... Some say that If you listen close you can still hear her sing us home...
Her name was Laney, she was sixteen years old and president of her school drama club. She had shiny blonde hair, melting blue eyes, and when she smiled her face lit up the entire room.
She also had a beautiful voice, and when she sang her "chimes" would fill the air with sweet harmony, as if the wind itself stopped to hear her lullabye.
Jake was her boyfriend, he was on the football team. he was very controlling and jealous if she would even look at another guy. so Laney did her best not to get into any arguements with him.
It was three days until *Halloween* and Laney was nominated to put on a "spook-house" in the huge auditorium.
The whole drama club would stay after school setting up cardboard walls spray-painted in black and covered in glitter, they hung cotton webs and dangling rubber spiders through out, trick doors and skeletons were set about, ghoulish ghosts of white bed sheets hung from above, as did red and black strobe lights that were carefully mounted. It was just about perfect.
On the day of *Halloween* Laney was putting the finishing touches on it. She was singing and swirling about, as Jake walked up behind her. He saw her and another boy laughing, singing, dancing and hugging one another as they were pleased with their horrific creation.
Jake pushed the much smaller boy violently to the ground as he grabbed Laney by the arm. The boy got up with a broken wrist and ran in fear as Laney *Snapped at Jake, he grew even more furious and pushed her into the spook-house.
He started screaming at her, knocking Laney around the dark corners!, without thinking she scratched his face in anger, drawing blood!
Jake slammed her to the ground where she landed on a huge board full of rusty nails, her glossy eyes rolled back in her head as thick bloody saliva oozed from her cherry lips... she died almost instantly.
"What have I done!!?" Jake cried out. "Laney!! Please ..NO..!" A million things ran through Jakes mind at once as he wrapped her lifeless body in one of the over hanging sheets. He dragged her behind the curtain as he dashed out to his car and backed up to the auditorium exit door...
When Jake ran back inside to put her fresh corpse in the car she was GONE!
No blood, no sheet, not even any sign of a struggle could be found.
Next the principal walked onto the stage. He looked around, and asked Jake if he had seen Laney. Jake was shaking and nervously said no. Just then Laney could be seen in the rafters near the celling. "Laney, my word child, what are you doing up there?" questioned the principal. "Come down from there before you fall, the spook-house opens in an hour." he added almost demanding.
Laney responded in a song;
I fear not of falling, for I have already fell,
My soul is still calling, to send my boyfriend straight to hell,
The show must go on, and this I guarentee,
before this night is gone, his soul is mine too keep!
...The winds "chimed" sadly...
At that moment all of the lights in the entire school went out!... next was heard a scream, and a chilling pout of blood it seemed...
When the lights returned Jake was hanging from atop an oblong noose, His eyes had burned, and his face was churned,
Oh yes, Laney's revenge was short but sweet, though she can still be heard singing like the "chimes" of the wind on shivering nights like these.
