" It had supposedly been months since the last attack on our small town; Bonney killing Monica in miss. Lily's apartment.

Saying that, it did shake up the quaint town to the core; it made an unsettling feeling loom over the town, businesses had shut down, curfews set, people even thought that there was some gas leakage somewhere which caused the recent events to occur.

I have always been a realistic type of person and I believe that Bonney just went nuts, I mean believing old folk law would definitely cause you to go off the handles with this town.

The amount of ghost stories that have spread over the years is insane and I don't believe any of them, there just old campfire stories to make sure children go to sleep- it really is that simple!

But so many people get pulled into the stories that most of the time they believe it; they end up being caught in the web of lies this town stirs up.

I like to refer myself as Pinocchio said, 'there are no strings on me!' Meaning I ain't being drawn into the lies (strings) this town tells, meaning I am stringless.

Anyway, I was at work talking to one of my colleagues and I was told about a recent death that had occurred only a week ago. I mean it isn't that good being in a town where there have been deaths occur not even months apart; I mean the one where the twins went missing and the Bonney incident, only happened weeks apart!

So like I do with most things I'm told, I brush it off. I'm not trying to be mean but I think that these type people just want the attention, and I find it absolutely sickening! But many people fall for others reasoning which I find funny, I mean it's obvious they've lost it and just needed the satisfaction of causing havoc in this town."

The officer in front of me frowned, "it sounds oddly psychotic, your reasoning and all."

I rolled my eyes, "it's not like I've done anything wrong, I was a victim of whatever happened!"

The officer nodded his head for me to continue.

"So, I got off late from work one night; not surprising as I'm always dedicated to my work and i have nothing better to do so yer.

Anyway, I was walking home along my usual route and along the way I saw this man- well, at least I thought it was.

I walked closer to him and asked if he was okay and he didn't respond, he just stood there looking all creepy and all-" the officer interrupted me again.

"Can you give me a description of the man?" The officer asked sternly.

I let out a small chuckle, "I didn't get much but sure.

He was wearing a black hoodie which covered his face, he was pretty muscular and stood around 6 foot.

He wore black ripped jeans and wore black boots."

The officer stared at his notepad and jotted some notes down before nodding at me again to continue.

"So, the guy just stood there being creepy and all; I being me just took that as an indication to leave, and that's exactly what I did."
