The Abandoned House

The Beginning.

The story was narrated by a house.

It is in a countryside.

I was a beautiful house once. Just few decades before. My surroundings were all greenery with crops. Now its like an old building deep inside the woods. My surroundings are now grown with tall trees and I am all torn out. I am not as strong as before. The doors, windows everything started breaking. If a strong storm came I don’t know what happens to me. No one was there to look after me.

Last week, few humans came and took pictures of my structure and surroundings. They are few youngsters, probably 20-21 years old(studying in college). They were excited for something. Hope they will come again soon.

After few days, again all alone. Only me and the tall trees around me.

A jeep approaches me, there… there are the humans. They came back. Now they are with luggage.

There are five of them, 2 females and 3 males. They look super excited. Why did they ever want to stay here? Now, me and my surroundings look super creepy, scary, just like a ghost house.

The humans are unpacking their things from the vehicle.

“Rohit… ” called a female voice. She is medium color, long black hair, black eyes and a height of 5.8 feet.

“Yes, Trisha. ” he responded. He is 6.2 feet tall, slim body, black hair, brown eyes.

“This place is perfect for our project.” She said.

“That’s why we decided to stay here and start our project in no time.” Said the other male. He have same height as of Rohit, skin little dart, black eyes, long hair till shoulder.

“Exactly, we don’t have to wait, Sham. Last week when we came here I felt this place is what we need for the project about ‘Haunted houses/places’. ”Trisha replied.

“They said this house is abandoned for 100 years or so.” Third male voice. He is few inches shorter than the others, 5.6 feet, black curly short hair, skin tone medium, perfect worked out body.

“This is so creepy, why did you guys choose this place. This place is too far away from the town. There is no electricity, my phone also not working, there is no signal. If we need anything we have to drive for 1 hour.” A scared female voice. She looks same height as of Trisha but different hair color, brown, she put her hair in a pony tail.

They are standing in front of me with bags and mixed emotions in their eyes and faces.

They slowly stepped in my front. They have to enter the house through, the ready to break anytime soon, steps to open the front door..

Thanks to nature and the builder of mine, the steps didn’t break as I thought. Now they are literally inside me, in the hall. They kept their luggage in there in the middle and started roaming around the rooms. The kitchen is big enough for three humans to stand and cook their food. The females entered and checked the old style kitchen set up. They are impressed with the style of kitchen in me.

“Trisha, the kitchen is nice. We need woods to give it life.” The other female said. They didn’t revealed her name.

“Yes, Laila. There is no way we can use gas or electrical appliances here. Since there is no electricity line to this house.” Said Trisha. Now I know her name.

The males are checking the first floor. There I have three bedrooms and a common bathroom. The bedrooms have only metal cots and no beds. The cot is all dirt and dust now. Hope they won’t throw it out. They started cleaning the dirt in the rooms. First floor cleaned by the males. The kitchen, hall, dining room and the office room, once, in the ground floor was cleaned by the females. The second floor left untouched since they didn’t find the key.

By evening, everything was almost clean. I feel refreshed, neat and clean.

The men fetched woods and twigs from the surroundings to make fire in the fireplace. They all grabbed their packaged food and sat in front of it.
