[ WP ] You thought about moving away for a long time . Today you finally pack your bags .

The decision I was about to follow through with had been 2 years in the making. Initially, I'd convinced myself that the house was exactly how I'd wanted it to be, but only now was I able to realise that all this time I was just protecting myself from the truth of the matter, which was that I'd wasted a good fortune seeking a thrill, only for it to not even come close to my expectations at the end of it all. None the less, four years was no short period of time and it only felt right to leave my companions, at the house, a note bidding them farewell. 
 
 *'' Dear Augustus, Quincy, and Sylvia, * 
 
 *If you happen to be reading this, it means I've left the house for good and have no intentions of returning, ever. I would say it's not because of something you've done and that it's a decision I've made due to personal circumstances, however, quite frankly, that would not be true. * 
 
 *When I first saw the advertisement about a haunted apartment up for sale, with pictures of the ghosts ( you guys ) and all as proof, I was thrilled. At the time, my life was quite mundane; the business was booming, I was getting richer, and that was just about it. So naturally, this felt like a perfect opportunity to change things up. * 
 
 *It was a win-win situation, really. Either, I would stay at the house for a couple of months, get the life scared out of me, and leave with some great stories to tell or if not that, perhaps a ghost would make me say goodbye to this well lived life and guide me over to paradise, for me to live my next one. * 
 
 *Unfortunately, the three of you did n't manage to accomplish either of those two for me. Instead you've left me feeling as if I've wasted two years of my life, and though I did n't have anything spectacular planned for them, I ca n't help but feel bitter. I'm a businessman after all. * 
 
 *I wo n't deny that you tried to serve your purpose by coming up with plans to horrify me, however, they were just executed so poorly that I could n't help but wonder if all ghosts were astoundingly incompetent or if I'd just had the misfortune of coming across the only three who were. * 
 
 *Now, I'm not writing this to merely insult you. If I were you I'd treat it more as constructive criticism, in case someone does decide to rent out this house after me. Let's take it from the start. * 
 
 *The bloodstain on the carpet when I first moved in. Everyone and their mothers' have read The Canterville Ghost. The worst part is n't even that you copied the same tactic, it's that you obviously went through the book yourself and ignored the fact that the tactic did n't work out at all for the Ghost of Canterville. The lesson to be learnt here is be original, but more importantly, do n't be stupid. * 
 
 *Next, the fact that your classic scary attires look like white bedsheets with holes for eyes. I stopped myself from laughing the first 4 times I came across the three of you just so you would n't feel bad. It was almost like you were pretending to be ghosts. * 
 
 *On the note of pretending, the howls and the shrieks and the screams. They had no heart in them. You've got to make them real guys. Maybe some vocal lessons will help. * 
 
 *Overall, this has been quite a disappointing experience for me as I'm sure you can already tell. * 
 
 *None the less, I wish you all well and hope one day, you learn enough to be able to take revenge on me for the absolutely disgusting review I'll be leaving for the house. *

 Did n't proofread so the tenses and grammar are probably incorrect in some places.
