Campfire Stories

The Curse of the Pencil

Welcome back boys and girls to another scary story told by your host with the most Deirdre Stephenson. I hope by now everyone realizes that all my stories will not have a happy ending because none of them have so far. There is plenty of candy apples and s'mores to pass around to eat while listening to a new scary story so everyone comify? Good let us begin and this tale is entitled the curse of the pencil. There is a Walmart in Gardner that sells everything from clothes to shoes, food as well as other things the people can use and buy. The store is always filled with customers every day and the parking lot is always packed with cars. One day an employee came to Walmart to do some shopping for some food and other things they needed. A woman by the name of Suzanne Strong who is only in her fifties also single to. When she was shopping she realized that she needs some pencils so she went to get some. There was one that stuck out from the rest she took that one a very gold looking pencil. When the shopping was finally done Suzanne went home to put everything she got away and when she did she decides to have tea while doing some sketching. When she went back to work the next day she would have her tea while doing her sketching after supper that was how life was becoming for Suzanne. It was three weeks later after she got that pencil that is still used for her sketchbook she also got that day she went shopping that she was invited to a party. Suzanne went to the party that evening as everyone was having a good time since there is plenty of food there along with tons to drink to as well as plenty of pictures were being taken by the host herself. It will be three days after the party that Lisa Smith calls up Suzanne very trembling as she couldn't explain what was upsetting her but she will show so she will come over. Lisa arrives at Suzanne home once inside Lisa shows Suzanne the photos of her as they are both looking speechless to each other as her photos looked like someone took an axe to her head and killed her is what it seems because no one else's photos look like hers not at all. Since the visit Suzanne wakes up from having nightmares if someone was out to kill her and when she wakes up her head will be a severe headache so severe she couldn't look at any type of light without screaming more in pain. Suzanne will stay in bed in the dark until the pain left by that time it will be noon time. There wasn't one morning that went by that Suzanne wasn't laid in bed with one of her severe headache it got to the point that she has to call in sick.  One day Suzanna couldn't handle these headaches anymore that she went to visit her doctor but her doctor couldn't find the root of the problem but gave her pills for her headaches. Since then every time she goes to bed she will have her pills on the table along with a glass of water so when she needs her medicine it is right there for her. So now every morning when she wakes up with her headache that she takes her pills after that she would just lay there in the dark waiting for the pill to work. No matter what her headaches will still last around noon time despite she is taking medicine for it. Since these headaches has come on Suzanne has eaten very little because she won't have much of an appetite after her headache finally gone. Suzannes family and friends already knew she was suffering her headaches but when they haven't heard from her they began to worry. It was weeks that no one has heard from Suzanne that her mother went to check on her and when she arrived she noticed her daughter's front door wasn't locked not at all she walks in. She walks around calling out for her as she wasn't getting an answer the mother begins to worry so she heads in the bedroom now to find out what was going on. When she enters the room as all she could smell was blood she stood in shock to see her daughter in bed dead because Suzannes head looked as if it exploded. Because the body has no head the body was cremated as the family spreed her ashes in the park she loved going. All of Suzanne's things were sold in a yard sale by her family and friends as no one knows that the golden pencil that Suzanne was using is cursed which took her life. That concludes this story boys and girls as I hope you all have enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed telling it to you all. I do hope you all come back again for another scary tale by our lovely campfire and do bring your friends there is still plenty of room by our lovely campfire. This is your host with the most Deirdre Stephenson bid you all a farewell until we meet again as I still have plenty of more stories tell.
