a lot of trouble and was put on cabin cleanup for the rest of the week. We had to clean up the whole camp. A few weeks later, we finally left the camp. Me and my brother packed our bags and got driven home by the same bus. It was good that the guy was arrested as soon as the leaders caught him. Who knows what would have happened if we didn't lose the man.]]> 2020-03-12 00:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/weeping/historiarum/wish/458802984 weeping https://padlet.com/weeping/historiarum/wish/459296969 (Narration by Nightcrawl)

When I was 7 years old, me and my Mom moved into a hotel. This hotel is closed now, you can't access it anywhere anymore. We got kicked out of our old house because my Mom did not pay the bills for it. Anyways, we went to the receptionist and we booked into a room. We moved into Room 12. I wasn't too thrilled by the room. I saw hair on one of the beds, I also saw a white stain on the black wall. Why were there black walls in this hotel? So we unpacked our stuff and my Mom went into the shower right away. I was sitting on the floor, not sitting on that disgusting bed. I was hoping that my Mom was going to come out of the shower soon because, for some reason, I didn't feel safe alone. As soon as I was thinking that, I heard knocking on the door. I looked through the peephole hoping to find room service at my door. Who was at my door was frightening. I saw a tall man, about 6' foot tall. He was whispering at me, saying "Let me in. Let me in. Let me in." What did he want? There was no way in hell that I was going to let him in. He started saying it louder, and LOUDER. "LET ME IN. LET ME IN. LET ME IN." Apparently my mom came out of the shower a couple of minutes ago because she scared me when she touched my shoulders. I told my Mom to look through the peephole and she did. She saw the same man, banging on the door now, chanting the same thing. "LET ME IN. LET ME IN. LET ME IN." This hotel must be very old because after him kicking 5 times on the door, it opened. We saw him fully now. He was wearing a worn-out trench coat and was wearing sweatpants. I could tell he had a knife in his pocket because I could see the outline. We jolted into the bathroom as if he hadn't seen us sneak in there. He was trying to find us. How did he not know where we went? I was glad he didn't know because it would be easier to gather my thoughts. I took my phone out of my pocket and was checking my Facebook when I came across this news article talking about this man on the loose. He was in his late 40's and was a pedophile. I was scared because when I saw the picture of him, it looked exactly like the person, OUTSIDE MY DOOR. We heard banging on the bathroom door. He wanted me, and only me. I decided to kick open the door. It shot him backward, as he wasn't expecting it. We quickly ran out of our room door and went into the lobby, calling the police. Twenty minutes later we heard sirens. We ran out of the door and we met up with the police. We told them there was a wanted man in our room, trying to find us. They searched the whole hotel and they didn't find him. Where did he go? How did he escape? All I know is that I never want to go to that hotel ever again. Who knows what would have happened if we didn't kick the door open.]]> 2020-03-12 16:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/weeping/historiarum/wish/459296969 weeping https://padlet.com/weeping/historiarum/wish/459595050 Chat here to share short stories and to talk with your friends, or even make new ones!
