It was a dark and stormy night in the town of Albany. The whole town had an air of bad things to come, esspecially surrounding the haunted mansion on Old Salem Road. The women of the house had no idea of the horror that lay wait in their future...
It was a day like any other. the younger woman went to school like any other day did homework like any other day and checked her email like any other day. But then when the time came to bring the dog in, a dark cloud came about the girl and she became frightened!
What could be coming to her that chilled her bones so?
She slowly opened the back door only to see...no one standing there! not masked robber, no angry skunk. a sigh of relief came from her lungs. The rain fell heavy on the steps leading to the dog pen...slippery steps, could this be her demise?!
Carefully, with one hand braced on the door frame, she gathered her courage and descended the stairs. At the last step, her heart yelped with joy! but wait! what if there was a sink hole at the bottom waiting to swallow her whole?! Scared once again, she shyly pushed one toe down on the ground to test her next steps and finally, she made it to the dog pen! Safety at last! She opened the pen and...
A dog yelps!
A girl screams!
What?!
Could it be?
Oh no!
It has happened!
The mother rushes to the kitchen where the faithful dog had lead the poor girl still clutching her hand tightly. screams still threatening to pierce her lips.
As she had opened the gate, the dog with such excitement and joy, jumped with anticipation, bumping into the gate and slamming it closed with the girl's finger still in the way of the latch!
The horror of that night still haunts the dreams of all who hear the story. The agony that captured the girl's finger is gone now but the memory will never fade....
