Lilith Miller
As she crept towards the house, she heard noises coming from underground. The noises grew louder as she came closer towards the house. They sounded like screaming and crying children. She was only ten but her older sister had dared her to come here. It was said that this house was haunted. The man who lived here was old and ate children. The girls was very frightened by the house and felt as if the old man was going to consume her for dinner. The only reason she was doing the dare was because she would get $10 and an added $30 if she came here at night. She saw a patch of grass that was lime green. She found she could lift it – it rose as if it was a door, a secret hidden door to reveal a small concrete chamber underground. There were many children below the age of 7. They looked famished – she could see their ribs and stomachs caved in. Most of the boys were only wearing underwear. They all looked up at her with beady eyes. She wasn’t sure how long they had been there but they were anorexic. No children that age should be that thin. She ran home to tell her sister. No one will ever know how those children go there because the house was empty and they were too young to remember what happened.
