Scarey Halloween Story

It was a cold, miserable night...the winds were howling, pushing the trees against the roof of the little cabin in the woods.  Slivers of rain poured in torrents off the sides of the roof, every lightening bolt made the occupants of the cabin jump.

Four people huddled together, sitting in front of a roaring fireplace, seeking warmth.  They were all young very alive and bored to death.  Seth, a nice looking young man of about 20, turned to Angie, a not quite beautiful - but almost there girl of about 18, asking "Ange, don't you have something we could play? Take our minds off this storm? Damn boring just to sit."  Angie smiled, turned to the other girl, asking "Sabrina..where did we put that one board game? You know, the one where you ask the board questions and it answers you?"

Sabrina started to get up, she was a real beauty with dark flowing hair, pleasant smile..."oh, let me look, just a minute I'll find it" as she exited into the next room.  The other young man in the room started to get up saying..."wait a second, I remember seeing it when we loaded in the supplies...it's in the kitchen"..Sabrina turned to him and said "Oh, Tony you notice everything..how do you keep it all in your head?"

Within minutes the two of them returned bantering with each as couples tend to do.  Sabrina held the game in her arms, "where do you want to play?" she asked the group.  They pulled a small cocktail table over by the fireplace so they could see better and opened the game.  They started to position the pointer shifting positions slightly so that all four would be able to lightly touch the pointer surface.

A sudden burst of lightening illuminated the whole room casting hideous shadows of imagined creatures against the walls, just at that moment the pointer zoomed to "Goodbye".  "Hey! Come on guys, don't fool around " said Angie.  Tony, Seth and Sabrina looked at one another and said in unison "No, we didn't do anything..we didn't move it really".Angie said  "Ok, let's start again but really concentrate this time please".

This time theboard seemed to have a life of it's own..it was moving easily on the different letters, first an R, followed by A J I R A P O O R.."Hold it, hold it" Seth shouted ...it's spelling out a name! Raji Rapoor..look! Sure enough it was. "Oh" groaned Sabrina " I know that name". "A few years ago, there was a horrible murder committed in our town...they found this poor young man's body murdered and his head was missing!!"

Tony said "yes, I remember that...they never did find his head did they?" Sabrina shook her head no.  The others looked at each other and Angie said "Well guys the board is evidently trying to tell us something...unless one of you is doing this..why don't we continue and see what else it will say?"

They started to play again, this time addressing the board as Raji, asking who he was, what had happened on that terrible night years ago? The answers started slowly coming off the board one letter at a time...Seth had opted not to touch the pointer this time, but instead to write down all the letters that were flowing off the board.

It started with an..I  W  A  S  M  U  R  D E  R E  D B Y  A  R I  V  A   L  M  Y   W  I  F  E  A  R  R  A N  G  E  D   I  T...M  Y   H  E   A   D  I  S   I N  A  B L  A  C  K  B  A  G  A  T   U  R  D  O  O  R..

Then the pointer just stopped. Nada, Nothing..no movement...the group breathed a deep sigh jointly..Seth said..."Yum, guys...err..we have a problem..ummm." " Come on spell it out, what's wrong?" Angie wanted to know.  Seth handed the paper that he had been writing on to Angie, she started to read it and her face went totally white. Sabrina grabbed the paper, saying "okay, a jokes a joke but it's not funny anymore"  She looked down at the paper and it said:

I was murdered by a rival, my wife arranged it, my head is in a black bag at ur front door.

Tony, either out of bravery or stupidity, reached the front door first...gingerly opening it - there sat a black bag.   "I'm not opening that bag" Tony said.."in fact, I'm out of here"  The rest of the group grabbed their coats and ran for the door...

What do you think was in the bag?  Who do you think placed it there?
