Born under a last quarter moon your spirit monster is a vampire. A cool Edwardo type vampire - use sun screen and dig faster. You are a capable and ambitious man who can accomplish things that older, more experienced men can not do. Mostly because it's a really dumb thing to do and may result in being chopped in half and your skin shaved away by a rusty cheese grater.
The paper had comically renamed todays tarot readings to "Horror"scopes and that's what my horoscopes stated on today of all days October 31st 2012. Halloween.. It was the last thing I needed as I was a man who was easily co-hersed person. As a cop who was only five years out of the academy I was only twenty-three. My pals often said my baby faced image was my let down as my attitude towards life and work was that of a much older man; this freaked me out more because of the horoscope reading I had just seen.
This season was always one of the worst for the emergency services, but the last five years had been fairly quiet for me at least and I was laughing it off. I had been warned though that there was a special moon phase that came about every five years and this season was going to be the worst one so far. I of course kept this in the back of my mind but I couldn't for see any major problems.
This year though my watch for the evening a small town of Haddonfield, Illinoi. Michael Myers had caused many many problems over the years here. It was a very problematic town for Halloween. I was too young to remember any of the goings on, but I had heard the stories. The night should be pretty quiet since Michael was now dead and buried. The residents had had such a bad time of it over the years they had given up with the celebrations and locked and chained their doors and windows.
Cruising around, I hadn't seen a single person on the streets. Of course there was the odd curtain flicker as folks heard my cruiser pass by and the odd cat roaming around. It was nearing mid night and I was so pleased that I had gotten away with it. That was until I saw I dark figure briskly walk past my cruiser, strangely all I saw was a black cape.
The figure turned around, and that's when I realised who it was. I saw the mask that I had seen in the stories. It was un mistakably the mask of Michael Myer's. I have to admit I was shitting my pants with fear. However, my youthful adrenaline got the better of me and I got out of my cruiser to follow the masked figure.
I wasn't far behind him but he was fast. I began to ran as I heard screams from a house near by. I noticed the door was hanging off its hinges so I went in. I was very well prepared with my firearm out. Shouting "Is there any one there?"
No one replied, but I could hear noises, creaks from floor boards foot steps running up stairs. Suddenly there was a scream. It was a female scream. I quickly ran upstairs to find corpses thrown everywhere. There was also a sea of red trailing on all surfaces. I heard a noise from behind me and I didn't even get the chance to turn around before my face was smothered. A quick glimpse revealed a white mask. That was all I knew before I fell to the floor.

At that point I was in so much pain, I heard and felt my bones cracking but also I felt like I was being drained away from my own body

At that point I was in so much pain, I heard and felt my bones cracking but also I felt like I was being drained away from my own body. It was almost a sucking feeling . Soon there was nothing. An emptiness. I felt like I was moving and a familiar voice began to talk to me.
It said "I think I have been quite lucky, landing myself a cop without any suspicion, all I need to say is the convict got away, and to a certain extent he has. I am by no means an evil person, or at least I wasn't two years ago when I was trapped inside the mask that you are now in. And from what I can see from your memories that are currently flooding into my head your not a bad person either. It was hard for me to do what I did, but after two years being trapped inside that mask and knowing the only way for me to get out was kill 10 people and then place this mask on the eleventh body I saw. This mask is indestructible and will not disappear for the next two years. Resurface on Halloween 2014. You will be n a solid form but its not a human body as you know it.
There is plenty of time to think about what you want to do and in two years you will have few choices. 1. Kill yourself, curse yourself to being trapped in the mask for another 2 years. 2. Do Nothing, again cursing yourself to two more years trapped in the mask. 3. DO what I did and many more before me, kill ten, obtain eleventh. Do not get caught during your killing spree or again be cursed..
I am going to enjoy being you, and thank you, oh and by the way no point trying to get your own body back in two years. You can not own your own body ever again, its immune to the mask and its killing spree.
Thanks, sorry, bye...

Thanks, sorry, bye
