A normal autumn day, a boring one in fact. Halloween is just around the corner, which means, watching scary movies with the fam. Happy, yet boring.

"Lauren," my aunt called "are you busy?"
She called from the kitchen, making some Halloween cookies.

"Umm-" I started but cutted-off. "Good. I need you to get a few things from the store." She said, as i shrugged when she handed me a piece of paper.

I got up and headed to the front door only to meet my hell of an ass cousin.

"Sup," I greeted

"Yow"

I borrowed my aunts old school shoes and went off.

As I was a block from the grocery store, I came upon a crying boy. He has a teddy bear hanging low from his hand, my heart was too soft to not wipe a tear from that poor boy's face.

I started to came a bit closer, but he backed away. I started to walk over but he just kept backing away. What feels like forever, he stopped, looked me dead in the eyes and started to come to me. I felt like running but somehow my feet got stuck on the ground. As he got closer, I started to cough uncontrollably and feel a bit of acid in the corner of my mouth. I immediately caughed black goo as he was close enough to not be spilled with the goo. The goo was drying out my organs and my blood. I took a quick glance at the boy and saw a faded man, his hand was on the boy's shoulder. "Well done James" he said as I stopped barfing, they suddenly became faded and soon disappeared, but as I no longer felt the earth on my feet, I soon realized I was the one who disappeared.
