The Swing Exorcist *Suspenseful Music*
''Hey, let's ditch'', I whisper to my good friend. We had just finished a choir performance. She agreed and we went off to the back playground, where the lower elementary normally play. This time, however, it was completely desolate.
The day was grey, but that didn’t kill our giddy moods, or so we thought. As we skipped around a corner to get to the playground, we both abruptly stopped in our tracks. Fear came over me like an ocean wave, and I was petrified. One, just one, of the swings on the swingset was swinging on its own. Now, you would think that the logical thing to do is run away and never go back. Well, we did run away, but our curiosity got the best of us so we went back. I bet you all just cringed right there. Anyways, we went back to the creepy swinging swing, that was fun to say, and it was swinging higher and higher every second, creepy right? Then, I hear singing. I immediately look at my friend, who is in fact singing. I was a bit relieved, then terrified again, because there is some things you just don’t do if you are involved in a supernatural situation, and one thing is to sing ‘’Jesus Loves Me’’ to it. You just don’t do that. So I do what any calm rational person would do. Just kidding, I thrusted my hand over her mouth faster than she could finish the song. ‘’No don’t do that’’ I yelped,’’ you might make it angry!’’ I then remembered something I had learned in elementary. So, I boldly threw my shoulders back and got as close as I possibly could to the swing, which was like ten feet away from it. I cried out in a mighty, thunderous voice, ‘’In the name of the Lord, I cast you out!’’ Almost instantaneously, the swing began to violently bounce around, and oh boy did we run the heck out of there. Yes we did. The rest of the day was filled with awkward silence and paranoia. But let’s not forget how much adrenaline we had rushing through our veins. We were just running all over the place.
When we finally rested, I turned and look at my friend and basically said, ‘’We’re never doing that again…”
