The Abandoned Building
Everyone is always afraid to enter the House. There was this old blue bungalow building that was situated at the end of Kabba Street. The building has actually been abandoned for many years. According to the history attached to the building, it was haunted due to an old woman who died alone in the building holding her bible. Other stories claimed that the woman was used for rituals during the political elections.
Even though everyone is always afraid to enter the building, for Jide, Bola, Tunde and Seyi, they saw it as the perfect dare for their adventure.
The long vacation was coming to an end, and those four guys wanted to have one exciting final adventure for themselves at least before the school resumed. They all gathered under a very big Cashew tree situated close to Jide compound.

They began to brag about who was boldest among the four of them.
"I think we are all making mouths. The last time I checked, courage and boldness mean you showing the action," Jide responded to their brags that have been going on for 30 minutes.
Then Bola, who was the tallest among them all, and the one who made the most noise, responded.
"Guys, there is nothing special about that building. I have been inside that building several times, and something is terrifying there." Bola makes his own claim.
"Bola, I know you. All you have to do is make your mouth. Okay, if it is not terrifying as you claim, why have you not entered the building since then?" Seyi asked with an attempt to mock him.
"Guys, instead of all arguing this back and front, let's make a straw. He who the straw falls on will enter the building, take a picture of him in the building and come back to report to us." Tunde responded to all of them with his own idea.
They all agreed to the idea because they had been on that particular topic for the past 1 hour.
As they make the straw among themselves, making use of a rotating stone. The straw fell on Tunde. He was shocked.
Jide insisted. "Tunde, remember, the straw has been made. So you are the one going."
"Alright, guys, I will be back in 5 minutes ", Tunde responded as he put on his shoes to get prepared to enter the house.
The other three watched from afar with tension in their heart and fear of uncertainty. Tunde entered through the gate, and he paused at the entrance of the compound of the building to take a few pictures. After he was done with that, he continued his adventure.
Tunde is taking steps to enter the parlour of the building. As Tunde raised his hand to take the pictures, he heard a voice coming from the bedroom.

He was afraid. "Probably it might be a rat", Tunde whispered to himself.
Seconds later, he heard a voice again, and this one was coming from the hallway, echoing loudly.
"Tuuunnddeee"
He froze. Picking up his phone from the table in the building, he ran outside of the building,, trembling with total fear.
"What happened?" Seyi asked.
"Guys, I actually got the pictures, but I heard someone calling my name in the building. Someone knew my name in the building," Tunde responded, even with this frightening tone.
The next day, Tunde heard a knock on his gate. Opening to see who was there, he saw an envelope on the floor at the gate with no one there.
Opening the envelope, he saw a letter reading "Next time, pick another straw."
