The Last Halloween

She was 15 and felt she was too old to trick or treat, but her parents urged her to go anyway. She dressed up in a classic Jack O'lantern costume she made with her mom and headed out with her friends. While going door to door collecting treats, one of the girls suggested they go to the old creepy house at the end of the road. Not wanting to admit being afraid, everyone agreed to go.

As they stood on the porch looking at the old creepy house, the girl decided she would go ahead and try to open the door. To their surprise, the door opened easily and they entered the house. This was the biggest in the neighborhood and it sat empty for as long as memory served. The small group of girls stood in the vast entryway looking around in the darkness that surrounded them. Too bad no one had a flashlight.

The girl couldn't see clearly and she tried to reach for her friend that was to her left, but her friend was of course gone. Typical of a creepy house on Halloween night, what else could she have expected considering? So the girl reached out to her friend on her right, and she too was gone. Shit, it was dark and now she was standing there all alone.

Suddenly she heard screams in the distance echoing throughout the house. Just before she could turn toward the door, something sharp sliced her calves, then her back, and pulled her by her hair. The unseen attacker drug her deep into the darkness of the house. She knew she should've stayed home...
