The Story of Jack
It
was the night of 31st October and Jack was walking to a Halloween
party. Suddenly he stumbled against something that looked like a
stone and he fell down. While he was on the ground, he turned and saw
a strange think, he dug with his hands and he found a head. He
panicked and looked around: he realized he was in a graveyard.
Something caught his ankle: it was a hand. Jack ran away scared and
he took shelter in an empty house. He looked out of the window and
saw the graveyard full of zombies. Suddenly in the fog he saw a
headless man riding a black horse. The man was holding his head with
his right hand, it was the head Jack had seen before. The horseman
was riding towards him. Jack thought that his life had come to an
end, when he saw a door behind him. It led outside and as soon as he
was out, he started running, but the horseman followed him. Jack
understood that his only hope of survival was crossing the river,
because there were lights, on the other bank. He managed to swim
across but when he reached the other bank the horseman threw the head
he was holding towards him. When it hit Jack, the head exploded and
Jack disappeared in the smoke. No news about him have been heard
since. Somebody thinks that he went to another part of the world.
Somebody thinks that he became the slave of the headless horseman.
His end is unknown, it is the mystery of the village where he lived.
