It’s October, and you know what that means! Halloween is my
favorite holiday, so today I’m sharing a look at my Halloween-themed horror
story…
Kropsy's Curse
Late one Halloween night, two young boys venture into a
secluded graveyard in the hopes of conjuring up a spirit. Although Kyle is
skeptical and would rather be home eating candy and watching horror movies, he
reluctantly goes along with Jerry’s plan. He doesn’t believe Ouija boards
work—until this one starts spelling out a message…
This Halloween-themed 1500-word short story is a cautionary
tale about playing with a Ouija board in a graveyard.
Here’s a mini-excerpt:
“Where is it?” Kyle whispered.
“Over there.” Jerry swung his orange plastic flashlight to
the left. “Why are you whispering? It’s just a graveyard. Ain’t no body here,”
he joked, then laughed. “Come on.” Jerry hoisted his black backpack over his
shoulder. “Hurry up. It’s almost midnight.”
Kyle’s sneakers slipped on the dewy grass as he followed
Jerry down the last hill in the cemetery. He paused and glanced around. The
moon appeared as a slit in the night sky. Dark clouds floated out of its way,
and a sliver of pale yellow mixed with the blue-black night. Something made a
noise off to his right, and he jumped. Maybe they should go home. This didn’t
seem like fun anymore.
Kyle watched Jerry head deeper into the graveyard. He wanted
to call out to him, tell him his plan was ridiculous, it would never work, they
shouldn’t have snuck out and come here. Halloween night should be spent
trick-or-treating, watching monster movies, and eating candy—not creeping
around in an abandoned graveyard and trying to talk to a dead man.
