A Sample Story-Line

An unforgettable encounter in the graveyard Two friends, after watching a late movie, decided to take a shortcut through a graveyard on their way home. One friend saw a dark figure behind a tombstone that smelled awful and had a bulging red eye. Scared for their lives, they ran away screaming and crying. They eventually made it to the main road, turned around to look, but saw nothing. Puzzled about what they saw, they would never know the truth about their frightening experience in the graveyard that night.
