A man drove a blue Chevy up a road up, in northeastern-Michigan, one evening back in the late-Winter of 1965. As he drove in the falling snow, the car-radio played "It's My Party" By Lesley Gore. The man smoked a cigarette. The man pulled into the parking-space of a lodge on the side of the road. There was a crowd who was dressed up in masquerades in the lodge and the man walked into the place, looking nervous. He walked over to a bar and took a seat. "Good evening, sir, what'll it be?" the bartender asked the man. "Oh, good evening. Give me a shot of gin please sir" he replied with a grinning-face. The bartender who was also in a masquerade costume, poured a gin from out of a bottle, into a shot glass and handed it to the man. The man handed him a dollar. "Thank you sir" the bartender said to him. "Thank you" the man replied and raised his glass, then drank the gin. Meanwhile, a truck pulled into the parking space by the man's blue Chevy. As the man walked around the lodge, another guy walked into the place, spotted him and walked over to him. "Ah, I finally found ya Mickey!" the second man said to the first man. "Yeah, you did, Dean. Please, ya don't have to rob my store. You have come in there way too many times before man" Mickey said to the other guy. "Sure, Mickey. Just shut up. You were closing up for the night tonight, and I got there too late, but I know you have a load of cash on ya still" Dean said to him.

Mickey ran and Dean chased after him. Within the masqueraded-crowd was someone in a bear costume, standing there, and saw Mickey and Dean run passed them. The figure in the bear suit growled deeply and chased Dean then. Mickey ran up a flight of stairs and when he got up to the top of the staircase, he moved over to the balcony, and looked down. Dean rushed out of the crowd and got to the foot of the steps. He looked all around and then looked up. He spotted Mickey and Mickey spotted him, gasping in fear. Mickey ran and Dean ran up the staircase. Just then, the figure in the bear outfit ran out of the crowd and up the steps as well. Meanwhile, Mickey ran into a room, slammed the door shut, and latched it quickly. As Mickey caught his breath, he sat down in a chair. Dean got to the door of the room and shook the doorknob then. He grabbed a pistol from out of his coat-pocket and stepped back, aiming it at the door. "I'll just shoot ya to death, Mickey, and anyone else who interferes with me. I'll rob your dead corpse" Dean said to Mickey. Mickey gasped in fear and ducked down on the floor, covering his head with his hands. The one in the bear costume grabbed Dean's neck from behind him with the costume's paw, and growled lowly. Dean gasped and the person in the light-brown bear costume with the yellow bear mask, strongly pulled him back and dipped him backwards in a dance. Dean looked up, at the person's masked-face, seeing the mask's pupil less-eyes of pure black. As he rose his gun, the figure in the outfit attacked him, biting Dean's face, with the mask's white fangs, causing him to scream out in pain. The stranger let growled loudly. People within the crowd downstairs, looked up suddenly. hearing the stranger's deep growling upstairs and gasped in confused-surprise.

Mickey stood up, hearing the growling through the door, hesitantly unlatched the door, and opened it. He saw the back of the stranger, who wasn't someone in a bear costume, but a bear-like beast of some sort, kneeling on top of Dean's dead body. The bear-like monster growled among sounds of eating, as the back of its costume-like head rose and and lowered. Mickey gasped in horror and slammed the door shut again. Ten minutes later, a man in a masquerade-mask slowly walked upstairs and saw the bear-like beast kneeling on top of the dead skeleton of Dean. The thing looked over at him with its creepy solid-black eyes and growled quietly and deeply. The man gasped in surprise and fear, turned around, and hurried back downstairs. The door to the room that Mickey hid in opened and he Mickey peeked out, seeing the beast with the black bear nose that was part of its mask-like face. It was looking sideways towards the staircase, then stood up on twos, turning around and seeing Mickey. It picked up the skeleton of Dean with its costume-like paws of light-brown, and carried it by its boney-neck towards Mickey. Mickey gasped in fear, backing up, and the bear-like monster growled quietly and lowly, walking slowly passed him, into the room. Then it looked back at him, and Mickey smiled. The monster jumped out the open-window in the room with the skeleton into the night.

I could hardly BEAR that tale Kiddies! It was absolutely BEAR-RRIFYING! It SCREAMED I mean SEEMED like quite a GRIZZLY ONE aha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Good thing Mickey had to LODGE his way into that place. That MASQ-AFRAID PARTY looked like SKELETONS OF FUN...especially for Dean heh-heh-heh-heh!
