AUDIO RECORDING 01

 *silence*

.... *sighs* ...It's been about a week since my best friend died. His name was Jaydon Owens. Blonde hair, bright blue eyes and always wore the biggest of grins on his face. The moron was always such a clown, always playing tricks and making jokes. He pissed me off sometimes, but he was the best friend a guy could have. 

*sighs* ... This is stupid. How is this supposed to help? I'm not a chick. 

*silence*

Whatever.... Might as well. Jaydon always loved playing sports. Specifically winter sports, but you still didn't wanna go up against him in track or something. From what I've heard he was pretty popular with the girls at school and flirted quite often, but he always remained faithful to Bryanna Seeder, his girlfriend. 

*pauses*
 But like I said.... He's dead now.

*silence*

... How he died? How's that supposed to help?

*silence*

... Guilt? *sighs* I guess. It was me, Jaydon, Bryanna and Chris. We all went into the forest behind Jaydon's house to mess around in the snow. It was right after that huge snowstorm we had, so the snow was everywhere. And of course, Jaydon wanted to be the first one in. He convinced us all and last Saturday we went. Stupidest idea of our life.

*silence*  

Shut the fuck up.... I'm not taking any of this bullshit. You want me to say all this shit or not?

*silence*

... That's what I thought. Anyway... We all went tromping though the woods and eventually came across this pond. We'd all been there before. Fishing, swimming, all that stuff. But because it was winter, logically it was frozen over. And we all decided to go skating, even though we were only in our boots. Jaydon was the first one on. Immediately started showing off again and then... The ice cracked. Jaydon fell through.

*silence*

No.

*silence*

I never said that.

*silence*

Shut the fuck up! I'm done with you!

AUDIO RECORDING 02

 

... I'm supposed to log how I 'feel' on here, right? Well right now I'm fucking confused. They went to go get Jaydon's body from the pond, ‘cause everything was melting. And it was like... Gone.

*sighs* It's not like it floated away or something. But.... *sighs* I don't fucking know. I just hope nobody took him or anything.... We just need to say goodbye.

AUDIO RECORDING 03

 

He's still missing. I haven't been sleeping much and I think it’s starting to get to me. I coulda sworn I saw Jaydon, 'cept he had black eyes and white hair. He was standing outside the math class window. 

*pauses* 

...I'm probably just hallucinating or something. Post-traumatic stress disorder. Don't even know why I'm recording this. It's stupid

*end of recording*

 

AUDIO RECORDING 04

 

I think…. I think I’m going to start bringing this stupid ass recorder with me wherever I go now.

*pauses* 

….. Alright, so I swear I keep seeing the messed up version of Jaydon everywhere I go. He’s usually just kinda standing there, looking at me but today… He spoke to me. We had a full on conversation and shit, but I can’t remember a word that was said. It’s like… The sound was removed from that memory or something. *sighs* I just… Can’t shake the feeling that whatever we said was really important.

And I guess this will tell me if it’s just a hallucination as well. If I record it again and it’s only me speaking… *sighs* 

*silence*

*static starts playing*

How ….c-…. leave……?

*end of recording*

 

AUDIO RECORDING 05

 
*heavy breathing* 

H-Holy fuck… I…

*pauses* 

They just found Chris dead. He’s… Dead. Gone.

*silence*

Apparently his mom found him dead in the bathtub this morning. Drowned. But… How? He never takes baths. But… The entire tub was full of water. Did he slip and fall or…?

*heavy breathing* 

Gah… I gotta calm down. This isn’t helping at all. Stop freaking out man…. It could have happened to anyone. He probably slipped and fell. Hit his head while the water was running. I don’t fucking know….

*silence* 

How could this happen?

*end of recording*

 

AUDIO RECORDING 06

 

*static*

You left me. 

*silence*

You left me to die. 

*silence*

You saved yourself instead. 

*silence*

*warped laughing*

Revenge my friend…. Isn’t it sweet?

*static* 

*end of recording*

 

AUDIO RECORDING 07

 

I…. I just found that other recording. I didn’t put it there. Nobody else has had access to the recorder.

*pauses*

And…. Bryanna is dead. She was found at the bottom of her family’s indoor pool last night.

*silence*  

…. Why is this happening? If this is some sort of prank... It's not funny.

*static* 

…. That voice. It sounded like Jaydon.

AUDIO RECORDING 09

 

*silence*

*A door opens, footsteps across snow* 

*static*

….Close….er…. Almost th..ere….. 

*silence*

The pond?! Why did you bring me here? Just leave me alone! 

*ice cracking*

Jaydon…? What the hell?

*static*

It’s yo…ur fault. H….ow could…. you leave me? 

*silence*

*ice cracking* 

*screaming*

*splashing, followed by gurgled words* 

*muffled pounding*

*silence* 

*warped laughing*

This is your punishment, my dear friend…. You left me to die. And now you can stay down here with me forever! 

*silence*

Aw, don’t go complaining now…. After all, what’s so bad about a little ice?
