Short Horror Stories Book 2

Sleepover

I was sleeping over at friend's house. That night we heard scratching at his window and neither of us wanted to sit up and loo. We did ask each other if we heard it, and we both did.

Maybe 20 minutes later, we heard yelling from outside his room down in their living room. We heard my friend's dad saying, "Move and I shoot". We got up to see what was going on, expecting a burglar. It ended up being a bald guy in what looked like a hospital gown crouched over in a corner with my friend's dad pointing a handgun at him. This dude kept staring at all of us, slamming his hands on the ground, trying to scare us away like we were animals.

turns out he was a some guy that escaped from a mental hospital. Creepy thing is there isn't one of them within 30 miles of the town I live in.
