The magic mask

“The magic mask”

In the central Taiwan, there was a haunted house near ChiaYi City. People were afraid of going inside. One day, Mark broke inside, but he could find nothing. “I don’t think there is a ghost here.” As he looked around, nothing could scare him except a mask hanging on the wall.

He was peculiar, and took mask down from the wall. At that time, he seemed to here some voices. But he looked around, nothing was different. The voice was just right beside him, he noticed. He thought for a second, might it be this mask, which lay quietly at his hand.

Without thinking further, Mark put the mask on his face. There was something happening. He felt his skin growing some kind of hair. All his body was transforming. He was shocking by himself. He knew he had become a different creature. He tried to take the mask off, but he couldn’t. The mask had attached to his face.

Mark tried to run, but he stopped. He didn’t want to scare other people. He felt he had enormous strength inside his body. He grew higher than his normal size. He found a seat against the wall. It needed couples hour for the sky to get dark. He sat for a time being. But a strange thing happened.

Mark’s hairs retreated and his skin became smooth. It took a minute, he transformed back as he was. He took the mask off his face and put it back to the wall. It was too thrilling, but he stayed there and wondered what would happen if he wore that mask again.

With a little of doubt, Mark put on the mask. Then, his skin rough and hair grew anywhere of his body. His felt his strength. He ran to the backyard and lifted a big rock at will. He knew he was different, but his mind kept as the same. He didn’t stay too long, but left the haunted house with glee.

One storming night, Mark was alone at home. There was a knocking on the door. “Who’s this?” Mark asked. “We have a patient, who got hurt and is dying.” A man cried. “Quickly, open the door and give him some water.” Mark opened the door, but there was a push.

“Who are you?” Mark frightened, as he saw they carrying with gun. “Don’t say any word, or I’ll treat you with bullet.” Two men hustled in and tied Mark with rope. “Where is the money?” one man asked. “I don’t know?” Mark answered and got beat badly. “My parents hid them in the bedroom. It seemed they hid in the wardrobe.”

They kept searching all over the bedroom and put some jewels on their bags. Mark asked one of the bandits, “would you put the mask on my face? I don’t want to see you robbing my house.” What mask?” one bandit asked. “The one hangs on the wall.” “This is a strange one. I also don’t want see a crying face.” They put the magic mask on his face.

“What is this?” bandits hailed. A monster appeared from the place where Mark stayed. Two bandits were knocked down on the floor and fainted. Mark hurried up to the haunted house and sat the chair to return his origin. When he came home, he called the police to catch these two bandits.

Mark told policemen and his parents that a guy saved him and left without a trace. Mark didn’t want anyone knew his magic mask. The bandits said a monster knocked them down, but nobody believed them. “They probably didn’t see him clearly.” Mark insisted. After this incidence, Mark understood what he had to do with the magic mask. He decided to help others in a secret.

The end.
