Sheilagh Lee | @SweetSheil
Danielle says: I love the twist to the end of this one, and those last lines are killers for plot twist. Perfect story for this month, and a perfect dose of revenge from beyond the grave.

It was Halloween night and the weather reminded of that night forty years ago when Bobby Winters had invited me to a secret Halloween dance. Sixteen and beyond excited that my crush had asked me. I had dressed carefully as a wraith, a silk white floor length dress covered by a white torn sheet and a silk white scarf covering my head.. I remembered how Bobby had looked in his pirate suit.
I stepped across the threshold of the old house and in my mind I shivered. It was older and more decrepit then I remembered. I heard the front floorboards creep waitin as I had every Halloween night for Bobby to come and join me. Tonight Bobby answered my invitation.
Bobby came closer wielding a flashlight, I heard him gasp. I pulled my silk scarf closer to my head.
“You said you deserve to be paid and then you and your friends lured me, raped me and killed me,” I uttered as I reached in and grabbed Bobby’s still beating heart.
Bobby’s body was found by some children a few days later. The town talked about pulling the old house down but nothing has been done… yet. There have been mysteriously deaths in the old house, a rash of heart attacks the coroner claims. People are afraid of the house, but they need not be; there’s only one person left that need fear the Halloween house, all the rest of my murderers are dead. Happy Halloween!!
Congratulations Five Time Winner Sheilagh, Stacy, and Bill! Don't forget to claim your badges and display them with pride. You certainly earned it!
