A Horror / Tragic Storyby Jun Li

I opened the door, to my horror, a few skeletons lay there, chained on the wall.

Okay, time to recap. I and my friends, Jack and Peter, were playin around an old, abandoned mansion. !e weretold that no one was allowed to enter. "owe#er, curiosity o#ercame us and we picked the lock, rantin us entranceinto the sacred lair of the unknown.

$t the siht of the skeletons, the three of us were completely stunned. Our %aw hun wide open for a few minutesbefore we came back to our senses. &y si'th sense told me that somethin was about to o wron, so I ured the

other two to back out of the mansion.

()on*t be such a chicken,+ said Jack, with a shaky #oice.

($ren*t you scared too+ I challened him.

(-es, but we miht ne#er et the chance to e'plore here aain if we lea#e now.+

($ll riht, but we lea#e as soon as the first sin of daner shows.+

!e #entured deeper into the mansion. /he desin looked like some sort of torture room, or a prison. E#en thouh Iwas afraid, I was eaer to disco#er more. /hrouhout the lair, we did not lose siht of skeletons or spider webs./hese were at e#ery corner, at e#ery turn. /he occasional howls from a distance made the hair on our backs standup straiht. !e finally arri#ed at a lon hallway. Jack picked up a piece of wood and lihted it up with his lihter./he flame seared at first, but after it simmered down, I was able to see the walls clearly. /here were ancientwritins, the kind we usually see in an Eyptian ra#e robber mo#ie. $s the e'pert in history, Jack tried his best todecipher the car#ins. &eanwhile, Peter leaned towards the wall to catch his breath. $t that #ery moment, a coldchill went down my spine.

(!atch out0+ I shouted.

efore he could react, that portion of the wall he was leanin aainst flipped, trappin him on the other side. $ll hecould let out was a loud shriek and he #anished behind the walls. I pounded aainst the wall, shoutin his name.

Only then did I know what real terror felt like. "owe#er, the chance of rescuin him was bleak. I sank to theround, desolated and hopeless.

(Let*s et out of here, we ha#e to inform the adults0+ suested Jack.

I ot to my feet swiftly and both of us sped throuh the buildin. &y heart was racin. I knew that daner may bewaitin at the ne't corner. I could hear blood poundin in my ears. !ait, was that a creak I heard (2h3oh,+ Ithouht to myself. /he ceilin bean to crumble. &y sub3consciousness took o#er. I spran forward and tackledJack. oth of us fell to the round. Just as I thouht that trouble was out of the way, the burnin piece of woodslipped out of his hand and landed in a pile of rease. 4ire started spreadin like mad. I struled to et up.

(5ome on, there*s not much time left0+ I screamed as I turned towards the e'it.

($ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh0+

In a split second, my head turned 167 derees. $ iantic marble pillar fell on Jack. I mustered all the strenthfrom e#ery sinle cell in my body, tryin to lift it up, to no a#ail. &y eyes were watery. I was completely out of

ideas.

(8a#e yourself, lea#e me, please,+ muttered Jack, with a weak tone.

/his was certainly a touh decision for me. $ll the moments we had spent toether flashed throuh my mind. "owcould I lea#e him now $s the fire was close to sealin my only e'it, I knew that I had to be rational. I di#ed for my

escape route.

/ears rolled down my cheeks as the mansion erupted into flames behind me.

Descriptive5lose friendships are hard to come by these days. In an e#er3chanin world with people stri#in

to achie#e their interpretation of preordained success, it is hard to know who your true friends

the same school and were at wits* ends as we searched tirelessly for our desinated classes.

8amantha and I ot acuainted as both of us were in the same class and sat ne't to each other.

8amantha was a happy3o3lucky irl who always manaed to breathe fresh air into the

sometimes arid classroom. 8he always knew what to say and would #oice them at the best

possible moments. oth pupils and teachers alike en%oyed her company and li#eliness. /here was

hardly e#er a dull moment when she was around with her funny uips and e'pressions.

and ran a boutiue. oth her parents were #ery carin towards her as she, %ust like I, was the

only child of the family. 8amantha came to school each day with a perpetual smile. 8he was a

#ery nice person to be around with. 8he and I used to o e#erywhere toether and both of us

were rarely seen apart. !e used to talk about so many thins as we walked, thorouhly en%oyin

our time toether.

One day, I went to school and forot to ask my parents for lunch money. $t first, I was nothunry and thouht I could bear oin without a meal but soon, my stomach bean to rowl.

8eperkara lai, satu daripada lankah3lankah untuk mempromosikan sektor

pelanconan neara ini adalah denan menadakan kempen /ahun &alaysia &alaysia

denan lebih berkesan dan melibatkan lebih banyak penyertaan. /ahun &elawat &alaysia

ialah kempen untuk menalakkan pelancon datan ke neara kita denan lebih besar

bilanannya. Gempen yan diadakan sepan%an tahun ini menyediakan pelbaai acara untuk

menarik minat pelancon datan ke neara ini. &isalnya, pelbaai acara kebudayaanpelbaai kaum dipersembahkan untuk para pelancon. Penyertaan pelbaai pihak

2slub dan minha% yan lain ialah menhapuskan atau menurankan cukai belian

pelancon asin yan datan ke sini bukan sekadar untuk menikmati keindahan alam

semula %adi neara, bahkan %ua untuk membeli3belah. &ereka inin men%adikan percutian

kayu penukur untuk mereka datan ke destinasi pelanconan yan men%adi pilihan di hati

mereka. Gita tidak seharusnya lupa denan elaat seelintir masyarakat yan menambil

kesempatan ke atas pelancon. Oleh itu, )nit *eselamatan Pelancongperlu ditubuhkan

untuk membantu pihak polis menanani %enayah ke atas pelancon. Ge%adian3ke%adianrool, mencabul kehormatan, menhendap, peras uut, rompak dan tipu harus ditanani

yan dapat dirancan dan dilaksanakan untuk meninkatkan sektor pelanconan di neara

kita. &eman diakui pelanconan merupakan suatu industri yan cukup berpotensi dan beitu

menuntunkan. Oleh itu, usaha mema%ukan industri pelanconan bukanlah terletak atas pundak

pihak berkuasa semata3mata kerana bertepuk sebelah tanan takkan berbunyi. 8emua pihak

hendaklah tampil dan menun%ukkan iltiDam yan tini untuk membantu kera%aan mempromosikan

&alaysia sebaai destinasi pelanconan yan hebat, bak kata pepatah kalau tidak dipecahkan

ruyung, di mana akan mendapat sagunya. Jika tidak, seala keunikan dan kehebatan budaya

pelbaai kaum di neara ini akan sia3sia dan tidak dapat diketenahkan untuk dinikmati oleh

pelanconan tempatan dan mancaneara. Ger%asama dan kesunuhan daripadasemua pihak yan
