My heart is beating. I run....faster...and faster! Ican't see,but I know something is after me.I force my legs to move faster.But a boney hand grabs my shoulder.He's caught me! I scream--- and wake up!
A terrifying DREAM. I've dreamt it ever in my life. when i was a kid,there were thick woods behind our home.In the middle of the woods stood a tall, huge ROCK. All the neighbours believed that a DEAD BODY was burried beneath them.
From then i started to dream about these stones.I see them to shake and i see decayed body climb out from under and stagger towards my house,groaning..
''I'm comming to get you, charlie I'm comming to get you!''
THE STORY BEGINS......
WELCOME TO MY NIGHT MARE....!!
I was on a tree branch. I tightned my grip on the trunk and lookd at the kids on the ground.I suddenly felt dizzy. grinning faces became a blur..
''what's wrong, charlie??'' I heard Travis call.
''Need a ladder to get down??''
''I -- I'm okay,'' I stammered. But i wasn't okay. I told to myself, i'd climbed halfway somehow and now there's no way i could get down.
''should I call the fire department?'' travis shouted.I heard the other kids laugh the way they always do. And then travis strated the familar chant.
''charlie the wimp! charlie the wimp! and this continued for a long time... I wanted to shut my hands over my ears,so that i couldn't hear them. But i couldn't let go my hands off the trunk. I hugged it even more tightly,my body was shaking,I shut my eyes and gutted my teeth. I hated them and I hated travis,even thought he was my besst best friend....but most of all i hated my self for being such a jerk, coward and for being charlie the wimp!
''Stop it!'' I shouted.''Stop it!'' I shook a fist at them and lost my balance and i started to slide down the trunk. My skin peeled off my hands, my shirt tore and I slide to the ground,landed hard on my knees.
''Wow. let's see you do that again!'' travis said. my hands were bleading. I wiped off the dirt and removed leaves from my hair and Yelled ''give me a break'.''
But he never did...He was always daring me,chalenging me to do dangerous things...and always showing off in front of other kids,he was brave and i was coward... and I hated the most.!
THE next morning I got to school a little late.I stepped into the class room and stared at the board. someone had drawn a tree with me hanging at end and a little kitten at the other end....undernead, it said
WHICH ONE IS THE SCARED--CAT???....
Soon i turned aroud and found everyone laughing at me, and I knew I couldn't take any more of this... I knew i had to do something... But what??....
A few days later ,we were taken to the woods.Mr.DUKE, our teacher,was leading the class to collect insects and some sort of leaves...
As i following the path, travis came up to me, grining as always.''dare you to swim the creek'', he said. I knew it didnt rained in week,so I rolled my eyes , Ha ha ha... very funny I said that the creek was just a mud bog.
Mr.Duke announced.I want everything setup, keep to the path.'' He then hurried away. our shoes crunched over the dry ground. The sunlight prickled on my back of my neck. The path curved through a grassy clearing. I shifted my bag on to my shoulders and saw a small wodden shed at the side.. what was lying on the grass in front of the shed? it was hard to focus in broad day sunlight.
''Hey!'' I took off running. ''Hey!''
I stopped a few feet away from the shed and stared at the man lying on the ground. He lay stiffly with his arms and legs straight. his face was covered with mask and I could hardly see his face.....
''Hey!'' I called to the others, my voice was loud and steady
I waved widly.''Hey--come here! Hurry!''
The whole class came running. They stopped when they saw the body lying on the grass... Everyone at once
''Is he alive??''
''Why is he wearing a mask??''
''What happned to him??''
''It -- Its a DEAD BODY,'' I stammered.''I dont believe it.I stared at the body with open mouth.''someone-hurry! go get Mr.Duke!'' a girl yelled. But no one moved. I guess we were all too shocked and horrified.
Soon then travis came beside me,''charlie'', he said loudly, loud enough for everyone to hear,''charlie,I dare you to remove the mask from the man's face...!
''Huh?'' I took a step back as i was horrified
What ''touch a dead body?''
Silence all around. I could feel that all eyes were on me. I stared at travis then at the dead body.I swallowed and took a deep breath. ''Okay!'' I said, swallowing again.''Okay.Okay I can do it. No big deal--right??'' i said it to myself. I took a small step towards the body,then another, a few kids gasped ''Is he really going to touch it??'' My hands trembled as I reached for the MASK!
My hand began to shiver.. with a sharp tug,i started to pull the MASK over the face...And the dead man's hand shot up and wrapped around my wrist.
''Ohhhhh.'' A low moan escaped my throat. Behind me came the horrified cries and screams of the others. The dead man's finger tightened around my arm, I couldnt even move. Staring at me with those black dead eyes, he opned his mouth and said, ''Let... the... dead.. rest!'' The dead man repeated again ''Let...the...dead...rest!''
I turned around and saw other were screaming and crying.
''Travis--HELP ME!'' I shouted.''Travis-Please! Help me!''
travis face was pale with fear. after a moment he spung away and took off, running into the woods. A few kids ran after him.The rest ran behind travis and few others in other direction into the woods. I squeezes the deam man's hand and tugged them off then i grabed his head and banged and twisted it hard on the ground..The other kids stared at me with wide open eyes.''I'm okay call Mr.Duke i shouted,hurry! they took off eager to get away. I watched them until they disappear in the woods....
Then i turned to the body on the ground.''They are gone,Uncle Jake. You can get up.'' I told to him.''Thank's a lot.It worked perfectly. ''They'll never call me the Wimp!''
Uncle jake sat up and took of the mask.he mopped the sweat off his forehead.''charlie, you play a kind of rough,'' he said.
''Sorry,'' I replied.''I guess I got a little caried away. I wanted to make it look real.
Uncle jake was my best uncle. He was really funny and he loved practical jokes.He was always did his white eyeball trick at the dinner table, Last week i asked him to help me out. i said thank's again ''We really scared them, didn't we?''
Uncle Jake nodded,and smiled. ''He whispered Bye Charlie.'' I said good-bye. Then i watched him vanish in the woods.
I ran all the way home after school in excitment, and bursting through the kitchen door. I couldnt wait to tell mom about the trick Uncle Jake and I played on Travis and other kids.... But i stopped when I saw tears rolledd down her face. ''charlie. I'm sorry,'' she said softly.''So sorry...''
''Sorry? Mom, whats wrong??''
''I have a bad new,'' she said whiping her tears. ''It--- It's your uncle Jake. He died.''
''I suddenly fell cold all over. ''died? when??''
''last night,'' Mom said. sometimes last night I.......I just heard.''
''But-- Mom wraped her arms around me. ''I'm so sorry, charlie. I know you two were very close.I know you thought him as a friend.''
My head was spinning. I pressed my face agains't her wet cheeks.
''Yes,'' I whispered.''Yes. He was a very good friend.''
