The Mortition

Once there was a 12 year old boy, named Jack. He was 5'11. His parents died in a fire, so he went with his uncle Lu who is a mortition. His Uncle was an old man who always creeped Jack out. Jack was treated unfairly and had nothing to do, except play with his one and only basketball.

Lu has a basement with dead bodies ready for funerals. Jack was playing with his basketball during the funeral for the Morrison family taking place in the living room. His basketball went down deep, deep into the basement. Jack has always been scared of the basement, but he wanted to be brave. The power went out and he couldnt see the stairs and fell. Lu has said " if you make to much noise you will pay".

Jack stopped falling and was scared because he couldn't find his way back in the pitch black. Jack heard everyone leaving and he started to scream for help, but Jack didn't know more people were coming in. Lu got mad and went down to the basement with a gun and killed Jack. Lu had only one coffin left which he used to put Jack in, but Jack was too tall, so Lu had to cut Jack's legs off. Lu put Jack's basketball with him in the coffin with Jack.

FIVE YEARS LATER... Lu was putting another body into a coffin when he heard thump, thump, thump. He saw a basketball hop from the top of the stairs. Then he saw in the corner Jack with a knife. The basketball stopped and Lu saw a bloody Frown Face.... =(
