Her Last Halloween
It was Halloween and party time among friends as usual. Sally and her group gathered for a masquerade party. Ben was telling that old Halloween tale, as he did every year, about the curse upon Skull Cemetery. They all lived in a small town called Oakdale, whose only claim to fame, was having a haunted cemetery. However, this tale told that on Halloween the cemetery turned into a frightening nightmare. Anyone, brave enough to walk through Skull Cemetery beneath the light of the full moon and reach a large crypt and knock three times. The door of the crypt would open, then walk down into the crypt and take a look at what was there. Walk away, and out of the cemetery and the curse would be broken. It would just continue to be a haunted place no one liked to walk in.
