Friday the 13th story

It was a cold and dark day in the town of Carmichael, California. This is a small town where everybody knows everybody and nothing bad ever happens here…except on Friday the 13th. Carmichael is known for all the bad things that happen on Friday the 13th. On Friday the 13th, four friends decided to wander around and see if anything bad happened to them. They didn’t think anything would but they were wrong. It all started when one of the four friends wandered off alone. The rest of them didn’t think anything of it. Little did they know that their friend hadn’t wandered off but had actually been murdered. The friends decided to go look for their missing friend and after walking around the town for quite some time decided they had better go to the police. The police listened to them and told them that they had better go home. Instead of doing what the police said, they went looking for their friend again. The friends came upon an old abandoned house and barn and wondered if their other friend might be in there. They searched and he wasn’t there. At least that is what they thought.
After leaving the house the boys were afraid to go home because they thought they would get into trouble. They had been gone for so long that their parents called the police. The police told their parents that they had sent them home. The parents told the police that none of the boys had returned home. All the parents were scared and worried for their children. As the police and the parents were looking for them, the boys saw them but tried to avoid them. They didn’t know that their parents had been looking for them. The boys’ plan was to wait and sneak home after dark. They still wanted to find their other friend…
The boy had been abducted by a man who had escaped from an insane asylum. The man found the boy, murdered him and took him to an abandoned house. Yes, the same abandoned house the friends had gone to earlier. He had hidden the body of the dead boy there and went out looking for more people to kill. The crazy man had seen the parents and the police and the other boys but couldn’t go after any of them because they were in groups. One of the boys thought he caught a glimpse of a man but when he looked back there was no one there so he didn’t think anything of it. It was already really dark and he had probably just imagined it.
As the police and the parents were searching for the boys they saw the same man. They stopped to ask him if he had seen and of their kids. He said no, he hadn’t seen them but he would keep an eye out for them. One of the parents said that it was weird that this stranger was just wandering around town this late but instead of asking him what he was doing they kept on searching for the boys. That’s when the parents and the police came upon the abandoned house.
The police searched the abandoned house and barn but found nothing. They searched the huge fields around it and found the body of the murdered boy about two miles away from the house. His parents were devastated. The police and the other parents were now even more worried and had to find the other boys right away to make sure they were all right. All the police in town were out looking for the boys. The boys saw all the police activity but decided to hide until the coast was clear – then they would hurry and find their other friend without getting caught. The boys decided that the abandoned house would be a perfect hiding place. The saw the emergency lights flashing but they were a long way off and they knew another way to get to the house without cutting through the fields.
When the boys got to the house the door was open and it seemed that some things had been moved. The crazy man was outside the house and saw them go in. He would lock them in and kill them one at a time. The boys got really scared when the door suddenly closed. They tried to open the door but it was jammed. They tried to open the windows but they were all sealed shut. They tried the door again and one of the boys noticed that there was fresh blood on the back of the door – the boys all got terrified, somehow they knew that blood belonged to their other friend.
The police decided to search the abandoned house again to make sure they didn’t miss anything. While the police were on their way back, the crazy man went to the barn - he would use the cellar that ran under the house and the barn to get in without the boys seeing him. He snuck up the cellar stairs with a huge knife and cornered the boys. They decided that the only way to survive was to attack him. When they attacked, one of the boys was cut really bad on the stomach. The other two boys were struggling to get the knife away from the man. As they struggled, the police broke in and shot the man before he could kill any of the other boys. One of the cops that was with the parents noticed that it was the man they had talked to earlier – he couldn’t believe they had talked to the murderer earlier. The parents rushed to their kids to make sure they were all right. The boy who got stabbed in the stomach was seriously hurt but the other two only had scrapes and bruises.
No one knows why the man went crazy or why he decided to murder or why he picked Carmichael, but old Sam that works down at the hardware store said that the murderers’ picture in the paper looked exactly like the man that killed his little brother – sixty years ago…
