Resurrection! It's a shame to break my word that I would write an essay on itaki every day... It's been two days without taking down anything. Nonetheless, I have fortunately gone over all those negative emotions, which I would largely attribute to the "haunted school" I visited yesterday. I have passed by that haunted school several times, but never had the guts to step in. Yesterday, after having lunch with two of my classmates back in junior high, whom I had hardly heard from, we made an incredible decision: visiting the haunted school. Given that none of us are bold enough to finish the tour alone, we paid extra fee in order not to be sparated by "ghosts". The beginning was a little bit silly. We saw a spooky girl sitting on the bench in the corrider, with her unkempt hair covering her entire face. We were too scared to walk through in front of her, so we tried to negotiate, expecting her to rise on her feet, instead of catching us off guard. Well, she would never respond. It took us a long time of hesitation to make perfectly sure, she was merely a dummy. As we walked deeper into that school, the thrilling sound, abrupt move of "real ghosts"and shimmering blood-red light all added to our fear. We kept murmuring the incantation to prevent ghosts from getting close. That was, to be honest, a little bit exhausting. And in most cases, the ghost looked not frightening anymore after his unexpected appearance. So once when a ghost followed me closely, wielding a blunt chopper at me, ostensibly at full tilt, of course never really landing on my arm, I decided to play a trick - I rubbed his head. I was quite puzzled by my behavior either, but it just happened. I could sense that he was struck dumb for an instant, but in no time realised what he was, and roared at me in a hysterical way. I had no choice but keep apologizing, but he just wouldn't stop! Scared to death... We bought some cold drinks after leaving, trying to chill out a little. I could feel epinephrine surging in my vain, and the downbeat mood that had bothered me for a long time was completely knocked out of my mind.
