He set out a plan but it backfires and he gets trampled without anyone knowing. Because he’s trapped in a Halloween costume and paralyzed by a spider sting!
***
Ricky could be the goofiest guy in the pack and for Halloween, he came up with an idea he was sure would get him loads of laughs. Yep - this year’s prank was going to be a scream.
Little did he know he’ll be screaming – inside – before Halloween night was through.
Ricky lived with his mom and older sister who was back from college. They lived in a town by a campus of an all-girl Catholic school.
Ricky was 18 and he liked nothing more than to scare people, so of course he loved Halloween. Every year he decorated the house with spooky stuff – fake bodies, blood and the whole lot of gags. This year though, he wanted to go a step ahead. He really wanted to all-out scare people out of their heads.
So, he had this great idea. For his Halloween theme, he decided to dress up like one of the dummies he normally used around the front yard. He then lay down next to the front door and planned to move and scare people, just when they approached him.
Ricky especially couldn’t wait for the girls from the Catholic school to show up. And then of course there were the college girls, who did trick or treat even though it was childish. To them it was still traditional, and they could get candy then go to college parties afterwards. Win, win – right?
So back to Ricky. He’d set the whole scenery just right, and had carefully decorated the house while his mom and sister went to the grocery store earlier. He didn’t tell his mom or sister that he planned to be a dummy to scare people. His mom and sister would be perfect to test the idea out when they got back.
Ricky was out at the front of the house, lying still when – wooow – he got bit on the neck by a spider. From the corner of his eye, Ricky watched it crawl away from him into the shadows. The bite stung like hell and he wanted nothing more than to break his dummy act and just jump up screaming but…he couldn’t move.
What?
This couldn’t be happening, thought Ricky, panicked and scared when he realized he really couldn’t move or yell. He felt an instant relief when suddenly he saw his mom and sister coming home. “Thank God,” thought Ricky. But to his surprise they didn’t even notice he was the one lying there lifeless.
Then Ricky realized, they thought he was just a prop and part of the decorations. He was dressed like a dead body with a mask and there were dead bodies all over the front yard so he blended in with them.
Ricky felt terror growing in his stomach. How long would he be paralyzed? what if he died of thirst? what if he froze to death? more and more horrifying outcomes raced through his mind. His fat however was far worse than any he could have imagined.
