It was Halloween night, 1998. I remember it so clearly it’s like a good movie. My friends; Sebastian, Chol, and Bectas (Bectosh). We were getting on our costumes for Halloween. Sebastian was going as a Yeti, Chol, a Killer Werewolf and Bectas, Jason. My costume was pretty good, in my opinion of course, they thought it was childish but an army man was pretty cool to me. We finished getting our costumes on and got our pillow cases as our candy bags. We went out my door and got some candy for about three hours. Until we met another guy, that seemed to trail us. I remember Sebastian pushing the guy after he got too close. The kid started to cry, he was dressed up as a Clown; so obviously he was young. Me and my other friends got angry, at Sebastian for hurting that kid. We helped the kid up and let him come along with us. He didn’t seem to talk at all, he didn’t even say trick r’ treat at the houses. He just sat there. He was wearing a mask I think; instead of wearing makeup. We came to a road after a bit, that had no street lights; I think they were burned out. I remember Bectas gagging then falling to the ground. Blood pooled around him. We immediately went to the closest house and got them, to call 911. They took Bectas away; they told us he had broken his neck. We went back to my house, the kid came along with us; saying he was lost. So we let him stay. He was hyper at my place, running around laughing like a crazed clown. We got him to settle down. My parents left after a while saying they were going with Bectas’s mom to the hospital. We stayed at my house until midnight. It got kind of creepy with no parents at my house and a hyper clown in the room. When the clock hit midnight; the lights went out. I remember calling Sebastian and Chol. They responded and we heard that kids laugh. I heard a scream and felt a liquid hit my face. I called out again. Another scream. I called out again; and no response. I cried for help and the lights went back on. I saw Chol’s body and Sebastian’s body lying on the ground. Balloons and streamers were every where, and the kid was nowhere to be found.
