Backview

This year's excursion is going to be really superb; I just hope everything goes as planned. My name is Vera, and I love going on adventures.

Our school does go on different kinds of excursions every year, and this year isn't an exemption; we have all been looking forward to it because this time where we are going is going to be more of an adventure and an excursion. We were going to an island forest called the Ionian Forest, and from what I read, it was said that the forest was a forbidden one, but we were so eager to go.

The location idea was brought up by one of our schoolmates, and we like the idea; some are against it, saying why would we want to go to such a place, while others are already anticipating it. We made preparations for the excursion and set a date for when we would go. The school provided everything we would need for it and made sure we had everything in place before leaving.

Everyone was already at the school the day we were leaving; the bus was already there to take us, and everyone was already settling in. Yida, my friend who was part of the group that kicked against going to that kind of place, was also there; she was still not buying the idea of the place, but there was nothing she could do as it was also part of the assignment and it would be added to our scores, so if anyone decides not to go, they should be sure of losing twenty points. No one would want to risk

We got to the place, and everyone looked for a place to set their tent, when everyone was set, we all set a camping fire and everyone was sitted, so one of the student, Diana, she decided to tell a story because of the atmosphere, then she started;

Once upon a time, there was a couple who just recently got married. They were so in love with each other that anyone would pray to have their kind of love. So one day the couple decided that they should move to a new apartment, and the wife said she knew of a friend who had a house for sale and that she would call her and ask about it, which she did. sooner they paid for the house and prepared to move in. On the first night of their stay in the house, after settling in and doing everything they needed to do, they were exhausted, so they decided to rest for a while. A strange noise woke the wife up in the middle of the night. When she got up, she could not find her husband beside her, so she decided to check the parlor. When she got there, she did not see anybody, so she went to the kitchen. The kitchen door opened a little, and she thought to herself, "I locked this door before going to bed, and where is Jack?".
Jack, she called out his name but no one responded. She opened the kitchen door and all she could see was a backview figure of a man with water dripping down his body holding a knife. That freaked her out. She immediately ran out of the kitchen and went to the room where she found her husband sleeping. She was so scared that she passed out.

After that kind of story from Diana, everyone, especially me, was freaking out. I was able to calm her down a bit by telling her that it was just a story and nothing more. Later that night, some were already asleep while the rest of us just decided to chill out a bit. Just then we heard a krack like someone had stepped on a stick; we turned and could not find anyone, so we ignored it, thinking it could have been a rat or something. Just then again we heard another noise, and this time it was like a footstep. We tried to act like we were not freaking out, but as we were about to sit down again, something walked pass us but we could only see the backview. At this point, we started freaking out. Yida, who was with me, said this could have been the guy from Diana's story. I decided not to pay attention. Just then, the same person walked past us, and this time we could clearly see the backview of the person. It was just like Diana's story. In a jiffy, everyone screamed and ran into their tent and locked it; no one came out till the next morning. We could not stay any longer because of the fear the backview man has instilled in us, so we went back home.
But that remained a story in everyone's mouth.

Thanks for reading💖💖💖
