Scary But True

Story 1: A Time When You Had A Real Scare
Audience: Teen males, 4-11

The young boy, Jonathan, was only four when this event happened:
He climbed in between his parents, hiding between them. He was afraid of the darkness that engulfed his room and appreciated the company of his parents.
As he lay underneath the comforter, he could feel the air around him get cold.
"Mommy? Daddy? Something's cold," he whispered to his parents, who both replied with grunts.
The air grew cold and stale, as though Jonathan was put in a freezer and left to die. A weak breeze made its way around the room before settling as an apparition, a slender man.
Jonathan held his breath as he watched the thing float across the room like a walking monster, with tendrils wafting in the air.
"I..." Jonathan struggled to speak, caught between curiosity and fear.
He watched as the being's ethereal form stopped in front of him and extended its appendages toward Jonathan. The being started to become more defined as it got closer, revealing the creases and marks of age on its face. I had green eyes and teeth as sharp as a wild animal's, with a look of sheer insanity on its face.
The form stopped before the boy, its claws against his throat. Jonathan coul feel coldness slowly surround him as he sunk deeper into the sheets.
