Your worst Nightmare

Prank Gone Wrong!

This one is really creepy! BEWARE!!

_________________________________________________________________________________

Kevin glanced up at the ceiling of his parents' basement rec room. Those water pipes up there will be perfect, he thought. The guys will love this!

This will be the most awesome PRANK OF THE YEAR!

Kevin heard footsteps and turned towards the sound. his eight year old brother, Mathew was standing at hte basement stairs, reering at Kevin through his thick glasses.

"Hey" called Mathew. "What are you doing with that big rope?" Kevin stepped onto a folding chair and tossed one end of the rope over the water pipe.

He tied a knot in the rope and stepped down, admiring his handiwork.

This is going to be so cool. I can't wait to see their faces. "Hey, Mathew-look," he told his brother excitedly. "You know that ventriloquist dummy, Dad picked up at that Yard Sale? The one with the creepy face and bow tie and suit?" Mathew nodded.

He just couldn't take his eye of the dangling rope.

"Well," Kevin continued, "the guys are coming over tonight to watch the game. When they get here, I'm going to have it really dark, so it's hard to see. And that dummy is going to be hanging from the over head pipe. with a noose aroung his neck."

Mathew's eyes widened.

"Pretty funny," Mathew said. He would never allow himself to show any real enthusiasm for any of Kevin's pranks.

Too many of them were played on him!

Mathew put both hand on his throat and pretended to choke. "I'm hanging, I'm hanging!" he cried.

Kevin laughed. His little brother cracked him up.

"Everyone will come down into the dark and dump into the dummy hanging from the ceiling" Kevin laughed. "They'll freak. they really will."

"Can I watch?" Mathew asked eagerly.

"Sure," said Kevin "You can hide in the closet. It'll be a riot!"

"Great." Mathew said as he stared at the rope once more.

"Don't tell Mom or Dad, Kevin warned.

"No problem." Mathew replied. He scampered back up the steps, leaving Kevin alone in the basement with the creepy dummy and the rope.

Kevin opened the closet and pulled out the dummy. It was so real looking, Kevin almost felt as if they can have a conversation.

"Hey pal," he said, reaching out to shake the dummy's wooden hand. "How've you been? Enjoying your stay ing the dusty old closet? Is it dark enough for ya in there?"

The dummy didn't answer. He just stared up at Kevin with his glasy eyes and painted on smile.

All right, thought Kevin. Be that way.

"For the crime of rudeness," he told the dummy, "I sentence you to hang by the neck until you die."

The dummy didn't seem to mind. He just sat there in his little plaid coat and bow tie, Grinning his eternal grin.

Kevin set the dummy down on to the couch.

"Your honor," he said, addressing an imaginary judge, "the defendant shows no remorse."

Kevin climded back onto the folding chair, gradded the loose end of the noose. HE had been a Scout, and earned a merit badge for knot-tying.

Now his training came in handy. When he was done, the noose dangled ominously from the pipe, waiting for a victim.

This is going to be great! Kevin thought again. He picked up the dummy and carried him over to the noose. He tried to slip it over the wooden head but it wouldn't fit.

Darn, to small.

He set the dummy down and climbed back up the chair. Carefully, he retied the noose. This time making the opening larger.

On an impulse, out of curiosity, Kevin slipped it over his own head. The rope hung loosely around his own neck.

"See?" he called to the dummy down below.

"There is nothing to it."

The dummy grinned up at Kevin in silent agreement.

Balancing on the folding chair, Kevin reached up to remove the noose from his neck.

"HEY--"

He struggled a bit and accidently pulled on the knot!

The noose tightened around Kevin's neck.

"HEY-"

Frightened, Kevin really started to lose his balance on the chair.

"WHAT THE-?"

The rope tightened even more, cutting deep into his throat.

"MATHEW!" he chocked, "MATHEW? CAN YOU HEAR ME?"

Silence.

"MATHEW!"

The only sound that he recieved was the sound from the creaking pipe above him.

"HELP, SOMEBODY, I -CAN'T-BREATH!"

Clawing at the rope, he kicked back. The chair tumbled from under neath him. He saw the dummy grinning up at him. A ghoul-ish, evil, haunting grin.

Kevin fell, causing the noose to tighten aroung his neck cutting through his flesh.

"AAAAAAAAAAaack!"

Kevin's final gasping cry - for help as he swung careless from the pipe. The darkness surrounded him as he drifted off into teh horrible comfort of deat.

The dummy grinned at him and blinked his wooden eyes and laughed at the lifeless body in front of him.
