new haunted theme park, especially with The Cove—the old

amusement park up the coast a few miles—now shut down

and abandoned.

“Pray fooooor the dead, and the dead will pray for

youuuuuu,” a creepy-ass voice said, and I felt a plastic bag

blow into my body with a breeze. “They will pray for you and

they will prey on you.”

A cackling laugh followed, and I pushed the huge plastic

sheet away from me, but as my hand dipped into the plastic, it

hit something solid, and then…a male growl followed, the

plastic was all over us, and arms and legs attacked through the

sheet.

“Ah! Ah!” the girls screamed, scrambling away as I

tightened my grip on Isa’s arm.

My stomach flipped, and I breathed out a small laugh.

I inched toward the far wall to get away from the huge guy

behind the tarp and felt a hand poking out of the wall. I

jumped back, but it grabbed for me, and we all were laughing

as a dozen or more hands reached for us out of both sides of

the hallway now.

We moved from room to room, some of it—like the evil

operating room—going over my head, because there weren’t

many sounds or screams or anything to give away what was

actually going on, but I liked the juggernaut and his

sledgehammer, pounding the floor ahead of us and chasing us

into one room after another. My heart beat so hard, but it was

thrilling to be chased, because I knew I was safe. I wasn’t as

scared as the other two when people came out of the portraits,

because obviously, I couldn’t see them following us with their

eyes.

The spiral staircase almost made me pee my pants, though,

single file and being chased up the tiny and steep incline by

Jason Vorhees. You didn’t want to be taking up the rear in a

situation like that, and of course, I always did, because I had to

follow instead of lead.
