I remember that when I was younger, my friends and I had parties. Generally we would stay up around 3:00 AM when about 4 of us where awake and say scary stories. Of course these won't have much effect on you, probably none, however for me, this stuff almost seems possible considering where I currently live.

Imagine you're home alone. You're bored, you're computer won't work, none of your friends are home and the only thing to do is look out through the window. You sit there and stare. You see something pacing back and forth under the street light. Your interest is caught and you focus on it. Suddenly it stops and stares straight at you. It runs up your driveway. Horrified, you run to your bed since you have nothing to fight back with. You must hide. The sound of your front door begins to rattle. It stops. You hear the door creek open.

[center]I feel like continuing your post. I'm a terrible writer, but here goes.

Footsteps in the hallway, a knock at your bedroom door. Inaudible sounds come from behind the door, but you don't dare answer. More sounds from behind the door, and again all you can do is hold your breath. Hiding under the bed, you hear the footsteps retreat. After waiting for what seemed hours you slide from your dusty refuge into the darkened room. Slowly looking around your room, you come to the window. In the darkness outside, there's a face staring back at you. You quickly look away. Convincing yourself that there was nothing there, you force your eyes to look back. Just as you had thought, nothing but a moonlit tree shadow.

A musty scent lingers in the hallway, you feel a slight wetness through your socks. Slowly making your way to the front door, carefully peering around each corner, the air gets colder by the step. Finally you see the door, wide open, wind blowing into the house. Slowly approaching the door, your mind playing tricks, you think "Is it still out there?" You slam the door shut so hard that the windows shake. As you lock the door, a gust of warm air blows around your legs.

"What... What was that?" You say to the empty room. You try to convince yourself it was all a dream as you stumble to the kitchen. You search for the light switch but when you finally find it, nothing turns on. You try to apply logic the situation, "The power must be out..." You need light, light is saftey. Tearing through drawers, you search for a flashlight, a candle, anything... But find nothing. You remember there's a lantern in the garage. You step to the front door, but can't find it in you to open it. Thinking about the situation, you push yourself out. "The only way to light, the only way to saftey is through this door."

...And I've lost it. Alright, I'm done with this for now.

Interesting, and yet again, interesting. I don't want to tell the story, yet this story looks like it's made for little kids who would place a flashlight under their chin while facing them. Too bad I'm not a kid, but either way, I'm not scared. tongue.gif

Can we put like a funny twist on it? It doesn't have to be serious does it? I'll assume it doesn't.

As you open the door and step outside you see torches, and you wonder what is going on. You continue looking around and you notice people, but they're not like normal people, they are MIDGETS (omg midgets scare me)!!! You start to laugh, but as suddenly as you started you stop because you realize they are all wielding knives. They slowly encircle you, while you stand just staring.. Suddenly they all let out an ear piercing scream and run, for a second you wonder why, then you see it, something worse than you had ever imagined looming in the dark.

In the darkness... You see... A face... Its really there, looking you in the eyes. You suddenly feel a chill. A figure begins to emerge from the shadows.

"HAHAHAHA, OH MY GOD, YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN YOUR F*%@ING FACE MAN!!"

"okay what the f&%$ is going on George!?"

"I hired all these midgets to come out here," George says as he puts his elbow on one's head and leans on it."you gotta lighten up dawgg. alright guys, i'll send you your checks in the morning."

They cry out 'YAY' as they start walking away, taking the torches. George walks over to a fuse box by the garage. As he flips a few switches, light beams out from the house.

"Come on George, lets go inside, its getting cold."

"Alright my jizzle. I'll make some popcorn and invite over the rest of the group."

"okay..." as you walk into the house........
