Are you ready to be scared? Beware of KROPSY’S CURSE.
Late one Halloween night, two young boys venture into a secluded graveyard in the hopes of conjuring up a spirit. Although Kyle is skeptical and would rather be home eating candy and watching horror movies, he reluctantly goes along with Jerry’s plan. He doesn’t believe Ouija boards work—until this one starts spelling out a message…
This Halloween-themed 1500-word short story is a cautionary tale about playing with a Ouija board in a graveyard.
"Over there." Jerry swung his orange plastic flashlight to the left. "Why are you whispering? It's just a graveyard. Ain't no body here," he joked, then laughed. "Come on." Jerry hoisted his black backpack over his shoulder. "Hurry up. It's almost midnight."
Kyle's sneakers slipped on the dewy grass as he followed Jerry down the last hill in the cemetery. He paused and glanced around.
The moon appeared as a slit in the night sky. Dark clouds floated out of its way, and a sliver of pale yellow mixed with the blue-black night. Something made a noise off to his right, and he jumped.
Maybe they should go home. This didn't seem like fun anymore.
The fortunate inherit riches, prestige, positive notoriety. Those not so lucky bear legacies filled with poverty, infamy or, worse yet, the unhinged insanity and murderous urges of their ancestors.
Pray for the light. Pray that you last that long. The Long Hour Before Light is a classic collection of Horror tales, re-mastered by Champagne Book Group
