I was finally ready for my shift at the haunted house. I was in the front of the house this year.
It didn't take long for a couple of kids to come by. Skid and Pump were their names. Kevin watched over the two a lot when their mom was at work.
Once they got close enough, I dropped a smoke bomb, and emerged from the door. "Ah, welcome to the hauntiest of houses, gentlemen!"
I walked closer to the green-screen mirror. "As you can see, I am a real vampire!" I flipped the green side over my face, and pushed the two so they were looking into the mirror. Skid was amazed, and Pump seemed confused.
"Now get inside, and get scared!" I exclaimed.
The two got inside, excited.
I smiled as the two went inside.
I adjusted my collar, and an older guy in a devil costume approached me.
I looked in his direction. "Hello, little devil fellow! Would you like to get scared?"
He just stared at me with an ominous grin on his face.
"Did you know if you eat a human brain, you'll get a disease similar to mad cow?" He responded.
He then towered over me.
"What...?" I simply responded. That's when the realization hit me. This was Bob Velseb. He found me after all this time.
"Hello, Streber." He said.
I started to back away from him. "N-no..."
He grabbed onto my left arm, pulled out a knife, and struck me in the stomach so I wouldn't be able to escape.
I gasped for air.
He began pulling onto my arm until it tore in two. I landed on the wooden porch, covered in a pool of my own blood and the tears that were streaming down my face. He walked into the house, my arm in his hands.
I couldn't get a single word out of my mouth. I could hardly breathe. Skid and Pump would probably be out soon, maybe they would help me.
Eventually, I saw the two come out. They walked over to me. Maybe they were going to help me.
Pump just smiled at his friend when he saw me. "That looks so real!" he exclaimed.
"That's AMAZING!" Skid exclaimed. "Let's go get more candy!"
And they were off. And I was stuck here. Unable to speak, move, or even breathe.
Bob followed closely behind, dropping the bone of my arm right next to me.

A couple minutes later, Jenna walked outside to see how I was doing. "Streb-Streber!" She yelled. "Someone call 911! Streber's hurt!"
I started blacking out.
"Streber, stay with us!" Jenna shouted.
~~~~~
I woke up in a white room with a 12 year old boy across the room, wearing a white suit and tie.
He looked like me when I was 12.
"Hello, mister!"
"Where am I...?" I asked.
"You're in the plane between life and death." He said.
"What...?" Am I dead? What the hell is going on?
"Your body is in a coma. It isn't fully determined whether you'll wake up or not, so you're stuck here for the time being."
