Jenna by K. Adams
Page 3 of 3 Most of these stories come from the towns drunks and elders putting a little
fright into the hearts of the young and gullible. I had held this house as an
auger to the foolish when I was a child.
Now , in this day in age,this place is considered a rite of passage for any
young man daring enough or drunk enough or in love enough to prove himself to
his peers.
Wow..!!!That was ALL of them screaming...this will be talked about for
weeks.
I hope Jenna is thinking of me..I want so badly for her to find her way to
this crypt.. not just a crypt...
but the LeBeau Family Crypt ..I would have a great story to tell if I were
not so reluctant to admit how I wound up here.I kept thinking on Jennas' smile
and that wonderful laugh that brought all this to my soul as a cruel
awakening.
I want to feel wanted and loved as much as I love her..And for all the pride
that has me sitting here in this stinking place ,to simply vanish.
Maybe she is scared within the car waiting for me..hearing the shouts and
banging upon those old wooden walls.
"Please come" I wish aloud."I need to know you want me."
I notice now that all is silent and the rain has stopped.No bangs or shouts
coming from the house.No flashlights bouncing crazily off its walls.Actually
there is no light at all.My breath echoes within the cement walls of this dank
cave of the dead.
Torrids of mosquitoes are buzzing around my ears waiting to land and draw
blood.
I have been here a long time now in this silence.
I am defeated...My pride has won me nothing but large mosquito welps upon my
hands and face.
I pick up my head to listen...I hear someone coming toward me ..I guess it's
Brian coming to tell me of all the fun I missed.Giving me the blow by blows of
terrorizing these poor girls into relative hysteria and manic crying.Putting
his arm around me and leading me back to the car to sit next to a betrayed and
frightened Jenna who spent the last two hours alone and in fear locked in a car
huddling down from the shadows and screams coming from inside the house.
I am the coward who abandoned her at her most vunerable.She will never love
me now.
Or will she...?
SHE IS COMING....!!!
I see her through the trees!!I can do nothing to keep my heart from beating
so fast.I have been waiting for her to come and SHE IS HERE!!
So many thoughts evaporate because now I know she wants me..Now I know she
NEEDS me.
Joy is in my heart now and I want so badly to say I'm sorry.
She comes closer to me and puts a cold hand to my face.
It doesn't matter that the others are so close behind and loping.
It doesn't matter the smell of road kill on her breath.. or that her mouth
is red and foamy.
It doesn't matter that her eyes are clouded and milky white.
It doesn't matter that all the others are upon me now, pulling and biting at
my flesh.
My eyes are looking at the face I love as her jaws open wide and her teeth
bare out.
Jenna is smiling at me...
I made Jenna smile..
