The Door in the Basement
I should have known it was a bad idea to open the door that was in my family's basement, but that didn't stop me. I don't know how it didn't, i hated it down there. It was so dark and always had a putrid smell, my family used it for storage and my brother threw parties down there when my parents weren't home. There wasn't many windows or lights, but i remember there being a large bookshelf down there. I didn't know why it was there, because the house originally belonged to my grandparents i guessed they put it down there. The reason being there was never books on it and i was there since i was little. My parents tried to move it once because they needed more space down there, even though it was very big, but, my grandparents never let them. SO, even with all this you might be thinking, "How stupid were you that you opened the door?".
I don't have an answer. When I opened the I was with my friends down there and we got bored and they moved the bookshelf, i was scared because we shouldn't have even been down there let alone moving the thing my parents wern't allowed to move. After, a lot of struggling and me trying to convince them not to move the bookshelf, the bookshelf was out of the way and it showed a door just a bit taller than me at the time so it was about 4 foot 10 inches , i was the shortest one out of all of us. After, after a while of us just staring at it one of my friends said what was on all of our minds, "lets open it".
We for some reason agreed, so because i was the shortest and could easily fit. I opened the door and it was so dark when i looked into the key hole of the old heavy oak door, and the smell coming from it made me almost vomit. I was scared and said that i can't open it because it was locked, then one of my friends handed me a skeleton key which went with the door. I put it in and turned it, and the door unlocked. I was terrified at this point so, i was trying to get out of the situation but, my friends handed me a face mask, a flashlight, and i took out my phone to record it so, they could see. I walked into the door and into a long hallway, as i walked the smell keep getting worse causing my eyes to water. After a walking what seemed like miles i found a pale humanoid thing curled up with it's back to me.
I thought it was dead but, then i say it breathing, at that point i wasn't scared, i was terrified. I started to walk backwards away from it and my foot stepped on something causing a loud crunch to ring out in the hallway, I looked down to see i had crushed a bird skull. I looked back at the thing and it was starting at me with it's foggy eyes. I also had bloody teeth and claws. I was beyond terrified, so i turn and ran as fast as i could, the thing behind me. After about to minutes i was back out the door my friends asking me what i saw, they didn't need to wait long to find out as the thing ran out tackling one of my friends and started eating him. Terrified we ran out locked the door and waited after about an hour we looked back into the basement, the door was closed and the bookshelf back to where it first was and the large glass sliding door in our basement was opened with bloody hand and foot prints leading out out to the fields around our house, and our friend was gone, not even his body was there just a puddle of blood. There wasn't a trail of blood leading out which meant it ate all of him down there. we couldn't stomach the idea of looking for it or my friend for the slight chance he could still be alive. So, we closed the door went back up stairs and locked the basement door.
I wish i could write more but, the thing was hunting us, and it thinks i let it out so, it is almost at my door so i just wanted to tell this story before it gets me.
GOODBYE
