= Here I am in my bungalow in the tropics of Malaysia. First I will tell you a little about myself, my name is Jonathan and I am 16 years old. In the country side, very weird, random and scary stuff happens a lot. For example, last week my neighbor went jungle trekking and mysteriously disappeared! The FBI came to investigate my neighbors death, but all they found was a blood-stained shirt hanging from a tree branch on the mountain cliff. Many people judged that he fell down the cliff and his shirt got caught on the branch during the fall. My neighbour Joe was a father to 3 sons, he was also a husband to an african lady, Melinda. Every day when I walk to the nearby lake to wash my clothes, I hear Melinda and her 3 sons sobbing softly in their house. Most of the time, when I go to their house to comfort them with some of my home made cookies, I see Ben, Bob and Jesse looking at pictures of their long lost dad sadly. Now that you know what sort of things happen around here, let me continue my story. One warm but dark afternoon, my dad and I went to a swampy lake that was said to have mystical forces and some sort of spirits. Legend says that whosoever goes near the lake will die some how. It is actually true as many people that go to investigate about the spirits do not come back, only one survivor is living up to today. The purpose of me and my dad going to swampy lake was to find that one survivor so he can tell us what sort of dangers are awaiting us in the swampy lake. We are the only ones who can retrieve the survivor as he is trapped in the swampy lake until someone pure in heart will go and take the chance and try to save him. As long as the survivor Rick is in the lake, he will never age. When we reached the lake, we decided to take a hike to the deeper into the swampy mud as they wanted to find what sorts of mystical powers dwell there. There main mission was to find Rick and to rescue him as it is said that Rick could bring people back from the dead. When they got further in, they were shocked to see Melinda and her oldest son Jesse looking for Rick! When my dad saw her there, he walked over to them and asked Melinda:" What are you guys doing here in the middle of the day?" Melinda replied solemnly:" We are here in search of Rick so we can ask of him a favor." After we discussed a few more things, we decided to join groups and go to look for Rick together. As we got deeper into the swamp, we started hearing strange sounds that are like snakes hissing and their tails rattling. Honestly, it was really scary and freaky! Finally, we stopped for a drink and some snacks. When we were ready to get up and continue the journey, I saw a bright yellow light. I wondered if it was the key to finding Rick... I quickly got up and told the others what I saw. As we quickly but yet carefully merged towards the light, we spotted a figure! We remained silent as the figure continually stepped towards us. The figure was tall and had messy hair, we also could tell that it was a man as he had a low voice as he spoke to us saying :" You have found me!" As he said this, he slowly limped towards us. =
