Jenny

Jenny

Jenny walked down Elm Street, looking up at the beautiful fall leaves against the dark blue sky.  It was a beautiful Halloween afternoon which promised to turn into an even more stunning Halloween Night.

A man she didn’t recognize was fiddling with something in the back of his car.  “Hey little girl!” the mysterious man called to her.  “I was just giving my kittens some food.  Would you like to see them?”

Jenny eyed him warily.  She thought back to the Stranger Danger program she’d watched at school.  But she loved kittens more than anything in the world so she went over.

Before she knew what had happened, she had been pulled into the car and the man was driving off.  “Where are we going, sir?” she asked politely.

“Shut up, kid,” he answered.

Jenny sat quietly.  They arrived in the woods outside of town and the man yanked her out. 

“Not a sound, kid,” he snarled at her.

Jenny was led to an isolated cabin in the woods.  “We are going to stay here for a while,” said the man.  He took off his shoes and jacket.

“I don’t think I will be staying,” Jenny replied, mysteriously.  “But you will be.”

The man went to strike her but Jenny was too fast.  In a move too quick for human eyes to follow, Jenny leapt up.  And stayed hovering at least six inches above the floor.

“What the….?” Said the man, not believing his eyes.

Jenny smiled the most chilling grin he had ever seen on a child.  “You are just like the man who killed me.  Three hundred years ago this very night.  I come back every year to stop monsters like you.”

She floated towards him and yanked off a certain body part. 

She smiled as she began to fade away, watching the stunned, castrated man bleed to death.
