I used to live in a village in a wooded area. My neighbor Ms. P was quite an odd woman. She'd mostly stay in her cottage at the end of the village and do stuff like read old books and make potions. Some people thought she was an innocent alchemist. But for others they thought she was a witch and some mean people thought she's wicked as well. But as for me I didn't think she was any of that. I thought she was just a woman doing something that she liked.

Whenever she would go to the market people seemed to keep away from her because of what they thought of her. Sometimes when she had too many things to carry, I rushed over to help her out. The few times I interacted with her she seemed to be a nice person. I did notice though that she wore black clothing literally every single day. After a few years of Ms. P moving into town, things started to happen. Vegetables went rotten and people grew sick when they ate the meat from the farm nearby. Worse still, there had been reports of people completely withering away during a few days.

Everyone blamed it on Ms. P so they got the sheriff and went to her house. But by the time they got there she was already long gone. A few days went by and I got worried. But during a night walk I found her. She was sitting by a pond and she was crying quietly. I walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and stared at me in tears, and then she stood up. I noticed something odd straight away. She was much taller than she was a few days ago. I then realized her neck was very long and thin and her once green eyes were now red. Her skin was now as pale as that of a vampire. When she started to talk I noticed that she also now had sharp teeth. "I won't be able to hide much longer before the men of the town find me." she said. "W-what happened to you?" I asked, as scared as I had ever been before in my life. "I stopped using potions to hide my true form. What, don't you like the real me"? she replied.

"In a way, yes, but your neck..."

"Oh that, don't worry about that, that's just a feature. Before I go I want you to have this." Ms. P handed me a package and walked away. I opened it, and there was a letter. It said:

"*Hi James sorry I couldn't stay. But the people in the town hate me. And what they say about me is true. Yes I am a witch and a murderer. You seem to be the only person in town I can trust. I need you to finish what I started. Use these items to help you out. I will come back when you have finished off every single person in the town. Love, Ms. Pencil Neck.*"

Also in the package there was a voodoo doll and a spell book. I was dumbfounded. The woman I thought for years was nothing more than a nice eccentric was actually a monstrous witch. I of course didn't do as she asked. In fact I burned the items she had left for me.

10 years past before she came back. I was walking at night again. I found her in the same place but she stood up and stared at me in an angry expression. I walked up to her again. "You didn't do as I say! Now you will regret it!" she said.

I ran. I ran faster than I'd ever ran in my life. I looked behind me and saw that she was shooting a ball of fire at me. I ducked but the flames flew straight over me and hit my house, setting it ablaze. The townspeople were awoken by the sound of fire and they all rushed out to see what was happening. They could see me running and Ms. Pencil Neck waving her hand in my direction, setting fire to the village. The people were horrified and started running in all directions. I ran through the forest until I came into a clearing. I looked behind me and saw Ms. P still chasing me. Soon I came to a very high wall. I tried to climb it and was able to crawl up slowly but when I got to the top...

I saw Ms. Pencil Neck staring right at me.
