Haunted House
As I opened my eyes, I saw a house with vines all over it. It looked like as if it had been abandoned for a hundred years or more.
As I stared at it longer, I got more curious and decided to go inside. The huge black double doors had missing parts and the paint was peeling off, the door knob and hinges were rusty. I was reluctant to open it. After a short while, I decided to kick the door open. The door fell to the ground with a big thud and dust was everywhere. I had a look at the entryway while coughing. Cobwebs and spiders in almost every nook and cranny, rats scurrying across the floorboards. I walked further in and felt a crunch as I stepped on something. “A twig? How did that get in here?” I thought as I picked the thing up. It was a bone.
My eyes adjusted to the darkness as I panicked. The bone in my hand seemed to be a human hand. My eyes got used to the dark and I finally got a good look at the room. Bones, bones everywhere, human and animal alike. I felt a chill down my spine when a clawed finger made its way onto my shoulder. I turned around and there the creature was - the fabled myth, Medusa.
I made a mistake of looking into her eyes, thus, turning into a stone.
