- The viper
     

     
    P aul was a wealthy
retired businessman who lived alone in a large house just out
beyond the mall. His wife had died years earlier and they had no
children. Paul took great pride in his house and always kept it in
impeccable condition. One sunny day, Paul was out in his garden and
had a heart attack. The ambulance took him to the hospital as fast
as possible, but it was too late.
    Paul left his house and belongings to his
only living heir, his niece Beth. Paul had only meet Beth a few
times as a child. She lived in the next state over in a small run
down apartment. Beth also lived alone since she was not married.
When Beth found out that she had inherited a large house and money
to live in it, she became very excited and looked forward to
starting a new life. She packed her few belongings up and moved
into her Uncle Paul’s house. She looked forward to making it her
own.
    A couple of nights later, Beth had just
finished dinner when the phone rang breaking the silence of the
house. She answered the phone with a, “Hello.” A voice on the other
side said, “I am the Viper and I vill be there tomorrow.” Beth did
not know what to think. The Viper would be here tomorrow? Who could
that be? Why would he be coming here? She thought maybe it was a
wrong number or a prank call. She decided to ignore it and settle
in for a good night’s sleep.
    Beth awoke refreshed and went to the kitchen
to make some breakfast. While she was enjoying her second cup of
coffee the phone rang. Remembering the strange call from the
evening before, Beth answered it hesitantly. The voice on the other
end said, “This is the Viper and I vill be there this afternoon,”
and then hung up.
    Beth started to become afraid. Should she
call the police? Should she leave the house and take a room at the
local hotel? Beth decided to pick some flowers out of the garden
and, being such a beautiful day, she became preoccupied and time
flew by. It was well after lunch when the phone rang again. Beth
thought about not answering it, but decided to anyway. “Hello,” she
said. The voice on the other end said, “This is the Viper and I’ll
be there in less than an hour.”
    Beth froze with fear. She hung up the phone
and then immediately called the police. After telling the police
her story, they said that they would be right out. After hanging up
with the police, she felt better and unplugged the phone from the
wall.
    About fifteen minutes later, there came a
knock at the front door. Beth, thinking it was the police, rushed
to the door and opened it. There in front of her stood a large
unshaven man, his shirt wet with sweat, his long graying hair
blowing in the breeze. He had a tool of some sort in one hand and a
bucket in the other. Beth’s legs almost collapsed under her,
thinking that a maniac was about to torture and kill her. The man
looked up at her and said, “I am the viper and I am here to do my
monthly vindow vashing and viping.”

Chapter 15 - A full moon
     

     
    A paranormal
investigative group in the state was called to a haunted house. The
homeowners warned the group that the house was haunted by an
especially "evil" spirit that enjoyed playing pranks. The team
leader of the paranormal society invited a close friend to come
along. He was a physicist and amateur paranormal investigator, who
everyone called "Doc". Doc believed that there were no such things
as ghosts or poltergeists, and that every type of haunting or
unusual phenomenon had a reasonable, earthly explanation.
    They traveled across the state in three
vehicles filled with team members and equipment. Upon arriving at
the home, the team immediately started setting up the monitoring
equipment as the team leader and his friend, Doc, received a tour
of the home from the homeowner.
    At one point in the tour, as the three men
approach the staircase that led to the second floor, very loud
footsteps could be heard on the upstairs landing.
