A Magical Moment

I was silently walking up “Haunted Road” when I saw a dilapidated and eerie house. I heard the wind wailing in the sky. I saw frightening fog hiding the moon and the clouds were playing hide and seek with it. From nowhere, a mysterious mist crept up my legs. I carefully and silently walked closer to the house. I was curious.
 
I walked closer. The winding path went as far as the eye could see. The green ivy was strangling the trees and dangled down onto the path. Beside the path lay a ghoulish gravestone. I wondered who had an unfortunate death in this place. I read TOM on the tombstone; “That is my name!” I thought. I ran towards the terrifying house to just get some warmth.
 
Straight in front of me, a gigantic, warped tree appeared in front of me, and the roots were like witches’ bony fingers, ready to trip me up. Before I could stop myself, I tripped into a claustrophobic hole. Then, the tree toppled over me and blocked my escape. I needed a miracle to save myself now.
 
“I wish, I wish, I wish!” I thought, “I wish I could escape this hole.” Strangely, I saw nothing but white and it felt as if I had gone to heaven. I thought I died but in fact, I was alive and I was standing on the path of “Haunted Road”.  My wish came true! This was a truly magical moment. Swiftly, I ran off "Haunted Road" and onto a different street. The sun glimmered and glistened.
 
Goodbye “Haunted Road”.
