Albion
It was another chilly day in October. On my way to school, I got a text from one of my friends.
It said, “Hey, bro.You down to go to Albion with me and two other girls?”
I had nothing planned, so I replied, “Sure. I'm down.”
Once I got to school, we talked about the trip to Albion, and I asked the friend I was going with, “What time are we heading out to Albion?”
He replied, “3:40ish. We are going to Twin to get some Dutch Bros and pizza, and after we get done with that we are going to my place and hanging out there until 8.”
I replied, “sounds good.” After school, I went home to get ready and took the things I was going to need. Minutes later, waiting for my friends to pick me up, I got the text I was waiting for.
It said, “Aye bro! We’re outside.”
I got in the car and my friend introduced me to the two other girls we were going with. A few hours later we finally were heading to Albion. I hadn't been there before, so I was a little scared, I’m not going to lie. Once we got there, we got out of the car and went to buy the tickets. After we got our tickets, we started to look around to see where we wanted to go first.
I said, “Let's go to the Clown House.”
They replied, “That sounds good.”
By the entrance, the worker asked us for our card so she could mark that we had been to Clown House. Once we entered, the smell of old wood hit us and the tiles were all broken. There were random openings in the walls, and I got a little concerned because it was suspicious that there would be openings in those places. I just ignored the opening and kept walking the route we were supposed to. Before I knew it, right behind me there was a clown. I tried to just ignore the clown, but I really couldn’t when the clown was right behind me screaming in my ears. I felt like my ears were about to bleed. I turned a corner and BOOM! Another freaking clown, standing around the corner. That clown looked scary I’m not going to lie. I wanted to run, but we couldn’t run because they would get us in trouble, so I just hurried through the whole thing. We got done with the Clown House and went to the next one.
The next place we went to wasn’t as bad, but it was still creepy. In a kichen, there was a girl cutting something; when we were walking past the girl started to scream. I honestly didn’t think it would be this creepy. The next house was the one that really got me. At the end of that house, there was a guy hiding in the bushes. Once we passed, he turned on a chainsaw and scared the living crap out of me. After we got done, we had one house left. It was haunted. Someone hung themselves there. I did not want anything to do with that house. I finally I decided to not be a wuss and go in the house. Once we got in, I got chills down my back.
Everything was a mess. There were broken walls, floors, doors, broken everything.
After that we left, and we went to go eat at a burger place. I ordered a burger and some chicken strips. The chicken strips were a nice golden color; every time I would bite into the chicken strips there was a nice crunch. I also got a pink lemonade. Once we got done eating, we all decided to go home. It was a long, exhausting day.
