“1, 2…” The seeker counted.

Everyone ran to hide.

Mary hid in the closet.

John hid behind the door.

And Ellie hid under the bed.

“14, 15-“ the seeker stops counting.

Everyone heard a muffled scream.

“If your found, your next,” said a low voice.

Everyone held their breath.

It’s ok. It’s just a joke. Mary thought.

Then she heard someone enter the room she was in.

The closet door flung ...

Crumbled up in a cabinet, I try my best not to be loud.

My heart pounds with Stomp after stomp. They are NEVER going to find me.

I look around the cabinet. Extra toilet paper, extra past and tooth brushes.

This is really boring. I peep my head out of the cabinet toward the door.

“Ahhhhhhhh!” I hear followed by a “Helppp!”

Was that? Nic- Nick?!

I jolt out of the cabinet, maybe he hurt himsel...

Me and my friend Lola make our way through the town heading to town square, you can already see the kids gathered around, waiting for the game to start.

It’s just another game, I repeat in my head. But I still can’t stop the achy feeling at the pit of my stomach—like maybe it wasn’t going to be just a game this time.

Lola looks to me, a wide grin on her face. “I feel like we are going to win...

Jamie’s POV

The wind brushes against my ear as I run. My feet pedal against the ground. I count the seconds. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven. Twelve. I have eight more seconds, I climb into a tree. My fingers grasp the knobs. My feet curve around the lower knobs. This tree is oddly easy to climb; in a short amount of time, I reach the perfect spot. I sit there fo...

Long blades of grass tickle my legs as the warm, humid air adheres to my face.

I feel very excited, as I know Kai will have a hard time finding me. I had left him last behind the tree house counting,

…

Here I come!

I had scurried away off to the hiding spot I had scoped out hours before. Now I lie next to the muggy creek, In between two large boulders. I pick at the lu...

‘Breathe.’

I tell myself placing my hand over my slightly opened lips. ‘I can’t be the first one found because I simply cannot stop breathing so loud’.

I hear my heartbeat strumming heavy in my ears and i’m squatted down under the pile of all of my friends sweatshirts. I look up slightly to see if anyone coming through the door yet when a large man with and even larger knife comes into view. I hol...

‘This was stupid, absolutely stupid!’ I thought to myself. I was hiding behind a tombstone, when the moonlight was shining down, and what I saw infront of me made me wanna throw up. It was this guy that we let play hide n seek with. So stupid, he was stabbing my friend over and over, throwing her body in the trunk of his car. “Come out, come out where ever you are.” He said tauntingly and wiping h...

I woke up.. in a dark room.. musty green walls and the smell of damp surrounds me.. the room was empty.. the room was so silent you could hear a pin drop.. the door was locked.. no windows.. no air vents.. there was no way out.

Until a deep voice surrounds me.. making me flinch unknowingly where it’s coming from.. I look up and search where the voice is coming from ‘there’s no point trying to fi...

It was a dark, windy night, and the wind howled through the trees, sending a shiver down my spine, when Ashly decided to play hide and seek. “Let’s play hide and seek! It’ll be fun.” She said right before she decided to be the seeker. I didn’t have much choice but to hide, considering that was the point of the game.

I was hiding right behind a tree, just playfully waiting for Ashly to find m...

It started as a game but ended in a death

It all started as a normal day in the summer. Elle and I were laying in my room with the sun beeming in the window

“Girls are you still up there?” My mom yelled

“Yeah why”

“You need to play out side it’s a beautiful day”

Fine.

It was a normal day on Fairway Lane kids were playing and adults talking and of course me and Elle bored.

“What do you want t...
