Small Notebook

The small notebook is a spooky story written by a member of this website named peachyinred. It’s about a young girl’s diary that was found in the woods near some abandoned houses.

A few years ago, a small notebook was found lying in a forest, near some abandoned houses. It was partially buried under a pile of leaves. The contents appeared to be the diary of a young girl.

Day 1:

Hello! My name is Sarah! I just got this new diary for my birthday. My mommy bought it for me at the store. I like my mommy. Sometimes she can be really nice. She buys me presents all the time. When I talk to my stuffed animals my mommy tells me to stop. She says its not healthy for a girl to have imaginary friends. That makes me sad. It makes my animals sad too. I have to go help my mommy make the dinner. See you tomorrow new diary!

Day 2:

When I woke up today, there was a little boy in the corner of my room. I felt scared at first but he came over to my bed and told me he was my new friend. He said he likes to watch me play outside in yard. I like my new friend. He said his name is Thomas but I can call him Tommy. He has really gross cuts on his face. I asked him where he got them from and he said my Mommy did it. That made me very angry at my mommy.

Day 3:

Tommy came again today. We played with my dolls and I asked him where he came from. He said he lives in my closet. That’s funny. I never saw him in there before. Tommy is my new best friend! I asked him where he goes to school. He said he doesn’t go to school. I asked if he wants to go to school with me tomorrow and he said yes.

Day 4:

Tommy couldn’t go to school with me because my mommy wouldn’t allow it. I begged her to let him come but she just kept saying no. That made me very sad. I asked my mommy why Tommy couldn’t come and she said he is not real. That made Tommy very angry. He said he will visit me at lunchtime.
Tommy is so nice! I can’t wait to see him!

I told my teacher Tommy was coming to visit me and she laughed and said Tommy isn’t real. That made me really sad. I told her about his cuts and she seemed worried. I don’t know why nobody likes my friend Tommy. He is my best friend! I went to the swings and he was sitting there waiting for me. He told me my mommy was really tired and she was sleeping. Tommy asked me if anyone was being mean to me. I told him my teacher didn’t think he was real. That made Tommy really mad. He said he would take care of that for me. I played with him on the swings for a while. When the bell rang, he said he would meet me at home. I can’t wait for school to end!

Day 6:

I haven’t seen my mommy since yesterday. Some policemen came and spoke to my daddy. They want to know where she is. I was going to tell them she was sleeping but Tommy told me to shut up. He said my teacher is sleeping too and he didn’t want anyone to wake them up. I asked him if my teacher believes he is real now. He said she does. That made me really happy! He said that my daddy is a stupid man for talking to the police. I told him I liked my daddy though. He said my Daddy didn’t like me. That made me really sad. Tommy said that life is sad and everyone would be much happier if they just went to sleep.

Day 7:

Tommy woke me this morning and said my dad was asleep. He told me he wanted to show me something. I got dressed and we walked to the forest behind my house. He said his mommy and daddy were sleeping so I had to be very quiet. I looked around but I couldn’t see them. He picked up a stick and tapped the ground and said his mommy and daddy were under there. I asked him why they were sleeping in the ground. Tommy said that’s the best place to sleep. He said my Daddy and mommy were sleeping in the ground too and he tapped another spot with his stick. Then, he asked me if I wanted to sleep too. I said no, I just woke up. That made him really angry. I never saw him so furious. Tommy is beginning to scare me. I don’t think I like Tommy anymore.

Day 8:

Hello, this is Tommy! Sarah can’t write in her diary, so I thought I would finish it for her. This will be the final entry.

Sarah felt really tired so I put her to sleep with her mommy and daddy. She said I was hurting her and she kicked and screamed, but after she went to sleep, she didn’t make a sound.

The ground is the best place to sleep! That’s where my pet dog is sleeping! That’s where my family is sleeping! That’s where Sarah’s parents are sleeping! That’s where my teacher Ms. Susie is sleeping!That’s where my friends Hailey, Rebecca and George are sleeping! That’s where I am sleeping!
