One Halloween night, after all the little boys and girls went home, a girl named Kaela was still running about. She was wearing black shoes, black leggings, and a black leather jacket. She called herself a "beast-ninja." She would tip-toe around, trying to scare people, but tonight no one was outside. She looked around and was very confused. She decided to venture up to a house at the top of the hill.In this house lived an old man named Phil, who wasn't very social. She knocked and there was no answer. She knocked again, still no answer.She pushed on the door and it opened. she hesitated for a minute, but then walked in. She looked around for awhile downstairs, but then decided to go to the second level. The stairs creaked with every step she took. She started to check all the rooms for Phil, but could not find him. She went to the end of the hall and checked the last room and there he was. He was sitting in a rocking chair with a pencil and notepad in his lap. He looked over at her with a confused look and asked, "Who are you?"
She paused and then began to ramble, saying, "I am Kaela. I was Trick or Treating. Do you go Trick or Treating? No, never mind your too old. I heard your name is Phil. Is your name Phil? I hope so, otherwise this would be awkward." He looked at her strangely and then asked her if she wanted to hear a story. It was now very late and Kaela was a little frightened, but she said OK. He then started his story. It was scary and demented. In the middle of his story, he got up and shut the door. Kaela flinched as she heard it slam. Throughout the story, Kaela realized that this wasn't just a story that he was telling. It was a book that he was in the process of writing. She saw the title page on the notepad that was previous in his lap. He was using her to live out his book. He didn't have an ending written out, but Kaela knew that the end of the book would be written by the end of the night. She turned to look at Phil and he was staring at her, holding a pocket knife in his right hand.
He looked at the knife and said, "So, do you think you know how my story will end?" He had a creep grin on his face and he chuckled a little.
Kaela then replied, "Yes, but it's different than you planned."
"How so?" he said in a sarcastic tone.
"Well I'm not exactly sure, but it will."
"Hmm?" Just then, Phil charged at her with his knife. She quickly moved out of the path of the knife. She picked up the wooden chair she was sitting in and swung it at Phil. She hit him a couple times, and he was quite dizzy. She started to run around the room and he chased her. He said that he would kill her the first chance he got, whether it was tonight, or any other night. She grabbed the glass lap next to the bed and whacked him over the head. He fell unconscious onto the bed. She tied him to the bed, and started a fire on the bed, in the kitchen, and in the living room. She then ran out of the house and watched it burn for a few minutes. She then left the yard, and vowed to never speak of that Halloween night.
