Oh no.
I couldn’t find the ring! My lucky charm that was supposed to keep me safe!978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJpVFxsgDP
My favourite TV show was The Truth about Magic. All other shows about magic were fake. Everything in The Truth about Magic was real. The show said so. 978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEEGdtn7ju
Mum bought me the ring for my 6th birthday, because I’d begged her so so much. The show said that without the ring, bad things happened to you.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV85pRInmS
I knew it worked because Billy broke his arm at the jungle gym when he wasn’t wearing the ring. I’d never broken an arm before. And I also knew it worked because I hadn't seen a spider since my 6th birthday. I was petrified of spiders. I got bitten by one when I was five, back when I didn’t have a ring. 978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PTdoadePL
And I couldn’t find it. I’d searched everywhere.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf5j00cMMA
I slumped down into my pink office chair. I started to cry. I’ll be killed tonight, because I’m not wearing a ring!978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHIuuncb96
I heard a quiet noise behind me. 978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmCw2pa08f
I started crying more. A bad stranger just appeared in my room. He was going to kill me.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngrLEfGWoO
The show said that if you heard a noise behind you, someone was there. The show also said that if there’s someone behind you, you weren’t allowed to turn around and make eye contact with them. If you didn’t turn around for five minutes, they’d disappear.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssoJt0Zrv2
I was facing a wall, staring at a The Truth about Magic poster. I didn’t have a clock, so I started to count to 50. There were 50 seconds in a minute.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdolXPoero
That’s the last 50. I was really scared because maybe I counted too fast. But I really wanted the bad stranger to disappear.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NE7P13TPz
I slowly turned around in my chair. Disappear. Disappear.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZfdwYVggr
I screamed.978Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqFLY1kh3W
The spider didn’t disappear.
