It was a dark, windy, gloomy night. Charlotte and her boyfriend, Jake, were out having dinner together, at their favorite restaurant. Charlotte was 18, she had very beautiful blonde hair, pearly white teeth, and an okay relationship with a hot guy. Her personality was spunky, nice, a little rude when necessary, and she believed in superstitions, curses, and ghosts. They got up after their nice dinner and started walking to the car. Charlotte was having a really strange feeling in her stomach, in her head she felt something was wrong, but didn’t say anything. They were driving for a while and for some reason they didn’t see any cars on the roads, but they figured it was because it was nighttime and they lived in a small town.

“Please just buy it! If you don’t you’ll be cursed!” the old lady said. Jake chuckled and said, “Hahaha, please just go home, it’s getting really late for a poor old women to be out right now.” He rolled up Charlotte’s window, and as they were leaving Charlotte mouthed, “I’m sorry.” with a bit of sorrow on her face. Charlotte was looking at the old lady, and the lady gave her the dirtiest look ever. They were still driving on and on, the look the lady gave her kept replaying in her head. They stopped at a gas station, Jake got out to put in the gas, while Charlotte was waiting in the car, the look was haunting her, she just couldn’t get it out of her mind, every time she looked outside the car she would see her, and her nasty face. She wasn’t even talking to Jake, she just kept on thinking about the lady and how she should’ve just bought the flower.

She was way too anxious, so she got up and started walking back and forth. She opened the window for some air, and saw a dark figure with raggedy old clothes sitting on the curb.

Jake shook his head, “we can’t now, it’s way too late.” “And it’s okay if I’m going crazy?!” Charlotte replied. “You know what, I’m starting to realize now that you don’t even care about me! So, I think you should just go back home, and stop pretending like you care!” she said. “No! wait I’m sorry Charlotte! Come on, let’s work this out.” Jake said. “No, just get out... now please!” she said as she handed him his keys. “Okay, but please call me in the morning.”He groaned and left. Now she was all alone and scared. She went in the kitchen to grab a little snack, since it had been some time since she came back, she couldn’t help but notice that it was abnormally cold in her kitchen. Charlotte opened her pantry to take out a granola bar. She heard rustling noises in the background, but ignored it since she had been hearing noises all night. She opened her bar and went to the trashcan to throw away the wrapper. Then she walked towards the pantry to close the door, she put her hand on the handle and she felt a pull back on the other side of the door. She glanced to the side as her heart was racing.
