Late one dark and rainy Halloween night a man was walking home alone
when he hears behind him .......
BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...
Walking faster he looks back, and makes out the image of an upright
coffin banging its way down the middle of the street toward him
BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...
Terrified, the man begins to run towards his home, The coffin bouncing
quickly behind him ...faster...faster...
BUMP...
BUMP...
BUMP...
He runs up to his door, fumbles with his keys, opens the door, rushes
in, slams and locks the door behind him. However ...the coffin crashes
through his door,
with the lid of the coffin clapping ...
clappity...
BUMP...
clappity...
BUMP...
clappity...
BUMP...
clappity...
BUMP...
At the heels of the terrified man....
Rushing upstairs to the bathroom at the end of the hall, he locks
himself in. His heart is pounding; his head is reeling; his breath is
coming in sobbing gasps...then ...With a loud CRASH the coffin starts
breaking down the door. Bumping and clapping towards him. The man
screams and reaches for something heavy,
Anything
His hand comes to rest on a large bottle of
ROBITUSSIN .
Desperate, he throws the Robitussin as hard as he can at the apparition,
and...
The coffin stops.
A Halloween Story...
