Kelbi Lewis Ms. Lehmann English 2-2A 4 October 2019 Albion 2018 It all started when I got invited to Albion. It was a Tuesday in 2018, and my sister Tory, came up to me. “We should go to Albion this weekend. You can invite Jade,” she said. “Yeah, that would be fun,” I responded back. The next day at school, I found Jade and said “Hey, Jade. Me and Tory are going to Albion this weekend if you want to come.” “That would be so fun. I would love to come,” she said. “Okay, good. I’ll text you more about it later when I found out what’s happing for sure,” I said. “Tory should invite Lexi so no one will feel like a third wheel,” Jade replied. “That’s a good idea,” I said. I went home and told Tory that Jade could come and to invite Lexi. She did, and I texted Jade telling her when we were going to go. It was finally the day we were all going to go to Albion. It felt like I had been waiting for this day for years. Me and Tory went and picked up Jade and went to Lexi’s house because she wanted to drive us up there. We were headed to Albion. it was already getting dark, so I was exited to go. I thought it would be fun. On the way there, we were talking about how much fun this would be. My heart was pounding. I just wanted to get there already. We finally arrived. We had to stand in line to get our tickets. It was already scary standing in line. You could hear people screaming and see people running. We got our tickets and walked into the main area. There were four houses you could go in. The Clown House, The Creature House, The Haunted House, and The Suicide House. We couldn’t decide which house we wanted to go in first. It took us 10 minutes to decide. We finally decided to go in the Creature House first. We walked in and there were people dressed up in scary looking costumes. We walking in one room, and it was foggy because they had a fog machine, it was still scary and kind of hard to breathe. There were a couple of trees in the middle that we had to walk around. Jade and I were in the back, we were walking around the tree. All of a sudden a girl popped out. I don’t even know what she was dressed up like, but I screamed. Jade screamed and fell to the floor. After I got done screaming, I opened my eyes and saw Jade on the floor. I started laughing, and she started laughing and got up. We proceeded to walk and laugh. We got scared and screamed and few more times, but eventually we got out of that house. We were in line for the Clown House, and all of a sudden I felt someone breathe down my neck. I turned around and there was a clown right behind me. The clown screamed, then turned the chainsaw on. I screamed and took off running. All I could smell was smoke, and I could only hear the chainsaw. I was freaking out. I didn’t know what to do when I was running, so I went and locked myself in one of the bathrooms. The clown was making the bathroom shake. I was getting more scared every second. A few minutes later, it was silent. I couldn’t hear the chainsaw, and then I heard Jade knock on the bathroom door. She said, “you can come out now. He is gone.” I went out, and he was gone. We went through all the houses and when we where done we went out to eat and we talked about how fun it was. To this day, we still talk about it and laugh about it. I learned not to run because they will actually chase you. If you don’t run they won’t chase you.
