Eddie and the Cursed Stake
Eddie loved decorating his yard for Halloween. His favorite piece was a wooden stake he’d found at a flea market — old, cracked, and carved with strange runes. He drove it into the ground beside a skeleton prop and laughed.
That night, the wind howled, and Eddie woke to a faint thump… thump… thump outside. The stake was glowing red, pulsing like a heartbeat. Suddenly, the skeleton turned its head toward him.
Eddie froze as the ground split open. A cold hand shot out, gripping the stake. A whisper followed: “You freed me.”
The next morning, neighbors saw Eddie’s decorations perfectly arranged — except for one new detail. A wooden stake stood in the center of the yard, slick with fresh blood, and Eddie was nowhere to be found.
