Fallen Friend

Once a bright and cheerful boy named Mike fell down from the school building and died on impact. His friends were devastated by the tragic accident, especially his best friend, Jake.

Mike had always been the life of the party. His smile was infectious, his laugh contagious, and he had a way of making everyone feel special. But that all changed one fateful day when Mike fell from the school building and died instantly.

The news of his death rocked the small town where Mike lived. His friends were inconsolable, and Jake, in particular, struggled to come to terms with the loss of his best friend. He couldn't believe that Mike, who had always been so full of life, was gone.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, but the pain of Mike's death never lessened. Jake found himself haunted by memories of his friend, and he often felt like he could still hear Mike's voice or see his smiling face.

One night, Jake was lying in bed when he heard a strange noise coming from outside his window. He sat up and peered through the blinds, but he couldn't see anything in the darkness. Just as he was about to lie back down, he heard the noise again, louder this time.

It sounded like someone tapping on the glass.

Jake hesitated for a moment before slowly getting out of bed and moving closer to the window. He cautiously peered out and nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw a figure standing outside. It was Mike.

Jake rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating, but when he opened them again, Mike was still there, staring at him with a blank expression.

“Mike?" Jake whispered, his voice trembling.

Mike didn't respond. He just stood there, watching Jake.

Suddenly, Jake heard a faint whisper in his ear. "Jake, it's me. Mike. I've come back for revenge."

Jake spun around, but there was no one there. He looked back out the window, but Mike was gone.

The next day, Jake went to school feeling unsettled. He couldn't shake the feeling that Mike's visit had been real and that his friend was somehow still with him. He tried to push the thought out of his mind and focus on his classes, but he couldn't help but feel like someone was watching him.

As the day wore on, Jake noticed that his classmates seemed to be acting strangely. They were jumpy and nervous, and some of them even seemed to be avoiding him. Jake couldn't figure out what was going on until he overheard a group of girls whispering in the hallway.

"I heard that Mike's ghost is back," one of them said.

Jake's heart raced. Could it be true? Was Mike really haunting them?

Over the next few days, strange things began to happen around the school. Objects would move on their own, doors would slam shut for no reason, and there were whispers in the halls when no one was there. It was like the school was alive with some kind of malevolent energy.

And then, the killings started.

The first to go was Tony, one of Mike's closest friends. He was found in his bedroom, his body twisted in a grotesque position. The next day, it was Olivia, then Maria, then Tim. The killer was leaving no clues, no evidence, nothing to identify them.

But Jake knew the truth. It was Mike. He had come back from the dead to take revenge on those who had let him fall.

Jake tried to warn his friends, but no one would listen to him. They thought he was crazy, delusional, and they shunned him for his beliefs.

But Jake knew that he was right. He could feel Mike's presence all around him, and he could hear his whispers in his ear. He knew that he was next on the list, and he knew that he had to act fast if he wanted to survive.

He spent the next few days researching everything he could about the supernatural and how to deal with a vengeful spirit. He read books, watched documentaries, and talked to experts in the field.

Finally, he came up with a plan.

He knew that Mike was targeting his friends one by one, so he decided to lure the ghost away from them and confront him himself.

Jake waited until nightfall, and then he went to the school, where Mike's presence was strongest. He walked through the empty halls, feeling Mike's eyes on him, watching his every move.

He reached the top of the stairs where Mike had fallen, and he closed his eyes, calling out to him.

"Mike, I know you're here. I know you're angry. But you have to stop this. You're hurting innocent people. You're hurting your friends."

There was no response.

Jake opened his eyes, and there he was, standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking up at him. Mike's eyes were dark, his face twisted in rage.

"Jake, you abandoned me. You didn't save me. You let me die," Mike hissed.

Jake shook his head, tears streaming down his face.

"I'm sorry, Mike. I'm so sorry. But you have to forgive me. You have to let go."

Mike didn't move, but Jake could feel the air around him growing colder. He knew that he had to act fast.

He took out a small vial of holy water that he had brought with him, and he threw it at Mike. The ghost let out a blood-curdling scream as the water hit him, and then he disappeared, dissipating into the ether.

Jake stood there, panting, feeling the adrenaline rush through his body. He knew that it was over. Mike had finally found peace.

The next day, the school was back to normal. The air was warm and full of life, and there was no sign of the malevolent presence that had haunted it for so long.

Jake's friends came up to him, tears in their eyes, and apologized for not believing him. They knew that he had been right all along, and they thanked him for saving their lives.

Jake smiled, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders. He knew that he would never forget his friend, but he also knew that it was time to move on. To live his life, to be happy, and to cherish the memories of the boy who had taught him so much about love, life, and friendship.
