T h eir luxury cruise w as disaster. e fo o tin g & ta r of le a ti) By Justin nee upon a tim e there were two Vikings their names were Bogart and Bishop. They live in an abandoned gold mine with the vicious cave bats. They can always see the moonlight glaring through the holes o f the mine. There is a w indsw ept town right beside the m ine that is deserted except for one person named Steve Gremlen. Steve Gremlen is a plum p man and he wears rugged clothes that look like bats. His clothes are very rough like bat's fur. He has a beard that is so long that he trips on it and falls into the dusty ground o f the windswept town. The two Vikings always say that every night when a shooting star passes the windswept town Steve goes crazy and he goes out to look for people to kill. He doesn't stop until he kills someone. "The next shooting star is in a month on October 31" said Bogart. "Let's hope that he doesn't come down here in the mine," said Bishop. "Ya, rem em ber what happened to Granpa," said Bogart. "H e w as m urdered by Steve Gremlen," said Bishop. A s October 31 was lurking closer the two Vikings were stocking up on food for the winter. "W hat are we going to do if Steve com es in the mine on the 31 st?' Asked Bogart. "I know, how about we find some gold and give it to him if he promises not to kill us" Bishop suggested. "No way, rem em ber he's crazy, he won't go for that, plus there's no gold in this filthy old m ine anyw ay" said Bogart. "I know! How about we hide in the small part o f the cave where he w on't be able to fit." Bishop said, "No, we can't do that because he will just go through the other side." The night when the dreadful shoot ing star passed the windswept town the two Vikings saw Steve come out o f his house and he was heading straight for the mine. The Vikings went into the deepest darkest and the scariest part of the mine. They waited and waited and waited. After they got tired o f waiting for Steve they walked out o f that part of the mine and there he was standing right there. Bogart asked "What are we going to do Bishop?" Bishop said, "I don't know." As Steve was getting closer Bogart said "1 know, w e'll lead him to the place where the bats live in the deep dark gloomy hole and then we will make him walk right into the hole." Bogart and Bishop led Steve into the place where the hole was. They ran and ran and ran and finally they got to the hole. Their backs were on the jagged walls o f the mine and the hole was right in front o f them. Steve came and ran right at them. He was ju st about to grab them and he tripped on his beard and fell into the hole. The Vikings lived happily ever after without having to worry about any shooting stars. Steve was never seen again, but, the Vikings say that his spir it returns every Halloween and watches him fall into the pit of darkness. 3E£fie i f l i ^ i n g f B lo o b ^ p a c k e ts * B y Jim m y r f T f * his story takes place in New York City. New York City is very f l busy, as we all know. There are many homeless people, peopie that are wild and people that are just plain crazy. Emergency services are kept quite busy expecially around Halloween I time. On the night o f October 31 1991 the police received many calls about M a mad man who was going up to women and smelling their necks. The police hit the streets looking for the mad man. The police heard a j women let out a chilling scream. The police headed toward the scream. They had their man. His name was Victor. Victor was tall with blond hair, he had huge green J eyes with small pupils. He was acting very strange so the police decided to J bring him to the mental hospital. Mansion Lanes Mental Hospital was old and broken down, it had b ro -1 ken windows and busted heaters. The hospital was on a big hill and every- m one hated it Nurse T essa was Victor's nurse. Victor had attempted to bite T essa® on the neck many times, but failed. She was very frightened o f Victor, M so she decided that Victor needed to be put in a straight jacket. She left m the room to go get the straight jack et She gave Victor a shot which m made him sleepy. T essa returned to the room and could not find Victor. She searched 3 the hospital, with help from the police. They searched and searched for 20 minutes with no results. They started to get suspicious. They had f§ checked every room except for one. They carefully opened the door to the blood supply room. There were blood packets all over the floor with teeth marks in them. Victor g | was sitting in the comer asleep holding a blood packet in his hand. J The police realized that Victor was not a human! H e was a vampire! i The police decided to shoot him. Every night for the last three years Nurse T essa has had the ? | same nightmare. Tessa always hears Victor's scream when she J walks by the hospital. She is no longer a nurse. She is now a coach o f her son's baseball team.
