The Abandoned Swing

The Abandoned Swing
What starts as a mundane library research trip spirals into a chilling encounter with the supernatural. Airin and Jessy, two high school friends, stumble upon a newspaper clipping that speaks of a haunted house and a dark mystery. Driven by curiosity and a thirst for adventure, they, along with friends Ryan and Alby, venture into the abandoned Crystal Lake Estate. But this isn't just a spooky old house; it's a place where reality blurs, and terrifying secrets refuse to stay buried. Will they uncover the truth, or become another part of Merrill's haunting legend?

The air in front of Angelwood High's library was thick with the scent of old paper and impatient sighs. Airin tapped her foot, a rhythm of annoyance against the quiet hum of the late morning. Her eyes, usually bright with mischief, darted towards the library's imposing doors, then flicked to her watch.

"Where is she?" she muttered, a familiar frustration bubbling. Jessica, her ever-punctual best friend, was late. And for a library trip, no less. Airin hated libraries, hated the dust, the quiet, the endless rows of books when Google offered everything in a blink. Their teacher, however, had insisted on 'paperback references' for their research project, a phrase that still made Airin's eye twitch.

She was about to pull out her phone, breaking her self-imposed silence mode, when footsteps approached. A wave of relief washed over her, followed by a playful scowl. "Aha, there she comes."
