PLOT: This history began with some people who wanted to play a game, at first, they decided to play “hide and seek”, but one of them, whose name was Jackson Sangston said that he wasn’t going to play that game, his friends asked him why, and he told them that in that house a girl has died when she was playing “hide and seek”. Everyone got a bit scared, so Jackson suggested another game called “Smee”, he explained that in this game, every player is given a sheet of paper. All the sheets except one are blank. On the last sheet of paper is written "Smee". Nobody knows who "Smee" is except "Smee" himself. Then they have turn out the lights, and "Smee" hides. After a time the others go off to search for "Smee" When one player meets another he challenges him by saying, "Smee”, if he is the real "Smee" doesn't answer when someone challenges. The second player stays quietly beside him. This goes on until all the players are in the same place. The last one to find "Smee" has to pay a forfeit.

They began to play and once, the narrator thought that he found Smee, because he had touched a person, but the environment with that person was a bit strange, and he asked the person what her name was, and the person said that she was Brenda Ford, but then, another person found them and they were waiting the rest of players. After an hour more or less, the other players were searching them, so they went with them, and one player asked them where they have been, and the narrator said that they have been with a girl called Brenda Ford, and Jackson told them that it was impossible, the narrator said that he had touched her, so why couldn’t be Brenda Ford, and Jackson said that Brenda was the girl who had died in that house.

PERSONAL OPINION I liked this story because the author has known how tell us the history to scared us, because he described so good the house, characters, feelings of the narrator, and so on. But also, I think that this story is quite predictable, but nonetheless, the history scared me so much.

PERSONAL OPINION I liked this history but less than “Smee”, because in this story, the author has written a lot about the introduction but about the scary part, he has written not enough in my opinion. But this history, has scared me too.
