英语灵异故事-Dark Falls Elementary (黑暗降临小学)014

He wiped sweat¹ of his face. It had to be at least ninety degrees right now. He pulled off the last board and pushed at the glass window he uncovered². It opened with an eerie³, creak. "Let me go in first," he said, " just so I can make sure it is safe."

　　He turned on his stomach and pushed himself in the window. Right as he did the window slammed⁴ shut. I ran over to it and pushed it. It wouldn't open. I couldn't even see him in there. It was completely⁵ dark. I took out my flashlight and shined it up to the window, but that wasn't any good. I threw my whole weight against the window, but nothing would make it open. Alex had taken the crowbar inside with him, so I could try breaking the window. Besides, the glass was way to thick.

　　I heard a scream from inside, then a cry. It was Alex! I started screaming and crying. Then I turned and ran. Through the forest, and all the way to my house.

他把脸上的汗擦掉。现在的气温至少有90度。他把最后一块木板拉了出来，推开露出来的那扇玻璃窗。窗户发出格格的声响，很是诡异。他说：“让我先进去，这样才能确保安全。”

　　他用腹部抵着窗台往前挪动，硬从窗口挤了进去。他刚进去，窗户就猛地关上了。我跑过去想要推开窗户，但是却打不开。我甚至看不到他在里面的情况，里面漆黑一片。我拿出手电筒，照向窗户，但是并没有多大效果。我整个人向窗户撞去，但是无论如何也打不开它。Alex带着铁橇进去了，所以我也不能打破窗户，而且玻璃也太厚了。

　　我听到里面传出一声尖叫，随后听到了哭喊声。那是Alex的声音！我也开始尖叫哭喊起来。我转过身，奔跑起来，穿过树林，一直跑到家里。
