Why is this on this wiki, don't mean to be rude but this isn't a horror story. Also, as the others before me said, there are alot of grammar mistakes and wierd phrasing. Some of the stuff is too formal and some just sounds like stuff no one in this era would say.

Also, when you're writing, don't put a - before a dialogue. When there is a dialogue, you should use inverted commas (" ") Also you should tell who is saying what. You don't have to do this all the time if the dialogue is between two people. For example:

"Poop tastes awesome!" Matt exclaimed.

"Pizza is way better," Ben replied.

"No, dude, you're nuts, poop is amazing!"

"Pizza!"

"Poop!"

This way, as the dialogue progresses on, you know who is saying what as they take turns.

If there is a dialogue between three or more people, however, you need to tell who is saynig what:

"Chicken is the best of all three!" Calvin chimed in.

"No, pizza!" Ben said.

"Poop, you guys!" Matt said.

Ok, you got it?

Psycho killer out!
