A Scary Story, For All Ages
Once upon a time, there were three bad children, named Tara, Jamie and
Dusty. Even though their fairy godmother had warned them not to go into
the dark and haunted woods of the Internet Trash Forest, off they went,
merrily singing and skipping along, until they came to the cottage of an
evil storyteller named Joseph. Joseph was a bad, bad man who told the
truth, instead of the happy, sparkily fairy tales which Tara, Jamie and
Dusty would share with all of their friends at the Inn of the Magic
Mushroom.
Oh horror! Oh fright! Joseph was telling true stories about them, and
all they had done was tell false stories about him! How mean! So off
they went crying to Rob the cowardly woodsman, ruler of the Internet
Trash forest. "Oh save us, Rob the cowardly woodman!" they cried "Joseph
has told false tales of us. Oh, and please don't let him tell you his side
of the story. Just chop down his evil cottage and don't ask any more
questions". Even though the Evil Joseph could prove every word that he
said was true, Rob the cowardly woodsman boarded up the room where Joseph
would tell the stories of Tara and her friends. "Ah", said he, "now all
will be happy. Am I not the wisest of rulers?".
Joseph grew angry and built a new cottage, in the even darker and more
haunted Newsguy forest. "I love the old cottage", said he, "and I would be
sad if Rob the cowardly woodsman chopped it down, for it is the first
cottage that I ever built, and even evil storytellers can be a little
sentimental. But if he thinks that he can tell me which tales I will tell
and which I will not, he's got another thing coming. I have always told
the truth, never more, and I will never tell less, no matter how many
little children go crying to Rob or any other woodsman".
At this, some said, the three censorious little children would burst
into tears. Whether they did or not, none can ever say, for they found out
that they had just written another chapter for Joseph's story and wet
their pants and got lost trying to find their way to the bathroom and
nobody has found them, since. Nobody worth listening to, anyway. The End.
Wasn't that fun? You have already left the Internet Trash server for
