Halloween was always one of my favorite holidays. Especially when the leaves start to change colors and it gets colder. That all changed October 20, 1998. It was a cold October night when it all happened. Kayla, Sabrina and I finally decided to go ride some old dirt roads. As I went to Kayals house I got this funny feeling as I pulled into the driveway, my heart was racing it was beating so fast and loud I could hear it in my head. I just talked myself out if it and got out of the car. As I got out of the car I heard this rustling in the bushes. It sounded as if it was a long way off.
With every step I took the rustling sound got louder and louder. As I went to open the door that's when it ran out. I couldn't see it but it was dark and small.
