The Four Corners Game

CREEPY: Perform at your own risk: the game is called "4 corners". You need: 3 people, small empty room, no lights.

How to do it:
1. Perform in abandoned, old places. Choose a suitable room.

2. Clear all furniture near the walls. Have 3 people face 3 different corners, leaving a 4th corner vacant.

3. In complete darkness, you (any player) will start to move from your corner by moving along the wall to the left. Always to the left. You will tap the next person to signal that you will now occupy their corner.

4. Do not move to the next corner until you feel a tap on your right side. If a person taps you, the person tapping you will occupy your corner. You will need to move along the wall to the left and occupy another person's corner. Do not move if you are tapped from the left side. That is not a player.

5. If you reach a corner without a person, continue left until the next person. It is expected that all will experience a vacant corner per cycle.

6. No one talks and everything is done in complete darkness and in silence.

7. Repeat until you experience something: you may start to notice that all corners are now occupied with a "4th player" joining you. Or you may end up getting to too many corners without people - either your friends are missing or you are missing. You may end up touching something that doesn't feel human at all. Someone may be tapping you from the left. It varies.

8. Turn on the lights for any emergencies.

So there you have it. Anyone care to try this? Please comment your experiences. Thanks!

A/N: Found this article in a Facebook group. I'm familiar with this game, in fact it was used as a plot for a horror manga I read when I was a kid.

Not sure where was the origin of this game, but apparently as the story goes back then, a group of hikers got lost while hiking which resulted to one of them died due to the elements. They managed to find shelter in a cabin, but it was so cold that if they ever fall asleep, they will surely die.

So they tried this game to keep themselves awake and warm, not realizing that an extra person mysteriously appeared to keep the game going, but they managed to survive the night until rescue arrive. Some speculate that it could be their dead hiker friend coming to their aid and joined in the game to save their lives...

A Wish Come True (A Short Story)

I woke up with a start when I found myself in a very unfamiliar place. The bed I was lying on was grand—an English-quilting blanket and 2 soft pillows with flowery laces. The whole place was fit for a king! Suddenly the door opened and there stood my dream prince: Katsuya Kimura! I gasped in astonishment for he was actually a cartoon character. I did not know that he really exist. “Wake up, dear,” he said and pulled off the blanket and handed it to a woman who looked like the maid. “You will be late for work.” “Work?” I asked. “Yes! Work! Have you forgotten your own comic workhouse, baby dear?” Comic workhouse?! I…I have became a cartoonist? That was my wildest dreams! Being a cartoonist! I undressed and changed into my beige T-shirt and black trousers at once and hurriedly finished my breakfast. Katsuya drove me to the workhouse. My, my, was it big! I’ve never seen a bigger place than this! Katsuya kissed me and said, “See you at four, OK, baby?” I blushed scarlet. I always wan...

Hans and Hilda

Once upon a time there was an old miller who had two children who were twins. The boy-twin was named Hans, and he was very greedy. The girl-twin was named Hilda, and she was very lazy. Hans and Hilda had no mother, because she died whilst giving birth to their third sibling, named Engel, who had been sent away to live wtih the gypsies. Hans and Hilda were never allowed out of the mill, even when the miller went away to the market. One day, Hans was especially greedy and Hilda was especially lazy, and the old miller wept with anger as he locked them in the cellar, to teach them to be good. "Let us try to escape and live with the gypsies," said Hans, and Hilda agreed. While they were looking for a way out, a Big Brown Rat came out from behind the log pile. "I will help you escape and show you the way to the gypsies' campl," said the Big Brown Rat, "if you bring me all your father's grain." So Hans and Hilda waited until their father let them out, ...
