Near a dark, foggy, cold, broken, and run-down mansion, a pair of bacon slice statues stand in front, guarding the mansion from adventurous teenagers or animals who wandered to the mansion and would never come out. One day a group of teens decide to venture into Sir Jackson’s mansion. These four teens are Adam, Ross, Tyler, and Jess. They never knew what would happen, all that they know is that it’s haunted by Sir Jackson himself. They disappeared one by one, until there is only one left and that one person gets to escape. This is their story, read on to find out who lives.
One foggy, breezy day, Adam was being lazy and playing video games, recording them, and uploading them to his YouTube channel, when he got a call from Ross, one of his friends. He says to meet by the old Jackson mansion with Tyler and Jess. Adam leaves to get to the mansion, after calling Tyler and Jess.
“Hey guys,” says Adam as he arrives at the mansion, “What’s up?”
“Not much, you?” says Jess.
“Same old, same old. How about you, Ty?”
“Same as you Adam.” says Tyler. They hear a crash coming from the mansion. “Ever wonder what’s or who’s in there?”
“Yeah, I do wonder…” says the other three in unison, their voices trailing off. They look away after hearing a bush rustling, as the statues appear in the front, nobody notices that they were gone. They notice the flock of crows flying away from the mansion as a cold breeze flows toward the mansion, seemingly inviting them in.
“Let’s go in and see what’s inside, maybe there’s some cool stuff that we could take home.” suggests Ross, the dimwit of the group.
“Yeah, but who’s going in and who stays out here to guard the place?” asks Jess as Adam and Ross play rock, paper, scissors of which, Adam loses. “So, who’s going in?”
“All of us, we’re all going in.” Says Ross as the fog begins to roll in, the breeze becomes warm and inviting, with a wolves howling coming from behind them making them decide what to do. As the four reach the front doors they look at each other and push the two giant doors front open and feel a cold breeze rush out the door and towards the bacon statues, they shrug off the breeze and begin to walk towards the stairs, that lead to the other floors. The two giant doors slam shut, scaring the group and making them run upstairs to the second floor, but it’s too late the statues had found their target, Jess.
“Boy, that was scary and random. Mainly random and scary.” says Adam as they continue down a hallway adventuring deeper into the mansion. Jess screams then disappears into growing darkness behind them, that they began to notice. They begin to run away from the darkness, but come to the end of the hallway and find two new hallways behind two rotting doors. They run down one, tumbling down the stairs at the bottom into a dark room, as one more disappears, Adam.
“Adam!” Ross yells as he looks for Adam.
“It’s just me and you Ross, what do we do now?” asks Ty.
“I don’t know, you’re smarter than me.”
“Maybe run home? I don’t know, this is kind of a high pressure situation.”
“Sounds like a good idea.” Ross says as they get up and run back towards the front doors. They run pass Adams dead body, just laying there, dead. No blood, no limbs, and decapitated. They keep running towards the doors. As they pass the first staircase they see Jess’s body the same way as Adam’s.
“They’re dead, someone or something killed them, and it definitely wasn’t me or you, Ross.” says Ty, almost crying.
“Definitely none of us.” says Ross as they find the doors. They run and open the doors and a new warm breeze goes into the house. Ty looks behind him, there’s no Ross, just a trail of blood leading into the darkness.
“No! Not Ross! Not my only friend!” yells Ty as he reaches into the darkness, hoping to grab Ross’s hand. It moves towards him, seeing a bronze hand, he runs out the doors, looks back and sees only one statue instead of two. When he runs past a tree, the other appears back on its post, in its normal position, with its creepy smiley face partially covered in blood and creepy stance.
As he reaches home, he runs straight inside and locks the front door, all the doors between  his door and the front door, then plays video games to take his mind off the mansion, his friends, their murders, and their killers, the bacon statues. The same bacon statues that would stay in front of the falling mansion, mocking the world, mocking Tyler in his dreams and his life. The statues would never be caught for murders of multiple teenagers, past and present. His friends will be forever gone, adding to the lost souls in the mansion for all eternity.
“Poor, poor Ross, Adam, and Jess.” Says Ty as he plays a video game, thinking how different life would be without his best friends, how other people’s lives would be different, and their families lives would be different. Thinking about how the game reminded him of his friends, and the good times they’ve had. Thinking about how long they had been friends, and about the decision to go into the mansion, the horrible decision, the decision the had killed his friends.
The same horrible decision that is causing much grief within the town. That decision had caused so much grief in every ones lives that had known the three teens. Now you know, not to venture into Sir Jackson’s mansion. Or you pay the price, unless you are the survivor.
