Murder By the Handful 3:Micah's Story.........A short story written by Chase Farinelli......

"Swish baby child!" Micah , the kinda short,14 year old white teenager exclaimed as he had just made the shot. "You mess with the bull you get the horns!" Micah said in a cheesy fake hispanic accent."More like, You mess mouse you get the squeak!" Chase teased.They shot the ball around the court of the abandoned North Carolinian house for a while like they usually do on a daily basis, it was the favorite place of the two best friends too hang out since in the ghetto town of Monroe there aren't a lot of safe places. The abandoned house was left by an extremely rich family,which one day they had 5 children, and the next they had 4 and they packed up and left mysteriously,never talking about the child that was missing. Now everyone in the town assured Micah that there were five children, but he counted himself and there were only 4.Anyways, that was 3 years ago, and he has been curious ever since too what exactly happened in that strange house."Oh crap, mom's gonna kill me!" Chase exclaimed,"i'll see ya later!" and with that went running down the street back too his house."Hmm.." Micah thought,"ive still got two hours..." and with that thought he slowly went into the house, not knowing he was making the worst, most life changing decision he ever will.

"wow", Micah thought to himself, "they left a ton behind!" He said as he walked by family paintings, pictures, jewels, dishes, books,"wait! jewels?!" He rushed back,Yes! there was a stockpile of jewels, Diamonds,Onyxes,Rubies,Pearls,Garnets, a ton of them and more! "It's a miracle!" he screamed, and too focused on the riches he thinks are his he doesnt se the mangled creature walk around the room.Micah stuffs his pockets and shoes full of the rare jewels, and hurries out so no one will see him,then he feels the hand.He turns around in a flash and falls onto his butt,"wh-wh-wh-who are you?" Micah says in horror, seeing the white plain mask with the drawing of a face, in blood.The Thing just stares back at Micah touching his scared face,"you'll do nicely" and with that he throws powder in his face, Micah is passed out in moments.... The Thing carries him downstairs.....

"wh-wh-what's happening?"Micah says hazily and confused, all he can see are bloody walls.The Thing stares at him with his grimacing mask, then finally breaks the silence,"lets play a game, here are the rules, I will let you go and give you a thirty second and your goal is too,along with the other participants, find eight keys randomly scattered throughout the house, but the catch is, with every key you get and open a lock with, the more i try too hunt you, so, shall we play?"The Thing says dastardly. "NEVER!!" Micah screams and starts to break down crying.He spit at The Thing. The Thing got so enraged,"so", The Thing slowly starts to cut Micah's face,"you wanna play or not?"Micah finally succumbs,"fine, i'll play your game, whatever i have to do to get out! " The Thing lets MIcah loose,"ready?" Micah nods. "3...2...1...GO!!" The Thing screams and Micah runs for his life, "I wonder who else i'm gonna meet here?" he thinks too himself..........The game has begun!

"Oh my Gosh girl..." said Blandine, a medium height, beautiful haitian teenager, wiped out from being in the Orlando club all night,"That... WAS INSANE!!" she exclaimed at the top of her lungs, the 15 year old had never been out so late."Shhhhhh", said Joan,"your right, that was insane, but don't scream about it!" they both laughed and walked home after having the best night of their young lives. "hey Blandine", Joan said stopping at the old fore closured home," I heard that the people who lived in this house died, and left a fortune in jewels behind.... wanna check them out?" she said playfully."Girl wait, are you serious, or be you trippin''' Blandine said jokingly, but in all honesty she really wanted those jewels." *tch*Girl why would i lie? is you dumb? is you not smart?" Joan jokingly said with some hand claps, and Blandine started laughing so hard. "oh my goodness girl what would i do without you", said Blandine while trying too calm down."Well, wanna go get those jewels or not?".

Blandine and Joan slowly creep into the house through the window. "dang this is creepy girl!" said Blandine,"I don't know if...." just then the lights flashed on."HOLY BEJESUS CHRIST CHILD SAVE ME JESUS!!" Blandine screams from being frightened, and then she sees Joan rolling on the floor laughing so hard at Blandine."girl, you better pat dat' weave of yours! because i'm about to tear it out!", Blandine screams, but she can only stay mad for a second before laughing too,"girl come on, lets get those jewels!".

As they walk through the hallway Blandine is talking about that guy in the club that talked too her,"aww man, Chase is da' bomb!! i mean we met for like five minutes then we were besties! wasn't he the best Joan", Blandine says with a smile,"Joan?" her smile fades into horror as she turns around to find Joan gone."o-o-ok Joan, come out girl!! this isnt funny!" Blandine says almost ine tears, you see, Blandine is afraid of being alone in the dark. "AAAHHHHH" Blandine freaks out at the scream."JOAN?! WHATS HAPPENING?!!"Blandine screams running down the hallway,"OH MY GOSH!!!" Blandine falls to the ground and crys and screams as she sees the impaled body of her best friend dangling right in front of her. Blandine screams in horror, and hardly feelsthe hand on her shoulder, she turns around too see the horrible mask. she scrambles backward,"w-w-w-what are you!!" she screams. The thing just stares and takes out a pouch. "w-w-what is that!?" screams Blandine. The Thing just stares at her, then throws the powder in her face and shes out in a few seconds.He carries her back.

She wakes up in a chair tied down, "whaaa....what happened" she says regaining consciousness. The thing stares at her, and finally breaks the silence."You wanna play a game? too be free?"Blandine readily accepts, but is still torn up about her friend but knows she has too put away pain, just until this 'game' is over. "Heres the rules child,you will play with the other participants, and your goal is too find all eight keys randomly scattered through the house, the catch is, with each key you find and put into the lock on the door, the harder i will try to hunt you and kill you.""Are you ready?" The Thing asks Blandine,"as i'll ever be" Blandine says, scared outta her wits." 3....2....1... GO!!!" The Thing screams and Blandine runs for her life, wondering what he meant by 'other participants'.........The game has begun!
