Coffin Chase
A man is walking home alone late on Halloween night. It's dark,
and the streetlights are out. Suddenly, he hears, "BUMP!
BUMP! BUMP!" behind him. He walks faster, but the sound
keeps coming.
"BUMP! BUMP! BUMP!"
Worried he is being followed, he glances behind him and through
the darkness, he can just see an upright coffin. No one seems
to be holding the coffin, it's just bumping down the street
behind him.
The man is scared. He's sure it's following him! In an effort
to shake it off, her turns a corner. To his relief, the sound
stops. He keeps walking but before a minute has passed, he hears
the familiar sound behind him again:
"BUMP! BUMP! BUMP!"
He is terrified! He starts to run towards his home, but the
faster he runs, the faster the coffin bounces along behind him!
"BUMPITY BUMP! BUMPITY BUMP! BUMPITY BUMP!"
He pushes open his front gate, and runs up the path, fumbling
for his keys. He coffin reaches the gate and effortlessly pushes
it open. It's right behind him!!!
Finally his shaking hands manage to unlock his front door.
He has no time to slam it behind him, the coffin is right on
his heels! He rushes up the stairs, praying the coffin cannot
climb after him.
"BUMP! BUMP! BUMP!"
The coffin pauses at the bottom of the stairs. The man breathes
a sigh of relief but ...
"CLAPPITY BUMP! CLAPPITY BUMP CLAPPITY BUMP!"...
The coffin is now climbing the stairs behind him. He runs to
the bathroom - perhaps he can lock himself in there! His heart
pounds and his lungs hurt with the exertion of running for his
life! He has only just latched the bathroom door when ...
CRASH!!!
The coffin breaks through the bathroom door!
What can he do? The coffin is nearly upon him! He reaches out
for something heavy that he can throw at the coffin, and his
hand comes to rest on a large bottle of cough syrup.
Desperately, he throws the cough syrup as hard as he can at
the coffin and …
(wait for it)
.........finally the coffin stops!!
