You Can't Escape!

by Steven Lee
'You looks tasty!', I whispered just beside Jack's ear.

'ohhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyy godddddddddddddd!' , Jack yelled and ran like lighting.

'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA' we all chuckled at Jack's reaction.

'Not funny at all !', Jack said while putting his arms up to his chest and gave us a mean looks.

'Okay, okay, let get back to business, we are here to make money!', Luke turned the conversation into a more serious way.

We reached the central of the building, we laid out the building's blueprint and split into group of two and started to moved to mark location to set up camera for the upcoming recording. Yep! we are doing it ! Filming our own paranormal lock down show, we might even name it 'Into the Haunted with Luke Hobbs', from the title I guess you noticed already, yep he is the host for this show, Luke Hobbs. But for now you must be curious why I'm here? Okay, I'm going to tell you a story about me, so please don't skip this part! Haha.

*STORY OF STANLEY*

My name is Stanley Wu, I'm 18 this year, I'm a part time writer, I enjoyed writing horror story. Months ago, I was surfing the net for info and inspiration for my upcoming story entitled 'You Can't Escape!' I know, I know , you probably will think of why I named the story before I did not even wrote it. I will shared my reason here, the title was to keep me restricted in what I'm writing and gave me chance to think it critically for the plot twist and did some wow effect for the reader, and also prevent me to lead the story off course. Back to the story, months ago, when I was surfing the net for inspiration, I found a websites with a title that captured mt attention, 'We Track Ghosts', it suited my writing content, it may helped me in writing a horror story, and yet they recently had set up a expedition into haunted places, you can call it lock down in haunted places if you want. Yep! I wanted that feeling, that goosebumps kind of feeling. I immediately signed up that day and they replied me and arranged for a group meeting the day after, that was the efficiency they have, wow! I showed up at the meeting and get to know 3 other guys, Luke and Jared, founders of 'We Track Ghosts' and Jack, a writer also. Luke and Jared told us their plan and they were glad that we wanted to join and will let us to grab their EMP detector and all sort of gadgets that enable us to communicate or detect ghosts. They already picked their location, it was the locked down St. Marina Mental Hospital. I heard that the hospital was forced to stop operating due to the doctors, nurses and patients in there kept on committing suicide. No one found out the reason that they killed themselves and yet we were going in, it sound so exciting! I can't wait for it. They told me I didn't have to prepare anything, the gadget leave it to them all we need to do was showed up on that day.

I showed up on that particular day at night time just as they requested, when I reached, I saw Jared, Luke and Jack waiting for me outside of the creepy looking hospital. They greeted with me and we went inside. As we reached the central of the building, we laid down the blueprint on a old dusty table. The hospital was shut down for over a decade. The place was filled with cobweb and the surrounding was dark and there were only silence accompany us. I ran behind Jack and whispered to him with a spooky tones and we managed to scare him off, I think he was piss at me after that. Luke stopped us and told us we had to get to our filming point. He took us to point A which was the massive suicide happened and Jared set up all cameras at all the corner and I'm left there sitting in the dark gathering energy and kept on trying to communicate with spirits or ghosts. It was dark and chill in there. I pulled out the questions I wrote for this expedition, and asking by speaking out politely and the following were the questions:

Anyone here?

Can you hear me ?

I want to write a story, can you help me?

If you are here what your name?

After asking all the questions and a moment of silence and I heard a loud scream from next door. It was Jack's voice, I ran to his room and he went missing, I was in shocked and I kept yelling his name, and a moment later Jared and Luke showed up, Jared immediately inspect the cameras and found that all four of them were broken, I know that things were getting wrong and I ran for the exit, Jared and Luke tried to stop me but I'm too afraid to stay in here. It's too extreme for me.

As I approached the entrance of the hospital, I tried to open the door but It just won't work......At the exact moment, someone whispered behind me, ' Hi, Stanley', I turned around and saw a little girl behind me with her head twisted. My legs gave up and letting me slide onto the ground watching her. She grinned to me and said ' My name is Mary and I can help you finished your story!'

*STORY OF JARED*

My name is Jared Hopkins, I'm 24, I'm a conspiracy theorist and I worked with Luke for 2 years now, we were both enjoyed exploring the creepiest place and wrote it down on Internet, we commonly visit the places with history that massive killing happened. By the way, our web name is 'We Track Ghosts', we have millions of subcribers and Luke recently came up an idea that instead of writing about it, how about we record it for our audience. I think that was a great Idea and Luke have my full support. Luke found out that we need helps for carrying the gadget like recording cameras, EMP detectors and all sort of fancy gadgets we bought. And there we posted a recruitment into our team, the response was way faster than what we expected, two horror story writers contacted us and wanted to join with us. I arranged a meeting with them the next day after they signed up. Luke and I met with them in a coffee shop, they are nice guys, one of them is Stanley and another is Jack. They were quite cooperate person, the agree with what we about to do. Luke explained the plan to them as all the plan was planned by him. Our location was St. Marina Mental Hospital and we were scheduled to reach there at midnight. When I arrived Luke was there waiting for us, he always the early one, Jack reached the third and followed by Stanley. We went into the hospital and set up our base at the central of the hospital, we sent Jack and Stanley into separate rooms which rumours has it that there was the massive suicide conducting ground, they wanted to feel the environment for their stories then we just full-filled their wishes. They indeed were professional just like Luke. After setting up all the cameras, we left them and start the hosting of the show. As Luke was introducing about the place we were in and we heard Jack scream, Luke looks at me with no fear and told me that we should go there. As the journey we traveled to Jack's room, we could also heard Stanley screaming Jack's name. We reached his room, and I immediately checked the cameras, and shocking all four of them were broke, Stanley went into mental breakdown and started to escape the building as we cannot convinced him to stay calm. Luke told me to look for Stanley and he will tried to locate Jack.

I proceeded my way towards the entrance as that was the only way into the hospital and I found Stanley lying on the ground in front of the entrance. I moved towards him and tried to woke him up. He looks at me with a pairs of completely black eye balls and whispered to me ' Hi Jared! I'm going to kill you , hahaha', he grabbed me by the throat, I knew this was not Stanley anymore and I kicked him away and ran out of the hospital. I took a deep breath after I rushed out, but my shoulder were getting heavier, as I turned around a little girl was sitting on my shoulder, she smiled at me and said ' You know you can't escape, right?'

*STORY OF JACK*

My name is Jack Snyder, I'm an author, when it came to author, you can either be very successful or else you're damn poor. And I'm the one that was damn poor, I noticed that recently most of the readers enjoy reading horror story and I started to search for materials for my story. I found a website named ' We Track Ghosts' with millions of subcribers, if I manage to get those subcribers to read my books then I will be rich soon! I contact the founder of the website - Luke Hobbs and he was willing to meet with me for the negotiation for getting into their show and helping promote my story. Luke was clever and cunning, he demanded for 30% of my profit for the books, and I had to join him on his expedition to the haunted place. He told me he didn't believed the presence of ghosts. But ghosts make him money so he will do it. After an hours, we agree with both of our terms and condition. Luke promised me that if I agree to join them on their expedition and pretend that there were ghosts there and dramatized the situation and the 30% profit from the books and he would helped me promote my book on his website. Yes, I know, he can earn a lot form me, but that's the only chance I got. By the way, I just need to do some stupid acting. Later that day, I met up with Luke, Jared-Luke's partner and Stanley- part-time story writer. At least he was part time, he still got a full time job and what I got ? Never mind after this, I will be famous and rich. I just need to pull myself together.

After that day, I went to St. Marina Mental Hospital at midnight, Luke and Jared were already there. Stanley came a moment after I reached. We moved into the hospital according to the plan. Stanley and I was placed in a separated rooms after the cameras was set up. Luke and Jared went for the introduction at the central rooms. Any moment now, I had to scream in order to be the best author, my dream will become reality soon. As I tried to scream, I saw a medical report on the ground. I picked it up and dust of the dust and I opened the report, the report was detailed as the following:

Name: Mary Jane Quin

Age : 12

Sex : Female

and the rest was all kind of psychology stuff that I didn't learn before. Suddenly, a voice came from my back, 'What are you looking at? Oh.....seem like you already found me hehehehe, nice to meet you.' I turned around and I saw Mary......she looks exactly the same with the picture attached with on the folder except one of her eye fell out...... I yelled and ran out of the room and hid underneath the table in another room. Silence creep me out for about 1 minute and then i heard Stanley yelling my name but my body went numb and I can't move or scream. And I just stay there.........

A light shone into the room that I stayed in, Luke came in and I rushed over to hugged him, he kicked me away and kept on swearing at me that I broke all the cameras and that was too dramatic for what we agree for. I told him we were doomed, we were not alone, and he just simply laughed at me stated that I'm ridiculous and I might get an Oscar for this and then we heard a door slamming sound. Luke left me and went to checked for Jared. I tried to follow him but I felt something dragging me back, as I turned around, MARY WAS THERE........

*STORY OF LUKE*

My name is Luke Hobbs, I want to be rich, I dream to be rich, and I'm not rich yet! I own a website that proven ghosts exist which I knew they didn't after a 100 visits to all kind of listed haunted places, there were nothing, all you need to do was post something blurry and faked some story then there will be millions of stupid peoples believed in you. The dumb website had generate me an income around $100,000 per year. But after deducted the cost of web designing, anti-virus and all sort of technically and non-technically stuff, the income dropped till around $10,000 per year. In order to get myself richer, I had to came up with an idea that can capture more attention.

It took me two day to came up with an idea that was flawless. It can bring me millions of dollars, all I need to do was buy a cutter and get a blueprint of a haunted place. I can't afford another authorized filming, that will costs me all my leftover. I went to city library to get the blueprint of a mental hospital and I posted the filming that I'm planning to the website and I got a lot of response and one of them named Jack reached and arrange a meeting to negotiate about me helping him to promote his books. I gave him my terms I will promote his book and he need to join my filming and try to act like that the hospital was haunted and 30% of his profit from the books. He accepted the offer. This conversation was kept secret from my associate - Jared and another idiot that joined us in this expedition named Stanley.

On that day, I reached the hospital the first and I cut the lock open and waited for their arrival. We moved in and set up the base after all of them reached. Stanley and Jack in separated room and we started our introduction while Jared filming me. The introduction almost finished but Jack not yet do his job like what we agree on. Suddenly, Jack scream as I almost ended my introduction, Jared and I rushed to his room, we also heard Stanley yelling for Jack, this get intense and more intense that help me boost my channel. After we arrive there was nothing there, just Stanley standing there. Jared checked on the cameras and found all of them was broken. Jack, you son of a b*tch, I'm going to kill you. At the same moment, Stanley went mental breakdown and ran away from us. I called Jared to track him down while I locate Jack.

I found Jack in a room hiding underneath a table, when I walked into the room he jumped and hugged me, I kicked him off and started swearing at him, and asked why did he broke the cameras, he went pale and said that we were doomed. What? The man should get an Oscar for this. ' Baaaaang' a door slamming sound from where Jared headed, I left Jack and went for Jared. Jack didn't followed me, I think that he might fear of my fist, yeah there the right choice!

I reached the central of the building and something dripped on my face and it was red..........

I looked upward and all of them were hanging up there........

'Your're next' she whispered behind me.............



Why you keep on scrolling....a promise was a promise I helped them finished their story and you also promise me that you won't skip my story..... So kind of you, but once you know about me, I had to kill you, remember how they die? All of them turned around........so promise me you won't turn around or else I'm going to kill you also. Remember , You Can't Escape.............

Sincerely,

Mary Jane Quin
