The Forbidden Room – A Horror Story

Adam was a young boy living in the big city with his parents. He was eight years old and was currently packing his backpack with his favorite films. His mom entered his room with a suitcase.

„Here's your clothes, Adam” she spoke. „Your toothbrush is also in here. Granny is waiting downstairs. Come and say hello”.

With luggage and Adam packed and suited, he was soon sitting in the back of Granny's car with Grandad and Grandma in the front. „Are you excited for the weekend, Adam?” she asked, looking back at him with a smile. He said yes.

„We will be there soon, Addie” said Grandad with his eyes at Adam in the rear-view. „Our farm is a bit off from the city, you see.”

When they arrived, Adam was given some chocolate-milk and cookies. After that he was shown to the room they had prepared for him.

„We hope you like it, Addie” said Grandad. „This is your mom's old room, actually”.

„Now Adam” said Grandma. „You need to listen carefully to what we must tell you”.

Adam did not listen carefully, but saw all the toys in the corner of this room. Grandma took his hand gently and showed him the way down the hall. They stopped in front of a door.

„You are under no circumstances” she emphasized „allowed to enter this room. No matter what you hear at night.”

Adam looked at the door with curiosity. And obliged.

At night Adam woke up. He heard some weird noises he did not understand. It sounded like a tormented cat howling as a large dog growled. And he heard loud knocks, which repeated. Disturbed by this he exited his room and followed this noise and traced it to the forbidden room. As the screams and banging continued, he remembered Grandma's warning. But then he thought someone maybe was trapped inside of the room and needed help. So he disobeyed and opened the door. Confused he saw Grandma sitting on top of Grandad in a bed. She was screaming and breathing hard as he was growling and banging the bed against the wall. They were naked.
