480 - The mystery of Toby's room.

When Mrs Walden stopped over the welcome mat of her house to open the door, she noticed that the door had been forced and that it was mid-open.

When she came in, Mrs Walden felt that her whole world had fallen apart, because her clean and perfect house was mess; so she, terrified, started to call for her son, Toby, while she checked out the rest of the house.

"Toby?!!" She called him, while she checked the kitchen and walked over the broken pieces of her Chinese tableware that were all over the floor.

"Toby?!!" She called him, while she checked the sitting room, and saw all her furniture teared and broken.

"Toby?!!" She called him, while she went upstairs, leaning herself against the wall, because the stairs were missing some steps and the railing had gone missing.

"Toby?! Are you here?!" She called him again, reaching the little boy's room; and when she laid her hand over the knob...

"Don't go in there, mommy!!!"

"TOBY!" Screamed Mrs Walden, turning back and finding his son standing in the middle of the corridor, all dirty and untidy, pointing straight to his room's door.

"Don't go in there, mommy" he kept saying while his mother ran to him to hug him and kiss him "Don't go in there..."

"Are you all right, darling? What happened here?" Asked Mrs Walden to her son.

"Don't go in there, mommy..."

"But, why, son? What's in there? Tell mommy."

"Don't go in there, mommy..."

Mrs Walden did not spend a second wondering what was inside Toby's room, and acting quickly, she grab her son, hopped into her car and drive away from that house, and to today's date, after fifteen years,  Mrs Walden can still hear Toby saying in his sleep "Don't go in there, mommy..." every time he has a nightmare.

The end.
