THE NEW GIRL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Hia Kiddies welcome down, to my dungeon here. It is FRIGHT chilly out tonight, so WORM UP you little FRIGHT CRAWLERS you heh-heh! This FESTERING-FABLE is about a girl who is new to the SLAY-BORHOOD hee-hee-hee-hee! I call it...

A young black girl skipped along the sidewalk of a neighborhood over in Chicago, Illinois one day back in the late Spring of 1963. She was singing Mary Had A Little Lamb and saw an African American woman watering her flowers in the window of a house. She looked out the window, smiled and waved at the African American girl. "Hello there, what is your name?" the black woman said to the black girl, asking. "Hello ma'am. I'm Lucy" she responded, smiling. "Well, a pleasure to meet you, Lucy. My name is Margaret. Welcome to the neighborhood!" the woman responded to Lucy, introducing herself as. "A pleasure to meet you too ma'am thank you" Lucy said to Margaret. As Lucy stood by the window, Margaret reached out and shook her hand. That afternoon, Lucy was in a backyard, sitting in the grass with two black teenagers and another African American girl. "Nice to meet ya, Lucy. I'm Chris and this is my little Sister Mya" the black teenage boy introduced himself to Lucy as, then introduced the other girl to her as. "Hi" Mya said to Lucy and waved. "Hi Chris and Mya" Lucy responded to them, waving back. "Hi, Lucy, I'm Chris and Mya's Brother Terrance" the second teenager introduced himself to Lucy as. "Hi Terrance" she responded. "The three of us have a club, Lucy. You can join if ya want to" Chris said. "Alright thanks" Lucy responded. Chris, Terrance, Mya and Lucy all climbed up into a treehouse within the backyard and sat around a chess table. There were stacks of Tales From The Crypt comic books in all four corners of the treehouse.

Terrance and Chris grabbed bottles of Popov Vodka along with a carton of orange juice. They both poured some of the orange juice into glasses, adding some of the vodka into them. The teens drank their Screwdrivers down, while Mya and Lucy sang "Mary Had A Little Lamb" together. "Hey, Mya, go into the kitchen and bring us all some lemonade please" Terrance said, asking his sister. "Alright Terrance" she responded and left. "Come here, Lucy. Take a look out this window at this bird" Terrance said to her, motioning for Lucy to come to them with his finger. "I love birds Terrance" she responded, going over to him by the window of the treehouse. Lucy leaned out the window and suddenly Terrance and Chris grabbed her and pushed her out of it. Lucy screamed, falling to the ground far below, broke her neck and was killed instantly. Two months later, Margaret and Mya were outside of Margaret's house, swinging on the porch-swing together. "Mama, I heard singing last night out, in the backyard from up in our treehouse!" Mya told Margaret. "Oh, it had to be Lucy dear. Poor child. What was the song, Mya?" she responded, asking. "Mary Had A Little Lamb Mama" Mya replied. "Oh, that's nice" Margaret said to her and kissed her daughter on the forehead.

It started to rain, and Margaret told Mya: "Daddy will be home in an hour, Child. Come on in the kitchen with me to check on the roast". "Yes, Mama" she responded and they went into the house together. Meanwhile, Chris and Terrance were in a blue Chevy with Chris driving. On the car radio, "Duke Of Earl" By Gene Chandler played. "Hey, Chris, did y'all hide the beer Brother?" Terrance said to him, asking. "Yeah, Terrance, Dad won't find it. It's in the clubhouse!" he replied. Chris drove into their driveway in the rain and parked. He and Terrance got out of the car and rain through the rain, into their house. The brothers climbed up into their treehouse as it rained, Chris opened a small crate and grabbed two bottles of Budweiser Beer from within it. The voice of Lucy started singing Mary Had A Little Lamb from within a corner of the treehouse just then. Terrance and Chris looked and there was a pair of huge yellow-glowing eyes within that corner. Then, those eyes were the ghostly-eyes of Lucy's ghost the brothers saw as she came out of the corner. The apparition of Lucy was dressed in her white dress and her face, except for those eerie-eyes of hers of course, was just dead-black, no mouth, nose or ears were visible. Her pigtails blew eerily without any wind in the clubhouse, as she came to Terrance.

"Whoa, w-we killed you Lucy!!" Terrance said in horror to her phantom. "Yeah, we didn't want any new Neighbors on our street here!!!" Chris said to the apparition, spooked. As the spirit of Lucy sang, she clutched Terrance by his throat, choking him. Then, the ghost-girl clutched Chris by his throat, choking him as well. Her singing got more and more melancholy as the brothers writhed and gagged. The phantom's singing also became slower and slower, as she blinked her eyes of shining-yellow. Five minutes later, the dead bodies of Chris and Terrance were down on the ground by the tree, in the pouring rain. The shadowy-phantom of Lucy peeked out from behind the tree, blinked her dead eyes of shining-yellow, and then skipped slowly away in her white dress, white socks up her ghostly-legs and white tap-dance shoes, eerily giggling. The phantom of Lucy disappeared through their backyard fence.

Well, Kiddies, Lucy really had to GRASP THE SITUATION with Terrance and Chris eh? aha-ha-ha-ha! They were all CHOKED-UP about her too. She did however give them A GHOST OF A CHANCE, being IN THE SPIRIT OF SINGING hee-hee-hee-hee-hee! Lucy ended up SKIPPING TO THE ENDING heh-heh-heh-heh-heh.

   The phantom within the treehouse!
