It was a cold and
blustering night as Ithfifi arrived outside the gloomy location...
It was a little odd
maybe that she was the only one stood waiting outside the old abandoned
balloon factory, at the door marked 'A'. She'd expected there would be other
girls here waiting to be let inside too, ah well. Perhaps she wasthe first to arrive.
Ithfifi had been
jumping up and down with joy when the invitation came through the
letter box. The invitation read:
“Congratulations,
you have been selected as one of 20 winners. We would love to see you
at 01.00am at the old abandoned balloon factory (door A) on Saturday 31st
of October where you will be able to select 50 brand new nail
polishes of your choice. Mobiles and communication devices will not be permitted
inside the building. COME . ALONE.”
The prospect of winning
50 new polishes had clouded Ithfifi's better judgement.
Now, as she stood here, swaying in the wind all alone she began to wonder if this really was
such a good idea after all. Suddenly the door marked 'A' creaked open
slightly. “Hello, is anyone there?” she called out hesitantly.
“I'm here because of the invitation... for the nail polish. Is
anyone else here?” A light switched on inside and she peered
through the open door...
The room was bathed in an eery white light. It was a single massive
room, it looked as though some of the machinery was still inside but
it was hard to tell because the room was covered in hundreds and
hundreds of colourful balloons. Without a warning the balloons
started to move and sway as if someone were running through them, occasionally a few
balloons popped revealing the shadowed shape of figures running
towards her.
She
caught a glimpse of a face, huge wide eyes and
great gnashing, razor sharp teeth,
a head full of every colour of hair.
Suddenly the light went
off and all she could hear was multiple strange laughs and howls echoing off the walls of the room and the
excruciating sound of rubbery balloons on skin.

Some say she became one of them... Others say she simply vanished on that night, as if she had floated away from this life.
I hope you like this post - I'm always a little nervous when I 'write' stuff, this was.. less than I had hoped for!.. I'm behind on my commenting but I'm coming, I miss visiting everyone's blogs as often.
I hope to all of you who may be celebrating tonight that you have a great time and stay safe! But everyone, just have a really lovely weekend :)
Love
Ithi
