Prologue
As it
turned to night in Cliffwood Beach, New Jersey, the wind was blowing. Yes,
Cliffwood Beach is a small town with a small population, but still creepy
things can happen at night. Crazy things that no one would ever think to
happen.
Jake
and I were walking home from the park one night. It’s dangerous to be out at
night. We could hear someone screaming in the night. That was normal, but you
could hear a lot of random noises. I grabbed Jake’s hand as we heard the
scream. Jake was scared and so was I.
We knew
we shouldn’t have stayed out this late, but we were too busy entertaining
ourselves. Jake’s parents were out of town. He had to come stay with me since
we were best friends. I don’t know why his parents didn’t want to take him with
them. Jake was bored out of his mind and he wanted to play basketball.
We
turned onto my street and then our lives changed for the worst. It’s like
waking up from a nightmare, but it was worse than a nightmare. It was something
we were going to have to face. I don’t know how to explain what happened next.
Just let me assure you…you will be shocked.
