Chapter 29: Blind Mice

Good Hills High School, an educational institution known for its academic excellence and illustrious history. The school was founded over a century ago and has produced some of the country's brightest minds, but it also harbors a dark secret that has been kept hidden from the public for years.

Rumor has it that the school is haunted by the ghosts of several female students who died tragically in a fire that broke out in the science lab during a class experiment. The incident occurred in the 1950s, and since then, the school has been plagued by strange occurrences that cannot be explained. Students have reported hearing ghostly whispers in the hallways, and some claim to have seen apparitions of young girls with white eyes, wandering the school grounds.

However, these stories were mostly dismissed as mere superstition until a series of incidents occurred that left the students and staff of Good Hills High School in shock and fear. The first case was reported by a senior student named Akira, who was studying in the library late at night. She claimed that she saw a white-eyed girl staring at her through the window. Akira was frightened by the sight but shrugged it off as her imagination playing tricks on her.

The next day, however, Akira's eyesight began to deteriorate, and she started having trouble seeing objects that were right in front of her. She went to the school nurse, who examined her and found nothing wrong with her eyes. Akira was referred to an ophthalmologist, who also could not explain the sudden onset of blindness. She was eventually forced to drop out of school as her condition worsened, leaving her family and friends bewildered and desperate for answers.

It wasn't long before similar cases began to surface throughout the school. Other students who claimed to have seen the white-eyed girls also reported experiencing blindness shortly after the sightings. The school authorities were baffled and alarmed by the sudden outbreak of blindness and began investigating the matter.

The investigation led them to discover that all the affected students had one thing in common- they were all studying or doing homework alone when the sightings occurred. This led the authorities to believe that the ghosts of the deceased students were somehow targeting individuals who were isolated and vulnerable.

The school was closed temporarily as the authorities conducted a thorough investigation. They discovered that the fire that caused the death of the students was caused by a faulty electrical wire that ignited chemicals stored in the lab. They also found evidence that the school had covered up the incident to avoid damaging their reputation.

The authorities concluded that the ghosts of the deceased students were seeking revenge for the school's negligence and lack of accountability. The spirits were believed to be trapping students who were alone and turning them blind as a form of punishment.

The school board immediately took action and decided to seek the help of paranormal experts and spiritual leaders to put an end to the haunting. They also reached out to the families of the deceased students to apologize and offer compensation for the tragedy that had befallen them.

The paranormal experts arrived at the school and conducted several rituals and exorcisms to rid the school of the spirits. The rituals were intense, and the experts claimed to have felt the presence of the ghosts during the ceremonies.

The school was reopened a month later, and the authorities announced that the ghosts had been exorcised and that the school was now safe for students and staff. However, the incident had left a mark on the school and the surrounding community, and the students who had been affected by the blindness were never the same again.

Akira, the first student to be affected, never regained her sight and had to learn how to live her life as a blind person. She eventually became an advocate for the rights of people with disabilities

and worked towards creating awareness about the challenges faced by those who are differently-abled. She visited schools and universities across the country and gave motivational speeches, inspiring many young people to persevere and overcome their limitations.

Meanwhile, the school authorities decided to preserve the memory of the deceased students by creating a memorial in their honor. The memorial was a beautiful garden with a statue of the students in the center, and it became a place of pilgrimage for the families and friends of the deceased.

The incident also sparked a debate about the importance of accountability and transparency in educational institutions. The government introduced new regulations that made it mandatory for schools to report all incidents, accidents, and emergencies that occur on their premises. Schools were also required to undergo regular safety audits, and strict penalties were imposed on those who failed to comply with the new regulations.

Years went by, and the incident at Good Hills High School gradually became a distant memory. The school continued to produce excellent students, and it remained a beacon of hope and inspiration for generations to come. However, every now and then, there were rumors of ghost sightings, and some claimed to have seen the white-eyed girls wandering the corridors of the school.

Some students even reported experiencing strange phenomena, such as flickering lights, doors slamming shut on their own, and books falling off shelves. But the school authorities dismissed these claims as mere superstitions, and life at Good Hills High School continued as usual.

In the end, the incident at Good Hills High School became a cautionary tale, a reminder of the importance of accountability, transparency, and the need to honor the memory of those who have passed on. The tragedy was a reminder that our actions have consequences, and that we must always strive to do better, to create a better world for ourselves and for those who come after us.

As the sun set over the school, casting long shadows over the corridors and classrooms, the ghosts of the white-eyed girls remained a mystery, a legend that would continue to haunt the imagination of generations to come. But for those who had experienced their wrath, their memory would remain a vivid and terrifying reminder of the power of the supernatural, and the importance of respecting the spirits that watch over us.
