One Hellish Day

"Zoey. I dare you to go into the Hickory High school alone Friday night." James dares me from across the fire.

Of course he does. because he can't just give me a normal dare and of course I have to choose dare. Stupid on my part.

"Really? Hickory?" I ask in a whatever kind of way.

"Yup! you have to go and explore while making a video." He says

"Um... You just said go there. Not film and explore." I say with a nervous laugh.

"while, I just added onto the dare." He says matter of factly.

Right, of course he did.

"Can you do that? I don't think you can do that." I counter in a quiet voice.

"Awwwww, do you not want to go? are you scared?" He says as he mimics a baby face and wipes at his eyes mockingly.

"No! I just don't know if I should....that's all. I could get arrested, you know."

"Oh, stop being a baby, Zoey."

At that point, I give up. it won't be that bad... right?

Friday

I turn on my phone and tell the camera what I'm going to do and I enter the old school. it's nighttime, and it's a full moon... Should I be scared?

"Hi! Zoey here...Um....So people say this place makes you do things... So here I am. trying to see if that's true. I was told to video. yeah. okay, let's go."

I walk up a flight of stairs and explore the first two levels of the school. nothing big to report. When I make it to the third floor, I feel light-headed....

"I...Im not feeling too great...." I say into the camera. "I don't know what -" I stop abruptly and turn around.

My phone powers off, and I whimper. Shit. Why did I do this? I swear I just heard a voice. why the fuck did I tell me parents I was going to Graces? Jesus. I'm going to die.....I.....I want to die.....

3rd person POV

Zoey looks frozen. Her eyes gloss over, and she stands motionless. A deep, low sob can be heard ripping from her troat. Zoey moves slowly to the left and up two more flights of stars, and then she looks down. Her face is contorted in fear and pain. Her eyes are bloodshot, and tears run down her face. She reaches up to her face and scratches at her eyes. Blood slowly seeps from her eyes, then she reaches down and grabs a nail from the floor. She plunges it into one eye, then the other and more sobs can be heard, then she tips over the railing and plummets to the ground below. Landing on top of nails, rocks, wood, and other building parts.

Thursday

"It's been six days since Zoey Gostter was last seen. Any information on her whereabouts would be appreciated......" The news reporters Voice slowly drips away as Zoeys Mom crys.

Monday

"This just in, Zoey Fostter was found. In the Hickory High School on 43rd Street. Her body was rotting, and her flesh pirced. Her eyes have been ripped out and stabbed with what looks to be nails. Her legs are broken at the knee and are both starched from the skin. You can see the bone. Nothing on Zoeys killer has been notified. Police have not ruled out suicide......"
