confessions of a coimetrophobia(fear of cemeteries)

"Let's go and find Andre!" we were playing hide and seek near a cemetery as we were bored when my mother,Andre's mum and Zul's mum were paying respect to a neighbour which had sadly pass away during an accident. We were very sad when we heard this piece of sad news as the neighbour is a really good guy,he will bake muffins and share it with us,and will bring us down to the void deck to play soccer. All of us like him very much.my mum and my friend's mum do not allow us to pay respect to him as they were very auspicious. So, we decided to follow them n play outside the cemetery. Me,Zul and Andre promised our mum we will not play in the cemetery.

i was the want who was the odd one out at odd numbers,so i was chosen to find them while they hide,i counted to twenty,as i hear footsteps behind me,the sound was fading and fading. Soon there was no more sound of footsteps.I search for a while and found Zul who was hiding behind a big pillar,than,we than try to find Andre together. We searched high and low,but to no avail.We searched the whole block for at least half an hour before we rested on a bench.We were thinking if Andre will break his promise and hide in the cemetery.After another half an hour of searching,we confirm that Andre was hiding in the cemetery as we could not find him any where.

We decided to find him in the cemetery,we daringly when into the cementery althought it will break our promises.We tried to find him,but instead,saw our parents chatting with the decease'family.We ran up to them and told them what has happened.Our parents scolded us and all of us quickly went to find Andre.As we were going out of the cemetery to search for him,me and Zul told them we already search but cannot find him.I was begining to feel afraid as i read before some books that say that cemetery is a cursed place and i do not dare to think of what will happen to Andre,after searching for half an hour,our hard work still bore no fruits.Just then,we saw Andre running out of the cemetry,crying and running.He saw us and ran towards us at full speed telling us he was afraid,suddenly,he collasped. We were shocked,our parents called the ambulance and Andre was admitted to hospital.The doctors did not know what happen to him and he die soon afterwards.We were horribly shocked and very sad as we hear this piece of sad news.I can see tears streaking down Andre's mum when she heard the news that her son was dead.Untill now,Andre's death sy=till remains a mystery to all of us,from that day onwards,i am scared of all cemetery
