In the
countryside, where the sky was as beautiful as a light blue jewel, where the
streets were quiet, where trees were tall and healthy, an old building stood
beside a large grassland. Hymns singing was heard in the morning, while
teenagers laughing was heard in the afternoon. The students studying in that
school were probably enjoying their life at this moment.
Mike was one of
those lucky students.
This school was
the oldest school in this area, but a lot of its places had already changed
into a new appearance except one place, the oldest piano room, which one of the
earliest kind of piano was placed inside.
Mike has always
been eager to explore the room, but students were not allowed to enter the
room, if they entered the room, they would be reprimanded by several discipline
teachers. In fact, even many students were reluctant to go inside, because this
room had a bloody history.
It was built in
1738, a piano room for the nobles. The first blood happened in a civil war,
when a mother tried to teach her son piano, soldiers broke in and killed them.
It was then peaceful for 100 years, as people were afraid to go inside and they
tried to stay away from it.
The second
incident happened when some workers try to renew the place, a worker fell from
the balcony and people found his face contorted, as if he saw something that
haunted him so much. There was only one survivor, a janitor who cleaned the top
floor. However, after he went out of the room, he became quiet. When people
asked him about the room, he immediately turned aggressive. All these strange
things happened haunted the people living near it.
However, Mike's
determination never wavered. He should have gone inside if it hadn't been
locked.
The bell rang, and
Mike looked at the balcony of the room and shook his head. Then he headed back
to his home.
When he checked
his facebook, he found a invitation from his adventurous friends: wanna go to the piano room or not?
sure, he answered, but how?
Easy, his friend answered, I will get
the tools. Let's do it tomorrow, at night. We now have six men in total. Now, the truth of the room is going to
be discovered.
It was so uneasy
for him to get into sleep, all he waited was tomorrow night!
The next day, he
waited for his parents to sleep, then he tiptoed out of his house to the
meeting place. Then they headed quickly to school. They climbed over the old
and low fence, then they climbed the tall tree that reached the roof. When they
reached the roof, they jumped on the room's balcony which was just below them.
Now, it was only just a door that separated them from the truth. Then, they
used a hammer to crack open the rusty lock and opened the door.
Dust flew into
their eyes and mouth to make them closed their eyes tightly and coughed. When
they opened their eyes, they were so shocked to see the pictures in their
history textbook reappeared. The books on the shelf were yellow and a canopy of
dust was formed on the books, it reflected that they were old and hadn't been
moved for a long time. The chair in front of the piano was a little broken, and
it was made of pure wood, but some insects were already eating the wood. The
piano was amazing, they just couldn't describe how wonderful it was. Mike
pressed one of its keys, it was unbelievable that it sounded okay, at least it
can be pressed and a little sound got into his ears.
He turned and
spoke,' wow, isn't that amazing, for nearly 200 years it could still be
played.'
He then saw a boy
smaller than him had his face turned pale, as pale as paper.
' What is the
matter?' he asked.
' I think I heard
the piano playing when I was climbing up the tree.' he said,
' What the hell is
going on here?' he said to himself. Looking at his trembling legs, a wave of
fear came at him.
