NARRATIVE ESSAY

“There was an empty house in an isolated part of the village. Nobody


dared to go there.” Eventually, the landscape of the empty house was shady,
lush and green, ‘with delicate pale-gold and purple wild flowers springing up
between soft green mosses; however no one is brave enough to hunt for wild
figs. The beautiful and evergreen nature surrounding the empty house was
due to full steady downpour which makes the soil damp and soggy always.

After the SPM examinations, my peers and I decided to go for camping


at the empty house since we had enough of studying books and would like to
investigate about the mystery of the house. It was supposed to be a two days
camping trip. We equipped ourselves with the necessary camping gear and
enough food to last for the two days. We walked deep inside the village and
reached at a huge and old empty house. As soon as we arrived there, Rashid
approaches all of us to enter the house since the journey was quite tiring. We
stepped in the house to fill our empty stomachs with the food that we had
brought but we realized that the condition of the house was incredibly dirty
and dusty. The ceiling was fully covered with spider webs whereas the floor
was covered with dried leaves. Hence, we managed to clear up the place
before start eating our meal.

Then, we went walking around the house and suddenly Rashid


started screaming “Arg!!!” He saw a ‘human skull’ inside a drawer. All of us
were astonished with the discovery of ‘human skull’ in the mystery house. At
that moment, we could feel our bloodstream was flushing and cold. All of us
quickly rushed out of the house and decided to go back home. It was our hard
luck because it was raining heavily outside. We had no choice but to wait until
the rain stops. An eerie silence surrounded us. Fear was written on all our
face, especially since we had discovered a human skull! All of us were in low
spirits. Even Rashid was silent and nervous who is actually a noisy maker in
the group. The hours dragged past but the rain continued. Instead we had no
choice but to spend the night in the mysterious house. Although we were

exhausted, we could not rest our tired minds and bodies with the opiate of
sleep.

At midnight, Rashid woke up to go to toilet and asked me to


accompany him till the door. While I was waiting for him, I saw a “fully white
dressed creature without head holding an axe” was hunting for food in the
middle of night at the balcony of the house. I could not believe my own eyes
and started reciting prayer according to my religion. Then, I quietly went back
to sleep after Rashid was back. The next morning, we decided to make our
way back to home and quickly packed all our belongings. On the way heading
back, I told them about the horrifying creature that I saw last night. All of them
were nervous and frighten.

On our way back, we met with a group of villagers who normally


washes their clothes at a waterfall, which is situated about 8km away from the
empty house. Therefore, we took that opportunity to ask them about the
mystery of the empty house and the ‘human skull’. According to them, before
this there was a young lady who got murdered by the communist soldiers in
the empty house. One of them tried to rape her but she managed to fight him
back using an axe. Unfortunately, she lost her head in that battle. Hence, the
human skull belongs to the young lady and the white creature is her spirit who
is hunting people for revenge.

After that incident, no one dared to go the house. Then, my friends and
I thank the villagers and made a beeline for home. We decided not to go to
the empty house anymore after this.
