Welcome to Gaia! ::

Some kids decided it would be funny to go to the Stones House and dig a hole in the backyard. They all got together, grabbed every shovel, bucket, and digging tool they could find. Then they snuck to the Creey Stones House. It was painted with dark colors and stuck out like a sore thumb among the neighborhood. It was nighttime, the best time for a prank, and they started to dig. One boy, Jeffrey stepped on a twig on his was to the dig site, startling Old man Stones. He looked out the window, seeing nothing and thought nothing of it. "Stupid Animals!" he cried "Trying to scare me to death. They try it agian and Im getting my shotgun!" The boys were scared, but they knew he couldn't hear them in the backyard of his house. Then they got to their digsite and began digging. After a while, Jeffrey hit somthing with his shovel. "Hey guys, over here!" he said quietly. A few of the others came to him and discovered a coffin! One boy said "It looks like a treasure chest from some pirate movie!" "No, i think its some chest for dead people." Ronold stated, sitting on the ground, tired and hungery. They cracked it open and found a wrapped body anda note ontop of it. Jeffrey Opened the note. Reading aloud, it said "You have disturbed my wifes slumber, now you shall join her." The boys instantly froze in fear, then they slowly stepped back. One boy tripped and fell on the back porch, startling Old man Stones. "YOU BLASTED ANIMALS, IM GONNA GET YOU!" And then a cocking sound was heard, as if he was loading his gun. The boys started to cry in fear. A slow moan filled the silence, and loud thumps could be heard from the house. The boys knew they were cornered and Old Man Stones kicked the back door open and started to fire! He shot one kid in the back and nearly got another in the shoulder. His wife lifted herself from the cold crypt and inched her way to the boys, slowly devouring their flesh. Soon enough, the boys were nothing more then bones and blood. Old Man Stones stared at his wife and screamed with a bone-chilling wail. Then it grew silent. Monthes later a couple moved into Old Man Stones house. "Its alittle old and rickety, but we can fix it up!" Said Jonh, married to Susan. Thud! "What was that!?" Susan yelped. "Im not sure, I think it was the back door." John said, walking up to the very door that Old Man Opened the night he was killed. It creeked open and Mr. and Mrs. Stone was standing there, and they gave a blood-boiling scream! John joined heir screams and then it was silent. Susan was alone. "John?" she spoke silently. No answer. She spoke agian. There was a moan. "Honey?" The last thing that was heard from that house ever agian was a cry of pain and moaning sounds from that house of death.
