Abraham

There you are Kiddies. Our FINAL-FABLE OF FRIGHTFUL-FEAR, is all about a Farming Family. They get some help from a scarecrow-like monster known as...
On a late-July day, back in 1920, a young girl sat out, on the front porch-steps of a farmhouse, in the countryside of western-Illinois. She held a female doll and brushed its hair with a brush, as the sound of a cow mooed from within the barn. Within the front room of the farmhouse, a man was sitting in a chair, smoking a pipe, and listening to a record on the record-player. The record player out in the hallway, played a record of "Turkey In The Straw". Outside, the young girl continued brushing her female doll's hair and two teenage bullies rode bikes up the countryside-road, approaching the farm. They peddled over to the farmhouse and one of the teenagers said to the young girl: "hey, Sally, what a baby you are". "Henry please stop being mean to me!". Sally replied to him. "Why? Are you gonna tell your Mommy on me you baby?!" Henry replied and grabbed Sally's doll out of her hand. "Hey, give her back, Henry!!" Sally begged the bully. She got off of the steps and Henry got off his bike and pushed Sally. She gasped and fell to the ground. She cried in pain. The man in the front room got up and walked out, onto the front porch then. Henry and the other bully saw him and frowned. "Henry Wagner and Claude Piett, you two fellas get outta here now. Leave my Daughter Sally here alone!!" the man said to Henry and the other bully, mad. "Yes sir" Claude Piett replied to him and he rode away on his bike. Henry Wagner just silently stared at Sally's father, threw her doll on the ground, got back on his own bike, and rode away himself then. Sally’s father picked her up and held her tightly in his arms. She put her arms around his neck. Meanwhile, Henry Wagner and Claude Piett rode into the cornfield on Sally’s farm. “That jerk Mr. Reubens. We’ll kidnap his freakin’ Daughter and then kill her, Claude!” Henry said to him, being mad. “Yeah, Henry, we’ll show him!” Claude replied, agreeing.
They rode their bicycles out of the one end of the cornfield, by the barn and quietly got off of them. Sally, Mr. Reubens and Sally’s doll were gone from out, in front of the farmhouse, and the bullies crept quietly over to the side of the barn then. "Okay, I'll kidnap that little whining baby Sally, Claude. And you hide in their barn here" Henry Wagner said to him. "Right, Henry, and I'll start a fire to their barn here and then to their farmhouse, killing them too along with their livestock" he replied. Claude snuck into the barn and Henry saw Sally run out of her farmhouse and into the front yard, carrying a jump-rope in her hand. She started jumping rope and the bully crept quietly over to her. He looked over at the windows of the front room and then forward at her again. Henry grabbed Sally, holding his hand tightly over her mouth, and forcing her to rush over to the cornfield, holding her arm tightly, as she tried to scream. The bully pulled her back into the cornfield then. A woman walked out, onto the front porch, looked around and gasped, putting her hand over her mouth. Mr. Reubens came out, onto the porch and blew pipe smoke into the air. "Doris, what's wrong honey?" Sally's father asked her, worried. "Oh, Fred, Sally's gone. She's missing!!" Doris replied, worried. "Why, Henry Wagner must have kidnapped her I feel" Fred said to her and looked around. Doris hugged him and he kissed her cheek. Mr. Reubens and Doris ran around the farmhouse, into the backyard. "Oh, ancient Abraham, please assist my Wife Doris and I. We need your help. Bring back our kidnapped six year old Daughter Sally please!" Mr. Reubens said out loud, with her arms around Doris, as she hugged him again, crying. The ground within the backyard started to rise up, becoming a tunnel and something moved quickly within it, tunneling out, into the cornfield as Fred and Doris watched it then.
Meanwhile, the bully dropped Sally onto the ground in the cornfield and she gasped in pain. He looked down at her and pulled a pocket-knife out of his pants-pocket. The thing burrowed within the growing tunnel beneath the cornfield. Henry bent over Sally and was about to stab her with the knife, causing her to gasp in terror. The tunnel got to them and stopped moving in front of Sally's feet suddenly. A yellow-clawed-hand sprang up, out of the tunnel, the bully noticing it and gasping in surprise and fear. The light brown hand with the sharp, long yellow claws looked like it was made of cloth. Then, another clawed-hand sprang up, out of the tunnel and a hole formed, the bully's eyes widening, watching it. A scarecrow-like monster with cloth-like flesh of light-brown crawled out of the hole, standing up and gazing eerily at Henry with its glowing-gold-pupils, sunken into its black, eye sockets. It was dressed in a white collared-shirt, with gold-buttons down the front, and a pair of black suspenders and overalls. The scarecrow-like monster also wore a black floppy hat, and hissed eerily, showing a row of teeth within his upper-mouth, as his long hair of yellow straw blew in the wind. The bully screamed in terror at it and it reached out, grabbing Henry by his throat quickly, causing him to writhe and cough. He dropped his pocket knife on the ground and Sally got up then and ran through the cornfield, passed the monster. As the bully's eyes widened in fear and pain, the scarecrow-like monster took his other clawed-hand and thrusted it forward, causing the sickening-sounds of something plunging into liquid. The thing let go of Henry's throat and he looked down. A crow landed down, into the cornfield, and looked up, standing behind the bully, who slumped forwards onto monster, dead. The crow flew up, out of the cornfield then, and the scarecrow-like monster put his other clawed-hand around Henry's corpse. 
Sally ran out of the cornfield and into the barn. Meanwhile, Fred and Doris were in a car and Fred drove down the country road. "Honey, the police can help us find Sally!" Doris said to him. "Yes, dear, of course. We need all the help the we can get" Fred agreed with her, saying. Mr. Reubens drove into a small town and parked in front of a police department that had a sign up, above the double-doors, reading, "WHEATVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT" on it in capital-letters of black. Doris and Fred walked into the police department. Meanwhile, the scarecrow-like monster walked out of the cornfield in his bare feet that looked like they were also made out of light brown cloth, also having long, yellow claws on the toes. He walked into the barn and stepped quietly passed the rows of cows. Sally sat on a hay bale in a corner and Claude Piett was standing up, above her in the barn loft. The other bully quietly climbed down a ladder and then grabbed Sally's arm tightly, making her gasp. The teenager put his arm around the girl, grabbing her other arm tightly too, and forced her over to the ladder. "I don't know where Henry is, but climb up there ya baby!!" Claude ordered poor Sally. She climbed up into the barn loft with him climbing up behind her. Then, the bully kneeled, gripped her wrist and pushed her out of the loft, holding her by her wrist. Sally screamed in fear and Claude grabbed a sickle from on the wall. As he reached down with it, he held the sickle by her neck. The scarecrow-like monster rushed over and grabbed Sally, causing her to gasp. Claude screamed at it in surprise and fright, letting go of Sally's wrist, and stood up. The thing gently put Sally down and she turned around, looking up and seeing it. "I am Abraham, Sally. I hope you are not hurt" the scarecrow-like monster said to her in an eerie, whispery-voice. Then, huge bat-like wings looking like more light-brown cloth, shot of Abraham's back and he flew fast, up into the loft of the barn. 
The bully stood at the other end of the barn loft and Abraham stepped towards him, hissing eerily. He grabbed the sickle out of Claude's hand and gripped his wrist with his other yellow, long, clawed-hand. Abraham pulled Claude Piett to the other end of the loft, and rose him up, in the air, holding him out of the loft. The bully screamed in horror, and Abraham put the sickle by his neck, staring at Claude with his sunken pupils of shining-gold in his black eye-sockets, as his cheekbones of cloth flapped in some wind. Sally ran out of the barn as a cow mooed. Abraham whipped the sickle back in the air, and thrusted it forwards, causing the sounds of Claude’s screaming and a sickening-sound of the sickle cutting into something to be heard. Sally ran up the stairs, onto the porch and put her hands on one of the posts. She saw Abraham walking with the shadowy-figure of Claude’s dead body over his shoulder. The scarecrow-like monster walked into the cornfield carrying it. Soon, two cops were in a cop car, with one of them driving up the road. "Yeah, Ron, sixteen year old Henry Wagner and fourteen year old Claude Piett always have tortured the kids within Wheatville and out of Wheatville sadly" the policeman driving said to the other one. "Yeah, Tom, it is a shame. Hope Henry didn't kill her if he did kidnap her" Ron replied to him. As Ron and Tom drove, Fred and Doris rode behind them. All of a sudden, a skull hit the hood of the cop-car and bounced off it. Tom pulled over immediately. Fred pulled over then also behind him. Tom and Ron got out of the patrol car and saw the skull on the road then. Sally came running by their cornfield back to Fred's car. 
Fred and Doris got out of their car and they both hugged her, sighing in relief. "Abraham saved me from Henry and Claude, Mommy and Daddy!" Sally said to them. Meanwhile, the hole was covered up in the cornfield and the tunnel sunk down again, as Abraham moved through it, back out of the cornfield to the backyard, the tunnel sinking down as he went. Then the tunnel disappeared totally. As the cornfield rustled in the wind, down underneath the backyard, Abraham climbed down a ladder into a room. There was a cot, a chair, a table and a record-player within the underground-room. On the record player, a record played "Turkey In The Straw", and the scarecrow-like monster took his floppy, black hat off, and scratched his long yellow straw-hair with his claws. On the table, laid the shadowy-figures of Henry and Claude's corpses. Abraham sat down in the chair as the light of a lantern flickered by the ladder, and the monster hissed eerily.
Well, that was quite a FIELD SLAY for Abraham, wasn't it BOYS AND GHOULS? He had to make a CLEAN CUT with Henry and Claude aha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Abraham was sure A-HEAD OF THE POLICE, with THE SKULL that he had heh-heh-heh-heh. That's what happened to the bullies when they rode out to THE COUNTRY-DIED heh-heh-heh!
