A KID WHO WANTS TO PLAY

2 years ago , one day me and my three best friends ( Ranadheer , Hemanth and Akshith) were playing a game of business and laughing and making jokes talking about secrets and other fun stuff then after some time we heard a kid crying and we thought that it was the neighbors we started a new game called Cluedo. After an hour we heard that sound again so we took our torches and went to see where the sound was coming from when we reached the neighbor’s house the sound suddenly stopped then to see why the sound stopped we ventured into the yard where the sound had come from so we jumped over the fence and looked and then we saw a shadow of a baby child standing on his two feet when we went close to see who he was the shadow had disappeared we began our way home on the way home various thoughts were running in our minds. The next morning our neighbour came to our house her name was Rema she works in my school so she was asking me about the sound of the child shouting and screaming like he was enjoying something. We were astonished when the sound came from her backyard she was asking us why that sound was coming but at that time we were also petrified that the boy had dissappered into thin air when we arrived so we told the same thing to her. In the night, we heard the same sound coming from our backyard we tiptoed and went to our back door. We horrified to see the child playing with my light tennis ball when he saw us he came closer and closer and closer we then went back to my room and slept thinking it was a hallucination. The next day we went to the local library and searched for the former residents information then we found a family that lived where I lived when we saw the photo of the couple we saw the kid which we saw the previous days we found that the child had died in the age of 5 years because the parents had killed the child as the didn’t want him to be in the family we were so astonished that how can the parents be so cruel to their own blood. The next day we saw him play with the board coins we decide to make peace and play with him he was happy that we had played with him he said that he was a ghost trying to get revenge on his parent to kill them as they did to him.
THE END

Please use sentences and paragraphs. Your story is hard to read like this. Also, using a few stereotypes like ghosts and murder hardly turns a story into a horror one. Perhaps you should work more on your stories before publishing them.
