Sigh. He'd wake up from another nightmare. Billy has had these nightmares for 19 years, ever since he was born. Usually he could remember them, but once he thought about this one, his vision got cloudy. He laid in bed, drenched in sweat, and clinching to the bed cover ever so tightly. He looked at his alarm clock, 4:31 A.M. Since he knew any attempt to go back to sleep would be pointless, he went downstairs into the kitchen. Billy lived in an hotel with two floors. The first one with his living room, dining room, and kitchen while the second one had his bedroom. His bedroom had a twin sized bed, with nothing on it except a sheet. As much as he sweated at night, he kept the sheet for plain comfort. It's silky and smooth touch comforted him.

After drinking his coffee and eating some EGGO waffles, he went outside. It was bright and sunny. Streets filled with beaming children and humorous parents. A man in black sweat pants and dark gray hoodie looked at Billy and slipped a letter in his pocket. The mysterious man dashed away leaving Billy standing there alone, and utterly confused. As he ripped open the fragile envelope and carefully removed the letter contained inside it, he began to read it.

"Dear Billy,
I would like your presence at my moonlight mansion party. A lucky dozen are chosen each year to attend and you were the first pick. It starts at midnight tonight and ma-" Billy ignored this, and his eyes swiftly locked on to the address. He memorized this and set out his way for party city. When he went in he immediately found a pirate costume and set out. The drive was long and he was worried he would be considered late.

The outside of the dark, woodland mansion was a graveyard and the only way to get in, was to go through. Billy, still ecstatic speed walked through the graveyard waiting to see what was inside the mysterious house. Just when he could see the end, he froze. His leg turned stiff and icy cold. When he yanked it, it just cause extreme pain. He heard a long groan and then a crunching noise. Pain shot through his leg as he finally looked at the deceased woman gnawing on his leg. Blood drizzled down his calve and into her mouth. Her lifeless eyes along with her cold embrace made Billy shiver. He got his plastic sword and swung at her until her head popped off.

Billy sprinted inside breathless and bleeding out. He saw a group of young adults chatting and ran into the room. Just as they noticed him and his leg he passed out. He woke up on a bed with a man dressed as a dolphin wrapping bandages on his leg. "Hey Matey. How are you doing?" the man asked. "F-f-fine..." Billy muttered back.

Billy was still in shock. A line of blood came from the doorway from which he came through. There were a group of people. A man trying to calm a woman down and a shady 14 year old. This was not as many people as he saw. "What happened to the rest?" Billy asked the man mending his wounds. "They all choose to leave us. When they got out of the house..." he stopped. He needn't finish because Billy knew. They were all murdered.

Billy could finally get up after an hour and started to introduce himself and ask questions. He went first to the crazed couple. "Calm down Jenni!" shouted the man"I can't Harold! Were all going to die." Jenni said before she started to uncontrollably sob. Billy tried to start conversation, "Hey. Who are y'all?" "I'm Harold and this is my wife Jenni. Now could you please go bother someone else?" Harold replied.

Billy understood, took no offense, nodded and then left them alone. He went to the young child. "Hey. I'm Billy what's your name?" The child just grunted and left the room. Seconds after that Billy heard a murderous scream. They all ran to see what happened and there hung the boy, his neck tied on by a rope hanging from the ceiling.

Jenni began to SCREAM. "That's it! Were leaving!" Harold shouted. He picked up Jenni and walked out the door. Just when there was a moment of peace, a slimmer of hope Billy and his doctor could escape, the couple banged on the windows. Their flesh was already rotten. An eyeball of Jenni's had fallen out. They were zombies, just like the one that bit Billy. "Doc, get away from me! I've already been bitten, so I'll turn into them soon! Try to leave, or kill me if you have to!" The Doc turned and glared at Billy. His eyes were red, skin was gray. His dolphin suit had disappeared, with black, ragged clothes taking it's place. "I'm SOOOO glad you made it to my party Billy! Oh, the fun we'll have! I haven't had a playmate in years! And I'm sooo hungry, Billy. So hungry... to EAT YOU!"

Billy grabbed a nearby chair and slammed it against his face. Tears of fear streamed down his eyes. He sprinted for a closet and locked himself in it. After what seemed like hours Billy fell asleep. Some say Billy escaped and burned the Mansion and buried the others. Some say he was killed. But they all know when they hear a bloodcurdling scream in the middle of the night while they caress and grip onto their loved ones tightly, they know it is Billy's. They know, for it is a town legend, about The night of Horror.
