The Umbrella Man.

No one really knows much about him, but everyday he stands outside with an umbrella above his head, even when it’s not even raining.

And that, is how the story started.

It was Halloween night, kids were going from door to door getting candy, and some kids were using the same old phrase:

‘Trick or treat, smell my feet’ or whatever it was, I don’t pay much mind to those kids.

KNOCK

KNOCK

“Arg! It’s one of those kids again!” I opened the door.

“What do you want k- ki- kid?” I stuttered, thinking everything was normal because a kid was in-front of me, I thought it was just another kid that came to my door for candy, but then, when the kid moved to the side, behind him was the ‘Umbrella Man’ I heard rumours about him, and I swear I saw him at least once, but why did he come to my door, but as I looked at both of their faces, the kid was full of fear, and the Umbrella Man? You couldn’t see even a little pinch of emotion behind that mask.

“You.. The Umbrella Man, huh? Why’d you come to my house, what did I do? And why are you going around with that defenceless, innocent and scared kid?” I asked, my throat started feeling weird, I started having a shaky voice, it was fear, I backed up as he came closer.

The Umbrella Man just stayed there, not a word came from him, but then, he gave me a note from his pocket, I hesitantly took it, I was visibly shaking, shivers going down my spine, the note said.

‘I won’t hurt you, just be careful of your actions, or I will end you.’

I shaked reading the note, on the back, it said my name.

‘Carson’.

Then, the umbrella man finally spoke.

“Just.. joking. Like everyone says, right?” His voice was deep and scary, it sounded odd..

He came closer and put his hand in his pocket, and came very close, and just grabbed my arm.

“Goodbye. Watch your actions young man.”

He stabbed Carson in the throat, after taking his pocket knife out.

Blood was everywhere, whatever happened to the kid?

Well, he was killed too.

The END.

Be careful of your actions,

and stay safe.
