The Curse of the Typewriter

Welcome back boys and girls to another horror story by our lovely campfire and I am your host with the most Deirdre Stephenson. Of course we still have plenty of candy apples and s'mores to pass around and eat so do help yourself and do get comfortable then we can begin our new tale I am most eager to tell. Comfortable? Good we can begin and our story is entitled the curse of the typewriter and trust me when I say this to won't have a happy ending none of them will. There is a small store located in Waco that sells all sorts of things money can buy. It so happens they also sell typewriters of different kinds. There is one on display that looks very old yet in very much working condition because all typewriters can be tested before getting sold. This typewriter looks like it is the seventies no one knows much about this one but who made it and what year it was made was about anyone in the shop since there are a few people who work there. One a woman who is a school secretary went in because the typewriter the one she has done keys were broken so she wants to replace it. Alice Winters who loves antiques because she has a lot of them in her home so when she has her friends over she would show them a new piece when it bought something. Now she is currently at the store looking at different typewriters deciding which one to get for herself since it was going to be at her home to begin with. Alice notices the antique looking typewriter as she becomes very interesting in it as she thought it will fit in with the rest of the antiques she has. So Alice buys the antique typewriter and when she buys it she takes it home. First thing Alice does gets rid of the old one and replaced it with the one she got as she was happy to get rid of the old one. Since there is no school that afternoon she decides to try out her new typewriter so she goes in her study sits at her desk takes out a piece of typing paper out as she puts in the typewriter. First thing she typed a letter to her mother saying sorry she hasn't written awhile because she has to replace her old typewriter now has a new one. Alice is a young woman who still writes home once a week or when she could but she always typed her letters home. Alice calls her friends telling them after writing to her mother about it as they came by after to see it. One of Alice's friends asked Alice to sit by her typewriter so they can take a photo. When the photo was taken the woman let out a scream because in the photo it looks like Alice was burned to a crisp like someone set her on fire as they just put her out from roasting. Alice saw the photo herself now very scared not knowing what this means nor could even her friends who also saw the photo can explain why the photo came out the way it did. A week later after that photo was taken now Alice begins to suffer very painful heads before bed. It got to the point Alice couldn't sleep at her the pain in her head will keep her up at night as she couldn't sleep a wink. Alice has enough with these headaches that nothing she takes helps it so she goes to the hospital. The doctor who seeing her care took all test to find out why she was having these headaches but not even the test told the doctor anything so he has her admitted to the hospital. Days goes by as Alice is in the hospital while her headaches begins to get even more worse now here comes the bloody noses as one of her headaches will come on so would the pouring of blood coming out of her nose as well. Weeks later and still the doctor still can't figure what is wrong with his patient now with the nose extreme bleed is even more worried.  One morning the morning nurse came to check on Alice calls code blue because Alice was found dead in bed as blood was coming out of the holes her nose, eyes, mouth and ears.  A week later a funeral for Alice Winters took place neither the doctor nor the family ever found out what killed Alice as one of the family members took the typewriter back where she bought it so someone else can have it since it is still working condition. So now the typewriter is back in the store neither the shop owner or the family knew that the typewriter that Alice bought is cursed. That concludes this story boys and girls as I do hope you enjoyed our new tale by the fire like I tried telling you these stories won't have a happy ending so far my words are true. Well this is your host with the most Deirdre Stephenson wishing thee a farewell until we meet again for another tale by the campfire and do bring your friends next time there is still plenty of room by our lovely campfire.
