(S25) - PT 4 - Spooky Scary Season

[charlit]

Chambers used to be the biggest fan of haunted houses. Back in high school, he and his friends would rent a warehouse and set it up to be as scary as possible. This would include making it pitch black when people entered, decorating the place with bloody, disassembled legs and arms, and scaring people when they came in. The week before Halloween, Chambers always helped hang up flyers around school inviting everyone to come. Over the years their haunted warehouse became wildly popular, attracting over 100 people every year.

The highlight of the haunted warehouse was the killer who would chase patrons around whilst holding two knives. Chambers, being the fastest of his friends, would be the one to fulfill this role. During his junior year of high school, he tried to get out of this role due to being sore from football. Nevertheless, his friends convinced him to do it anyway, arguing even if he were just jogging, he would still be faster than everyone else. That Halloween night, he found this to be accurate as he chased around terrified people and didn’t even have to sprint. This changed, however, when he started chasing someone dressed up as Yoda. Yoda was fast, and Chambers eventually decided to sprint to catch up to them. When Chambers finally reached them, he tripped and found himself hurtling towards the floor. This Yoda had stuck out the cane they were holding, and it was too dark for Chambers to notice. After Chambers gingerly got up, the Yoda had vanished. Chambers injured his knee during the fall and was done chasing people around for the night. After getting chewed out by his head coach the next day, Chambers decided he was done with haunted houses. Today, Chambers prefers to take things easy by staying home to pass out candy.
