FROM SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK
THE THING
Ted Martin and Sam Miller were good friends. They spent a
lot of time together. On this particular night they were
sitting on a fence near the post office talking about one
thing and another. There was a field of turnips across the
road. Suddenly they saw something crawl out of the field
and stand up. It looked like a man, but in the dark it was
hard to tell for sure. Then it was gone. But soon it
appeared again. It walked halfway across the road, then it
turned around and went back into the field. Then it came
out a third time and started toward them. By now Ted and
Tom were scared, and they started running. But when they
finally stopped, they decided they were being foolish. They
weren't sure what has scared them. So they decided to go
back and get a better look. Pretty soon they saw it, for it
was coming to meet them. It was wearing black pants, a
white shirt, and black suspenders. Sam said, "I'm going to
try to touch it. Then we'll know if it's real." He walked
up to it and peered into its face. It had bright
penetrating eyes sunk deep in its head. It looked like a
skeleton. Ted took one look and screamed, and again he and
Sam ran, but this time the skeleton followed them. When
they got to Ted's house they stood in the doorway and
watched it. It stayed out in the road for a while. Then it
disappeared. A year later Ted got sick and died. Toward the
end, Sam sat up with him every night. The night Ted died,
Sam said he looked just like the skeleton.
