I was living with my father at the time,when he
received a phone call.
Father:(phone rings)Hello?Y es this is him.
I see,I’m sorry to hear that.Ok no
problem.I’ll be there shortly.(hang up
the phone)Pack some clothes T ony,my
great aunt is very ill and no one in the
family wants to take care of her.We are
going to stay at her house for a few days. Kid:Aunt?What aunt?I never knew you had
a great aunt!
Father:Well,the family doesn’t talk about her or
get near her,for that matter.
Kid:Why is that?
Father:Come on,we have to go.
B:So we arrived at this old house on the
outskirts of our town.There was almost
no one around and the house had an
eerie look to it.Once inside the house,
we walked to her room and I was sur-
prised to?nd my dad’s great aunt in a
wheelchair,yelling at someone,but we
were alone in the room.
Father:Hi,aunt Ursula!This is my son Tony.
Ursula:Why have you come?Why are you
here?Don’t you know it isn’t safe?My
time is near,he is coming for me.
Kid:Who is coming for you?
Ursula:The prince of darkness!The lord of
the underworld,the tempter,the old ser-
pent.
Father:Come on,aunt Ursula let’s lay you
down.Y ou need to get some rest.Tony,
help me lay her down.
B:That night,we slept in one of the12
rooms of that big old mansion.The trees
outside seemed to come alive and their
shadows formed ghoulish shapes on my
bed.All of a sudden,we heard scream-
ing.
Ursula:Ursula:(muf?ed distant screaming,kid
runs towards the sounds-her volume
increases)Ahhh!Get off me beast!I
won’t let you take me!Ahhh!
Kid:Dad!Dad!Something is attacking aunt
Ursula!
Ursula:Ursula:Take your claws off me!Go back
to the underworld you demon!I shall be
judged before you can take me! Father:The door is jammed!Stand back!(kicks
the door down)Aunt Ursula!Where are
you?
Kid:Over here!(heavy breathing fx)
B:And as we approached her,she was ly-
ing on the?oor,with her hands and feet
open like the Vitruvian Man,breathing
heavily with bloody marks and scratches
on her arms,legs and face.Remem-
ber how I mentioned that she was in a
wheel chair?My aunt had been para-
lyzed from the neck down for just over a
year.After this incident,strange things
would happen in the house and my aunt
would yell and scream,according to her,
warding off the evil that had come to get
her.As the days passed,she became
very weak and eventually was unable to
talk.My dad had to work during the day,
so I was left to care for her.When she
lost her voice and laid on her death bed,
I would hear her breathe,in and out. Ursula::(Breathing wheezing fx spaced out be-
tween inhale and exhale)
