The house was at the end of a long driveway off the main road in old Amity Park. Giant oak trees lined each side of the pavement, following the black stripe till it reached the house. The giant oaks framed the faded brown roof and broken windows with their bold yellow fall leaves. Danny hopped off his old bike, and pushed it the rest of the way. The bike had served him since middle school and still bore the scars. Glitter dollar store NASA and astronaut stickers were stuck to its frame. Several had lost most of their color turning brown yellow or blue from the past summer suns. The sun of the present had its fading sunlight reflected off those stickers. Creating spectacles of rainbow on the ground that followed where his bike went.

The further we went, the quieter his surroundings got, the noise of the city was still there, but it sounded like it was from another room or another time. Then he came upon the house itself. The house was a train wreck painted sickly yellow and left to die. The sunset set the broken windows ablaze with light scattering their reflections on the leaf covered ground below. Danny stuck his tongue out in disgust. The smell matched the building and he assumed it would give him a headache. The front door swung with the light breeze, each time emitting a loud creek. Danny winced, then he pulled out his phone and opened up the Discord App.

SpaceGhostDanny: I'm here. Where are you guys?

SayonaraPaulieCat: The girls and I are still getting ready! We will be there soon!

TouchDownHero: I lost the board.

ThisSunnyBoi: I'm almost there, I stopped by Nasty Burger for dinner. What do you mean you lost the board?

TouchDownHero: Look I put it on my bed and now it's gone.

SayonaraPaulieCat: Not again!

SpaceGhostDanny: If Kwan is still in town he can get a new one from Walmart.

ThisSunnyBoi: Yeah!

TouchDownHero: No, a normal board won't work. It has to be this vintage one I found!

SayonaraPaulieCat: Val says she is calling BS

SpaceGhostDanny: Hey Kwan if I pay you back later can you grab me a nasty double burger, extra secret nasty sauce, a milkshake and large fries.

ThisSunnyBoi: Sure!

SayonaraPaulieCat: Oh! Star wants a nasty kid's meal with BBQ sauce and the girl's toy and a coke, Val wants a triple nasty burger with fries, no drink. Can you get me large fries and sparkling water?

ThisSunnyBoi: Uh you have the money for this?

SayonaraPaulieCat: I just Venmo-ed you.

ThisSunnyBoi: Okay order is right up!

Kwan added a few wide mouth smile emoji's after his message. Danny sighed, Dash was right. Kwan did text like a white mom. He shoved the phone into his Casper High letterman jacket and took another look at the puke house.

A chill shot up his spine as a woman stared back at him. Her skin was melting off her body like wax. The green skin dripped off her sharp chin and splashed onto his feet. But her eyes. They weren't there, instead they had been replaced with two small red flames, like someone had shoved candles into her eye sockets.

"H-hi h-how can I h-h-Elp you?" Danny took a step back but the woman grabbed his arm and yanked him closer. The lack of breath on his ear terrified him.

"Get out before HE sees you" Danny was sent flying back, his back crashing into his bike. He shoved himself up and threw his fist up, but the woman was gone. The only sign of her was his own breath escaping his lips in small puffs of smoke.
