 **Unknown Deaths ** Today is the death anniversary of John’s parents. When John was about 8 years old, his parents died, no one could explain why they died. It was a story of 10 years ago. Now, he’s 18 years old, he’s living with his aunt and uncle and today is his first day to go to university. He has some new friends, their name are Mike, Luke and Lucy. He invites them to come to his house and meet his uncle and aunt. On the way back, he goes to his parents’ house with his new friends. It is dark and cold. The house has been ruined, his aunt and uncle have decided to destroy the house and sell it to a company for more money. This place is going to be a part of the shopping centre. “I guess this will be the last time I see it,” John said with a sad face. “Well, it will become a shopping mall though, it will be more convenient and easier for me to get here to buy stuffs,” Luke said. “Yeah, I guess so,” As he and his friends walk to the door, the steps are cracking. John opens the door, inside the house, it is dirty and smelly, and includes smelly stuffs such as a black and white television, old telephone…. When they walk in, the door automatically closes. Lucy’s face is pale but Mike cheers her up. “It’s just the wind, don’t worry,” John goes to the kitchen, his memories flash back. He remembers that when he was a boy, his mother usually fed him and then he remembers something about his mom and dad’s conversation about his aunt and uncle. His uncle’s name is Matt and his aunt’s name is Lily. “Dear, I think Matt is trying to sell our house. This is my dad house. I don’t want to sell it. What should we do?” “Don’t worry, I’ll talk to him”. As John walks into each room, his mind flashes back all the conversations that his parents were talking to each other, they are all about his uncle and aunt. The flash back makes John tired. His shirt soaks in sweat. “Are you okay? I think we should go out. You look tired,” Lucy said. “No, it’s okay but my parents’ conversations just come right into my head after I entered a room. I think my parents are trying to say something”. John walks into the basement; this is where his mom and dad suicide. “I hope the light is going to work,” John said. When he pull the string, the light turns on and off and on again. Everyone is shocked because the scene of 10 years ago comes back again. No, in fact it is horrible. What was happening in the past appears and disappears. John is standing there speechless for a while, he drives his friends to their house but he isn’t saying anything. His eyes look different from before, like he’s been possessed by someone or something. The next day, his uncle and aunt are found dead in the basement just like his parents.
