“Alright girls, lights out.”
Megan’s mother closed the door behind her, and the girls began planning their final game for the night.
“Hide and Seek!”
“Bloody Mary!”
“There’s no mirrors here. Don’t you have a Ouija board, Megan?”
Megan jumped to the closet door with excitement, then hesitated. Sherry eyed her suspiciously, stood to her feet, swung the door open- and screamed. An avalanche of clothes exploded from the closet. They all laughed as Megan began stuffing everything back.
“What’s this?”
Sherry pulled a thin black book from the pile.
“The Knocking Game?”
Its few pages were worn; only a few words written.
“Must be my brother’s?” said Megan, as Sherry began to read.
“Turn the lights off.”
Megan switched off the lights and sat beside the girls. Sherry pulled out her phone to see.
“Shout, ‘We have a visitor!”, so they did.
“Be silent. If you hear knocking, either answer the door or lock it, but don’t let IT open the door.”
The girls looked at each other, then the bedroom door. Shuffling from a sleeping bag broke the tension, then a voice whispered,
“What’s next?”
Sherry aimed the light back at the book and whispered,
“It says- no, that can’t be right.”
Knock… Knock…
The girls screamed and the bedroom door burst open.
“WHAT!?”, exclaimed Megan’s mother.
Their screams turned to laughter and Megan’s mom flicked off the lights and closed the bedroom door. The girls began to settle- when the closet door shook violently.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
