One of my not-so-close friend back when I was a freshman, Sharon messaged me on Facebook out of the blue saying "Hey. It's been a long time, Jesse! You're invited to my sleepover on Saturday. It's okay if you don't come but I would really appreciate it if you do." I find this very unusual since she never had sleepovers back when I was still in freshman til sophomore and plus, she's somewhat awkward. I arrived at her house at around 9 PM. I didn't really wanted to go but I thought it would be nice if I get to know her more and some of her sleepover mates. When I was about to knock on her door, the door flung inwards by force to my surprise. It's Sharon. She greeted me with an uncomfortable grin as I greeted back. "Come on in." said Sharon. Once I came inside the living room, the atmosphere felt empty. "Where are the others you invited?" "Oh, they're coming later I suppose." My gut felt something is off but I managed to brush it off. Sharon did some tour to her simple 2 story house including the basement. There are 2 bedrooms - one in the first floor and one in the second floor. The last destination of the house is of course, the basement and it looks okay. The basement has a few furniture like a living room and it's neatly cleaned. "So which room are we going to sleep in?" Sharon smiled "Oh, I guess I'll have to think about it when we're complete. Stay there while I get some refreshments." As Sharon left the basement and closed the door behind her, a stench suddenly filled my nose. As I follow the trail of the stench, it got stronger and stronger which led me to a hidden rusty metallic door. I think it's supposed to be hidden because it was barricaded with cardboard boxes but I found it anyway. I touched the handle of the door which is cold and wet. A gross liquid which is almost completely dry is stained on it until I look at my palm and the substance was dark red. I immediately confirmed that it is blood that was on the handle. Sharon entered the basement and I quickly faced away from the door. "Umm I think I'm smelling something." "Once we're complete, I'm getting those meat."
