The School Bully Runs Scared!!

Oct 31, 1999. The air was cool and the ghost and goblins were out looking for sweets. I wanted to do something special this year. Instead of just throwing on some makeup and handing out candy. My cousin and I decided we were going to scare the life out of the Older kids that were out hunting for candy. It took us about an hour to get our costumes on. I looked like I was a deranged man, I had bloody clothes and blood smeared on my face wielding a meat clever. My cousin looked like a zombie that was on a brain diet. bloody eyes and skin peeling from his face.

The way this was setup was simple, We had decorations along the sidewalk and there was a big box there that was marked "Body Parts". We had took fake body parts and laid them around the box. But, the trick was I was under the box and there was a peep hole so I could see the kids coming up to receive their treats. Some of the kids I would not scare because they were young and I didn't want to give them nightmares. But the older kids I would fly up out of the box screaming to the top of my lungs and swinging a meat cleaver. These kids would run so hard that most of the time they dropped their candy bags and rand into the night.

Towards the end of the evening, Another car pulls up and we see it is the high school bully. This is the guy that picks on everyone to make himself feel better. Mr.Big shot. Well you get the idea. Anyways, he walks up and says "Give me some candy" My cousin was handing it out and he replied "Aren't you a little old for this?" Mr.Big shot then replied "So, Its free so I take advantage of it". My cousin then dropped a hand full of candy into his bag and then it happened. As he was walking back to his car, I threw the box in the air, screamed to the top of my lungs and lunged towards Mr.Big shot. At this point his eyes was as wide as a dinner plate and you could see the fear on his facial expression. He took off running down my yard yelling "Get away from me!". I kept chasing him and making noises that no human should ever make. By the time he reached the next road beside my house he had thrown his candy bag to the ditch and was running out of breath. I caught him and he dropped to his knees as I pulled my meat cleaver back as if I was going to sink it into his head and he started crying and begging for me to stop. At this point I could not hold it any longer I busted into laughter and revealed myself to him. He was so relieved to see that I wasn't really a maniac psycho killer but someone he knew from school. He then decided it was time to go home. As we walked back to his car he was weeping and wiping the tears from his eyes. He then said "Please do not tell anyone about this" to which I said "I'm telling everyone about it". He got in his car and sped away. But, The reason I feel so satisfied is that no matter how big and bad someone thinks they are, when in the presence of danger they weep as if they were simply a child. This was the best Halloween ever to me, and the revenge was so sweet.
