Harry was your average suicidal teen. He didn't have any friends, so he always strolled the streets of Derry alone.
He walked past a lamp post, sporting yet another 'Missing Kid' poster.
"Who was it this time?" He thought as he read it. Some kid called Nail Horn. Harry knew him, he was a popular jock, always strolling around school, terrorising Harry. "Oh well" he thought, "he deserves it for being such a dick to me"

He continued walking down the street, as he turned the corner he saw a group of boys. Oh no. It was Lois, Luke, Ashton and Zen. They were Nails friends and they always bully him.
"Look it's gay Hardin" they cried out, in unison and sprinted after him.
Harrry turned around and Stan for his life. Tears were streaming down his face as he ran from his tormentors.

He reached the bridge and realised it was a dead end. A single coin was in the way, he was trapped!
He could hear them getting closer and closer. He had to act fast. He gathered all his courage, climbed onto the wall of the bridge and jumped...

He was engulfed by the icy cold water. It was February so the water felt like ice. He struggled and kicked but then, he saw a flash of red below him. He looked down and saw it.

His face was a pasty, crusty white, he had wild red hair and red stripes leading from his mouth to his eyes

His face was a pasty, crusty white, he had wild red hair and red stripes leading from his mouth to his eyes. He was swimming at full speed towards him from under the lake.
Harry screamed, swallowing a mouthful of water. He struggled to kick to the surface, but he made it.
Once he reached the surface he got out at the bank and ran home, not looking back once.
Despite escaping he still couldn't get that face out of his mind, it was almost intriguing. Like he wanted to go back and see him again...
