The Haunted House - A Halloween Story

One scary night, I was with my 10 friends, trick-or-treating.
Then, we noticed a house.

We decided to go inside.
We opened the door and went inside.
The door slammed shut!
Suddenly, Ben fell down.
Now we screamed and started running like maniacs.

Then we saw stairs.
Tyler stepped on the first step.
The step went up, then down.
Tyler was gone!
We skipped the first step.

Then we went to the 3rd floor.
When we got to the top we turned right.
Then we got to a monster room.
It was completely dark so we went inside.
But 6 of my friends stopped. So did I.
But Cody went inside.
He missed a 52' bright flashing neon sign that said
"Enter and be electrocuted."
And Cody got electrocuted.

So we went past the room.
Then a fog filled the air.
A figure loomed over us.
We turned slowly.
I can't tell you what it looked like,
for as it would give you nightmares.

But I know 1 thing: we ran.
We ran and ran and ran.
But  when I looked back they were gone.
But I kept running.
But I had to stop.
A dead end blocked me with only a window to escape.
Since I didn't want to be eaten,
I jumped out the window.

As I went past the second floor window,
I saw a witch which cast 2 spells:
1.  To make me remember everything, and
2.  reverse time.

And so, time reversed.
Past me jumping,
past the 7 of us running,
past Cody being electrocuted,
past  us watching Tyler on the first step,
past Ben falling down,
past everything until we were back on the sidewalk, trick-or-treating.

And that's when my friends noticed the house (again).
I said, "Go ahead. I'm not coming."
And I watched them go inside.
I saw Cade (right next door) slam the door shut.
I went right over to him.
Cade said, "So you were the last survivor?"
"Yep," I said.
And the two of us went trick-or-treating together.

This is my story... or is it?
