It was the seventh second, of the seventh minute, of the seventh hour, of the seventh day, of the seventh month, oh you get it there is lots of sevens. It all started when me and my family went on holiday to Miami in this spooky room in this spooky hotel. I’ve got to stop doing that. I’ll start from the beginning.
My family went on holiday and one night I heard knocking on my door. There was no one there only a sealed envolope containg a letter. I picked it up and slammed the door muttering under my breath. I lay down and read “He is coming, he is at the airport, Beware!” I left thinking it was just another prank by my brother.
The next morning the letter was gone and a video in its place, I played it. There was a dark tall figure wearing a black hood covering his face. He said “He is now outside the hotel.” When I returned from a day out shopping the video tape was gone and a hologram in its place, it was the same figure, he said “He is outside your door.” I started to panic. When suddenly there was a knock on the door I opened it and there was a lady dressed in black. I started laughing and thought how could I have been so foolish.
I invited her in, when she took her veil off I saw that she was a boy about my age. We became boyfriend and girlfriend and eventually got married.
