Campfire Stories- Done

The Curse of the Small Pocket Knife

Welcome back boys and girls to the final story told by your host with the most Deirdre Stephenson. I do hope you have enjoyed this first volume of cursed stories because volume two will be domestic noir stories and the third volume will be mangled stories those won't have a happy ending either because it is more interesting to tell stories with no happy ending over one that will then it is no longer scary is it? No it isn't how boring is that? Very boring if you ask me. So gather around by our lovely campfire for the final story and do pass around the candy apples and s'mores tasty treat to eat while listening to our final tale that is entitled the curse of the small Pocket knife. There is a small store somewhere in Barre, Ma that sells all sorts of things. One day a man by the name of  Maxwell Applewhite who is a retired worker who used to work at the gas station left work on injury now he owns the store that sells all sorts of things. One day a young man came into the store by the name of Thomas Van Sing as he was looking around because he wasn't sure what he wanted. He saw the small pocket knife as he decided to get that and other things as well. After that day Thomas carried that small pocket knife around no matter where he was. Thomas would use the small pocket knife even cleaning under his nails too. One day Thomas got invited to a Halloween party and that night he was dressed up like he was a mad scientist. That night everyone was having a good time plenty of music and dancing along with photos being taken that night. That night everything went without a hitch as time came for everyone went home. It will be six days later that the one taking the photographs said something was wrong with his photos because everyone turned out fine but his he seems transparent like he really wasn't there was all they could explain it. It will be a week later after that disturbing phone call he got about his photos now that every time he goes out in the sun he would drop in pain from his head that it got him staying indoors afraid to go out because he knows he will drop from the pain. When the sunlight would enter his home he would scream in pain coming from inside his head. So when it came night time he would block his only window in his room so no light could enter his room so that was where he stayed in his home. Yet no matter what he has to leave his room to use the bathroom or to get something to drink yet when the light hits him he would scream in pain the pain got so bad it would get him to vomit up blood. One day he calls his doctor from his bedroom telling him what was happening to him as his doctor advises him to go to the hospital as he said he would. Once he finally got to the hospital while the ambulance ride was very painful for him because when the sun hit him he would scream in pain. Thomas Van Sing got admitted to the hospital because the doctor was concerned with what is going on with him because it isn't normal for someone to drop in pain in the head when the sunlight touched them. No matter what test or scan the hospital did on Thomas nothing was showing what was causing all these problems. Since he has been admitted to the hospital the morning nurse has to help him because once the sun light has entered the hospital room Thomas would be laying in bed screaming it got to the point that they never open the blinds in the room but allow it to be dark instead. Weeks went by as the doctor couldn't explain what is wrong with Thomas Van Sing yet they know if they let him go he will end up back in their care and they ran more tests despite the first test showed nothing and the same from round two of tests so they ran out of answers as he went to other doctors who could possibly could help with this case before anything does happen. A week went by with no results and one morning the nurse went to check on the Thomas and when she entered his room he was found dead in bed like someone deflated his life out of him. There was a funeral for Thomas Van Sing as it was a closed coffin because the state he was in while his belongings stayed with the family while the family never knew that the small pocket knife that he bought that ended his life. That concludes this final story of the first volume boys and girls as I do hope you all have enjoyed the first volume and I do hope everyone comes back for volume two based on all domestic noir stories. This is your host with the most Deirdre Stephenson bid thee a farewell until we meet again for volume two and don't forget to leave the light on before going to sleep never know what lurks in the dark.
