As the dark rain clouds lingered overhead and the light breeze turned into a violent wind, I tried to think of an excuse that could get me out of my plans for the night. I had a sick feeling in this pit of my stomach, but I began getting prepared anyhow. Before I got into the shower I heard my phone start to ring.
“Hello?” I said
“Hi David, it is Mark. I just wanted to make sure that you are still coming tonight.”
“Yeah, I will be there,” I answered.
“Okay, see you then.” he said and hung up. As I got out of the shower, I heard a loud “bang!” come from downstairs. “Who is there?” I yelled, with all the confidence I could muster.

“What is this?” I asked Mark.
“Well,” He started to answer “You know how my family really enjoys decorating the house for Halloween?” “My dad thought it would be a good idea to get more realistic decorations this year”
I started laughing and said “Wow, you guys are really good actors” as my heart rate began to stabilize. “You guys almost tricked me,” I added.
“It is not a joke,” Craig blurted out.
“Very funny. You guys can stop pretending to be injured now,” I told them.
As I turned to help Timmy and Craig off of the ground I felt a sharp pain in my sides and I crumpled over onto the floor in pain.
“Mark?” I asked now realizing that it really was not a joke.
“Happy halloween, fellows.” Mark said, closing the cellar door behind him. Leaving Timmy, Craig, and myself incapacitated on the cold cellar
