Spooky Story
Room 3:33
Monday, October 31, 3:33 a.m. Wilberthano wakes up because his door slams shut. He thinks it was just the wind—or at least, that’s what he tells himself.
Wilberthano is a 14-year-old kid who goes to Providence High School. He is a brave kid, but at school, he gets bullied. He and his friend Neuracle have a tradition every day in October: they Facetime and tell each other spooky stories. Wilberthano was the best at that, like in wrestling, where all the stories he tells seem to parallel his own.
But how could Wilberthano be the main character of a spooky story?
Sunday, October 30
Wilberthano is at home, waiting for Halloween. Everything is fine, and he goes to sleep.
But then, he wakes up because his door slams shut. He thinks it was the wind, but all the windows were closed. When he checks the time, it is exactly 3:33 a.m., and he hears someone whispering his name.
Wilberthano goes back to bed and starts praying. Then, he hears it again. Something touches his feet. When he looks down, he sees his little sister standing there, staring at him. Wilberthano, afraid, starts laughing nervously—when suddenly, something turns off the lights…
The Next Day
Every day at lunchtime, kids like Floros and Camila take Wilberthano’s lunch, leaving him with nothing to eat. They also force him to do their homework. One day, Wilberthano refuses. They start to fight, but Wilberthano is a really good fighter—because his dad is the famous fighter “El Conejo,” and he taught his son everything he knows.
