pictures in the attic



Today was the day to clean out the new house before they could move in. We unfortunately were stuck with the attic the creepiest room in the entire house.  The stairs were jailed by a long dark hallway with a dark squeaky door at the start. We took a long deep breath and then opened the door. We would soon find out that was a complete mistake. We walked up the old broken steps until we reached the attic floor. At the top of the stairs there was a string to turn on the light and after turning the light on complete shock covered both of our faces. Pictures cover every crack and crevice possible in the floor. The pictures were so old that they were all faded and most of them were torn in one place or another.         We desperately wanted to get the job done so we started to pick up the photos and put them in plastic bags. But there was something that was not right about the pictures, something odd and abnormal. I luckily was not the only one who realized that there was something weird going on. My friend picked up one of the pictures that she had just put in her plastic bag and brought it over to me so that I could see it. As she was bringing it to me I could see in her face that she was frightened. After looking at the photograph for myself we quickly gathered up as many pictures as we could and ran down the stairs to get her parents.         We spread the photos across the floor in the dining room and then showed them what we found. They were pictures of dead people. Picture after picture was of a deceased person young and old. They were all of people who had died and there were so many of them that we couldn’t even count them all. After her parents saw the pictures they decided to talk to the person who was selling the house and see what was going on. So when we asked them about the pictures they explained to us that a long time ago people used to take pictures of deceased loved ones to remember them how they were.
