In games like Fable 2 or World of Warcraft I tend to create 2 characters, one male and one female. I find playing attractive males wielding giant weapons a little more realistic than a tiny woman wielding them. (and somewhat more enjoyable.)

One night, a 16 year old girl was babysitting for two young boys. Their parents weren't due to come home until very late, so she let them stay up and watch some TV.

One of the boys was flipping channels when he came to an emergency news bulletin. The reporter said that a crazed murderer had escaped from a nearby insane asylum and was on the run from the local authorities. He was believed to be in the area and was armed with a hatchet. The police cautioned residents to lock their doors and windows because the man was extremely dangerous.

The young boys began to panic and the babysitter didn't want them to get upset, so she put them to bed early. As she tucked them in, they kept asking her if she had locked all the doors and windows. She assured them that she would lock everything. Then she went back downstairs and resumed watching television.

Some time later, one of the boys was awoken by a loud crash. He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, so he sat up in bed and listened intently. After a while, he began to hear weird sounds coming from downstairs.

Drag. Thump thump drag. Thump thump drag.

He wondered if he was just letting his imagination run away with him. Maybe it was just the sound of the babysitter watching television downstairs.

Thump thump drag. Thump thump drag. Thump thump drag.

The boy heard the sound again and woke his brother. Together, they listened at the door to the bedroom.

Thump thump drag. Thump thump drag. Thump thump drag.

The boys began to shake with fear. Terrified, they pushed their beds up against the door and barricaded themselves inside their bedroom.

Thump thump drag. Thump thump drag. Thump thump.

The sounds eventually stopped, but the boys were too afraid to leave the safety of their bedroom. For hours, they cowered in their bedroom, with their beds jammed securely against the door.

Later that night, when the boys' parents returned, they were shocked to find a gruesome scene. There was a trail of blood leading from the hallway all the way up the stairs. In a panic, the mother screamed out her son's names. When the two boys heard their mother calling, they pulled back their beds and opened their bedroom door.

Lying at the top of the stairs, in a pool of her own blood, was their babysitter. Her arms had been cut off at the elbows and her legs had been cut off at the knees. She had used her bloody stumps to drag herself up the stairs, trying to warn them.

On March 12, 2007 one the /b/ board of **** an anonymous user posted a .GIF. At a first glance, strangely, the .GIF wasn't animated. It was titled IM_HAPPY.GIF, and showed what appeared to be a drawing of a smiley face, only with realistic looking eyes and mouth. People who clicked on it saw the smiley face's smile slowly turn into a frown, and the eyes taking on an angrier appearance. The smiley face would then scream loudly-loud enough to burst eardrums-and gruesome images of animals being tortured, rapes, Hiroshima victims, aborted fetuses, and mutilated bodies would flash by quickly. After about 5 minutes, it would show the words Have nice day (sic), and the user's computer would automatically close out of the browser, and would stop working, as if a virus had corrupted the hard drive. People whose computers were infected would shortly be found in their homes, skinned and mutilated, with a smiley face painted in blood on the floor next to their corpses. moot, the founder of **** would always claim that the picture never existed, and that the murders were unrelated. However, somewhere in the archives, the picture still exists. However, most people who attempt to post it are usually swiftly banned by moot.

One school day, a boy named Tom was sitting in class and doing math. It was six more minutes until after school. As he was doing his homework, something caught his eye.

His desk was next to the window, and he turned and looked to the grass outside. It looked like a picture. When school was over, he ran to the spot where he saw it. He ran fast so that no one else could grab it.

He picked it up and smiled. It had a picture of the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She had a dress with tights on and red shoes, and her hand was formed into a peace sign.

She was so beautiful he wanted to meet her, so he ran all over the school and asked everyone if they knew her or have ever seen her before. But everyone he asked said "No." He was devastated.

When he was home, he asked his older sister if she knew the girl, but unfortunately she also said "No." It was very late, so Tom walked up the stairs, placed the picture on his bedside table and went to sleep.

In the middle of the night Tom was awakened by a tap on his window. It was like a nail tapping. He got scared. After the tapping he heard a giggle. He saw a shadow near his window, so he got out of his bed, walked toward his window, opened it up and followed the giggling. By the time he reached it, it was gone.

The next day again he asked his neighbors if they knew her. Everybody said, "Sorry, no." When his mother came home he even asked her if she knew her. She said "No." He went to his room, placed the picture on his desk and fell asleep.

Once again he was awakened by a tapping. He took the picture and followed the giggling. He walked across the road, when suddenly he got hit by a car. He was dead with the picture in his hand.

The driver got out of the car and tried to help him, but it was too late. Suddenly he saw the picture and picked it up.

He saw a cute girl holding up three fingers.

Har har.

Because they're cheap and good.

No.

Not really in my town, but Evil Dead was filmed nearby, about an hour and a half drive from where I am.

"Entertainment for the ladies:"

Needs more Bruce Campbell and Ewan McGregor.
