Alive

They each sat on a chair, and started eating like hungry wolves.

They were all bloated from all the food they ate. "I'm so tired... I really want to go to sleep" Mary said.

They all walked to the bedroom, and each jumped on a bed.

"Good night" Ashley said. "Good night" Sandra replied.

The next morning, they were all awake, except Mary. Sandra started preparing the breakfast, with the help of Ashley.

"Can you wake your lazy sister for me, Ashley?" Sandra asked. "Sure, mom" Ashley replied.

Thump-Thump-Thump

"What was that?" Sandra wondered.

Thump-Thump-Thump

Ashley walked up to the main door, and opened it... She saw a pack of wood on the ground.

She took the wood inside the house, and walked back to the kitchen. "Someone left wood on the ground in front of the cabin" She said. "What do you mean someone left wood on the ground in front of the cabin?" Sandra asked.

"I don't know... I just don't know" Ashley replied. "Good morning" Mary yelled.

"Morning, honey" Sandra smiled.

"Hello, is anybody there?" Someone called out.

Ashley walked out of the kitchen, and saw 2 men in front of her eyes. "Who are you?" She asked.

"Hi there, we live near this cabin. We saw the lights opened last night, so we came to find out" One man said. "This cabin hasn't been used for so long, like 5 years ago or so," The other man added.

"That's strange. The house didn't look old at all," Sandra told them.

"6 years ago, the Martin's family owned this house. But a tragic thing happened once. The father left the mother and the two children alone in the cabin. His wife and the children had some food, but it disappeared shortly" One man began.

"The wife and the children died from starving a week after the father left- People say they heard the children giggling, and some people say the cabin is haunted. I once heard a girl's voice crying for help, and I also heard some kids giggling softly," The man added.

"We heard kids giggling too, and a girl's voice crying for help. This is really creepy, I didn't believe in ghosts, but I guess now I do" Mary said.

Ashley started crying hard and warmly. "What's wrong, Ashley?" Sandra asked.

"Don't you see?" Ashley sobbed. "See what?" Mary asked.

Ashley wiped her tears, and said, "Their dad deserted them, and my dad deserted us. Their dad left them live life alone, and so did my dad! Can't you see, our life is like theirs"

Mary thought for a second, then replied, "You're right"
