Spooky Story I woke up in the middle of the night to find you standing by my bed, shining your flashlight. It shone down on me, illuminating faces full of fear, both mine and yours. We clearly heard their voices downstairs. They had come for us and what was rightfully ours. John, himself, had seen them yesterday, down by the river. She was creeping along with him wearing that black hat of hers to hide her stringy, long hair, while he hid his hideous face with a scarf. John saw a campsite of theirs, its campfire still smoldering. Suddenly, the phone rang and answered by itself saying “We came back for our revenge”. After a while everything got quite even though dogs stopped barking. She held John hand tightly and they sat down on the floor for few minutes. They didn’t speak and moved for a while. John went downstairs and checked all the rooms and there was nobody. Suddenly, John heard her screamed and ran upstairs like a bullet and what he saw a dead body on the floor and that was his wife. It was witching hour on a dark moonless night. He was holding his wife body in his arms, kissing and crying. Suddenly, he heard their voices downstairs again. He stopped crying for a moment. He didn’t know that was his last day of his life. The phone rang once again and answered itself saying” remembered Oct 4th at 2 am”. John knew that day and time very well because he accidentally murdered a married couple on this day. He and his wife were coming from a party; john was drunk and hit them down by the river exactly where john saw a campsite of theirs. John ran outside to the forest and while he was running his right foot got injured and he felt down on the floor. He tried to run but destiny was not with him on that day. They got him and killed him where he killed them. Today people still don’t know where his grave.

    In the early 17th century, numerous Puritans flocked from Britain to the new developing colonies along the east coast of Northern America. Marriage and family values were the epitome of the Puritan way of life. Marriage in Puritan society was greatly influenced by the millennium which led men and women to marry for particular reasons. This can be proven throughout Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible where Puritan couples in Salem, Massachusetts such as the Proctors, Putnams, Coreys, and Nurses chose to wed because it provided specific roles for each spouse, it allowed them to fulfill their religious duty of procreation, and also because it gave more authority to women.…

But little did John know that Ann had surrendered to the storm while he was trying to fight the storm only to come home, to see what was happening while he was gone.

    Every day she would brush her hair in the late afternoon sun. She would briefly see her husband and son and night. One night she told her husband that she could no longer see the boy, so the boy and husband slipped notes to her under the door. Then one night when she notes were slipped to her, she went to the corner of the room to get away from them, like she couldn’t stand the notes. Then one day the husband and son came home to find that woman had made five loaves of bread, ham, turkey, three different pies, the boy’s favorite custard, two weeks of fresh laundry, and other things were made for them. The husband goes to her room only to find that she is dead. I believe that she had killed herself because it became too much for her to handle even though she wasn’t really interacting with them at all. The first sentence says that “there was a wife and mother once too many times.” I believe that this means that she shouldn’t have been a wife or a mother to begin…

    I awoke today with the light streaming into my room and hearing the birds chirping in the distance. As I regained my conscience, I smelled the mold and felt damp room conditions all around me that imprisoned me. It reminded me of what would have happened only in a nightmare. It was only yesterday that Corey, Nurse, Hale and I had gone to help the accused women. So many times I felt that I could win the battle, yet just as many times I could feel the rope slipping through my fingers.…
