THE SATCHMO

Welcome Kiddies, I, CREEPS, am cooking a DE-FRIGHT-FUL DINNER for you all. MACA-MOAN-IE AND CHEESE, PASTA AFRAID-O, with a DIED SALAD and CLASSIC DEAD-STICKS hee-hee-hee-hee! But, FEAR'S an HORROR-S D'OEUVRE for you to HACK ON, entitled...
Back in the Summer of 1959, there was a tent in the backyard of a home in a Suburb of Providence, Rhode Island one afternoon. Four boys sat inside the tent together, reading comic books of "THE VAULT OF HORROR". "These comics are scary, Barney" one boy said to another one. "Yeah, Kenneth, they are. My Mom and Dad don't like them personally, but I can have them, especially during our campout tonight" Barney replied to him. "Yeah and I brought jawbreakers to share with you guys" a third boy said to Barney, Kenneth, and the other one. "Thanks Bert!" the fourth boy said to him. "Sure Oliver" Bert replied to him. Bert gave Barney, Oliver and Kenneth each a jawbreaker and they popped them in their mouths. Bert popped one into his mouth too then. Later that night, the boys were eating a big bowl of popcorn within the tent together, as the sounds of crickets chirping were heard. Barney turned on a transistor radio and Buddy Holly sang "Peggy Sue" on it. A man walked through Barney's backyard to the tent and poked his head into it. "Good evening, boys, I hope you're having fun" he said to Barney, Kenneth, Oliver and Bert. "Hi Dad, we sure are sir" Barney replied to him, smiling. "Yes sir Mr. Palmer" Bert, Oliver and Kenneth replied to Barney's dad. "Oh good. By the way, The Satchmo should be asleep outside here by now, so it should not bother you" Mr. Palmer told them. "That's good Dad. Have a goodnight" Barney replied. During the night, there was a rustling of a bush within Barney's backyard and the sound of a high-pitched-screech from within it. The boys were asleep inside the tent. Then, within the light of the moon, a three-foot-tall monster that was black and scaly, scurried out of the bush, letting out another high-pitched-screech. The scaly black monster also was a cyclops, its eyeball looking around within its balloon-shaped-head. The monster scurried over to the tent. Meanwhile, a crook was on the other side of Barney's backyard fence, smoking a cigarette, as he stood underneath a streetlight. He carried his sack with him as he walked over to the door of Barney's fence then. The crook pulled a crowbar out of his sack, reached over the fence with it, wedged the crowbar through the padlock, and broke it. He got the padlock off with the crowbar and opened the door of the fence. As he walked around Barney’s backyard, the crook walked into the backdoor of his house.
Oliver woke up and got out of the tent, going into Barney’s home then. He walked over to Barney and Mr. Palmer’s ice box, while the crook walked passed the archway of the kitchen. When the crook walked into the kitchen, he saw Oliver drinking a glass of milk by the ice-box. Oliver and the crook came out of the house with the crook’s hand on his shoulder, and a gun against the side of his head. "Kid, you're gonna die now!" the crook said to Oliver, causing the boy to gasp in terror. The three-foot-tall scaly black monster with the balloon-shaped-head that was a cyclops, scurried over to the crook and let out another screech. The creature with arms and hands like thin tree-branches and legs like fat tree branches, showed yellow fangs suddenly, and bit into the crook's leg, causing him to scream out in pain. He let go of Oliver's shoulder, the boy ran then and the crook fired his gun at the monster, shooting it in the top of its head. Black slime oozed out of the monster's bullet-wound, but it screeched loudly and continued biting his leg. The crook fell to the ground, screaming out in more pain, being in the shadows of the yard. Then, the thin monster with its tree-branch-like limbs blinked its one eye and attacked him more, crawling on him and biting the side of his face with its yellow fangs in the shadows. The crook screamed and screamed, his shadowy-figure writhing. Barney, Kenneth and Bert peeked out of the tent, and Oliver stood by the tent, as they all watched the writhing of the shadowy-crook. Sounds of eating were heard then, along with the sound creature occasionally screeching eerily. Mr. Palmer ran outside and a loud jerking and snapping was heard then. Mr. Palmer shined a flashlight onto the dead skull of the crook and gasped in horror. The monster scurried through the backyard passed him and into the light of the backdoor light. Then it screeched again and scurried back into the bush. "The Satchmo!" Mr. Palmer said.
The Satchmo sure had a GOOD SKULL at what it was doing! Good thing it saved Oliver, but it sure BITES for the crook hee-hee-hee-hee. Well, that’s what he got for wanting to do that to Oliver in Barney’s HACK-YARD aha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
