 Subject:  Scary or what...

   Late last  Saturday night; a young chap was walking home from the  pub.

   It was a  cold, wet, windy evening, and he was tired and  freezing.

   Most of the  streetlights in the area were broken, and the silence was
   only broken by the  occasional sound of a stray cat sifting through a
   dustbin.

   

   

   Then suddenly  he heard a strange noise.......

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP........

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP........

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

     BUMP........

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   Startled by  this, he turned, and to his amazement, through the
   driving rain, he saw the  faint outline of a large box turning 
   into his  road.

   

   

   

   

   

   

     BUMP........

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP........

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

     BUMP........

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   He froze to  the spot, he couldn't believe his eyes, as the box
   approached from the  shadows, he was able to make out its shape
   more clearly....it was a  coffin.

   

   Not wanting  anything to do with this, he put his head down and
   started walking  briskly home.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

     BUMP........

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP........

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP........

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

    He could  feel the coffin gaining on him, he started  walking
    faster.........

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP........BUMP.......

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP........BUMP.......

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP........BUMP........

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   The coffin  was closing with his every step, he started to jog, but he
   heard the coffin  speed up after him......

   

   

   

   

   


   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP........BUMP...BUMP...

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP........BUMP...BUMP...

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP........BUMP...BUMP...

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   He started to  sprint, but so did the coffin .......

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...BUMP...BUMP...BUMP.....

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...BUMP...BUMP...BUMP.....

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...BUMP...BUMP...BUMP.....

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   Eventually he  made it to his front door, but he knew the coffin was
   only seconds  behind. Fumbling around in his pocket, he pulled out his
   keys,

   

   His hand  trembling, he managed to open the lock, he dived inside
   slamming the front  door behind him. He shot into his front room
   and slumped into his comfy  chair.

   

   Suddenly  there was a loud crash, as the coffin smashed its way through
   the front door.  The force of the impact broke the lock off the coffin
   allowing the lid to  swing freely on its rusty hinges as it continued
   its chase.....

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...

   

   

   

   

   In horror the  young lad fled again, as fast as his shaking legs could
   take him he bolted  upstairs to the bathroom and locked the  door........

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...SCREECH...HOP...BUMP...SCREECH...HOP...

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...SCREECH...HOP...BUMP...SCREECH...HOP...

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...SCREECH...HOP...BUMP...SCREECH...HOP...

   

   

   

   

   

   The coffin  again gave chase up the stairs, across the landing and
   launched itself at the  bathroom door. With an almighty smash, the
   bathroom door flew off its  hinges . The coffin stood in the doorway,
   then started to approach the young,  terrified lad.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   In a last  ditch attempt to save his skin, he reached for his  bathroom
   cabinet......


   He grabbed a  bar of Imperial Leather soap and threw it at the
   coffin......

   still it came  ........

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   He grabbed  his can of Lynx deodorant and threw it ........ still  it
   came....

   .

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   He grabbed  his first aid kit and threw it ...... still it  came......

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   BUMP...SCREECH...BUMP...SCREECH...

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   He grabbed  some Benelyn cough mixture and threw  it........

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   The coffin  stopped.
