Chapter 1
--THE BIRTHDAY CAKE--

It was a wet morning and I didn't want to drive to the market for eggs, so I went next door to borrow some from Roberta.

*****(someone continue with one sentence)*****

 

[lifesaver]

Roberta didn't have any eggs in the refrigerator so she went out back to the chicken house and picked out a whole dozen fresh eggs.

 

[QSis]

I always hesitated going over there, since Roberta's house bore a strong resemblance to the Bates' creepy house in "Psycho".

 

[chefmaloney]

The neighborhood just hasn't been the same since they moved in.

 

[lifesaver]

the roof of the house has lots of moss hanging over the sides and there are lots of black spiders.

 

[chefmaloney]

I pre-heated the oven and put the cake in when I noticed that someone from the 'phycho house nex door' was peeking through the upstairs window at me.

 

[lifesaver]

the person that peeking through the upstairs window at me looked like a scraggily old man with long grey hair and torn off finger nails.

 

[B'sgirl]

I struggled to close the blinds but they were stuck, and so I was I facing the ghoulish figure in the house next door.

 

[chefmaloney]

I was frightened, I could tell that the person peering back at me was not Roberta, I thought she lived alone.

 

[lifesaver]

I went back over to Roberta's house and explained to her that someone was peering through her upstairs window at me and i asked her if she had anyone living with her.

 

[QSis]

I was torn between going back over to talk to Roberta, and staying home to tend the cake that I was making for my favorite person in the world.

 

[lifesaver]

Roberta explaned to me that she has a brother that was just released from a mental hospital and he was now living with her because he had no where else to go.

 

[babetoo]

roberta says it is really hard to care for him.

 

[getoutamykitchen]

Roberta also explained that her brother likes to wonder around aimlessly at night while she is sleeping and recommends that I keep all my doors and windows locked.

 

[lifesaver]

Roberta said that her brother is rather harmless but when he roams around at night he makes a lot of noise and gets the neighbors dogs barking and the barking dogs gets the neighbors all woke up.

 

[chefmaloney]

At that moment we heard a loud crash coming from the room upstairs and smoke was coming from the window.

 

[pdswife]

Roberta started to cough and to run up the stairs calling her brothers name as she ran " CHARLIE"..!!!

 

[lifesaver]

charlie came rolling down the stairs yelling "Roberta" and as he got to the bottom of the stairs he turned and looked at Roberta and screamed BOOOOOOOOOOO!.

 

[pdswife]

In his right hand he held a candle shaped like a pumkin a tiny glow coming from it's mouth and a puff of smoke from it's lid.

 

[lifesaver]

Roberta screamed "what are you doing"? and at that point charlie dropped the candle and ran toward the front door.
