Home At Last
Well, here we are at Jim's house. Where is he? Last we saw, he was sucked inside that Stephen king book he stole from a girl's locker…that didn't sound too strange…
Oh, wow! Look at that! He's back! But look, he's bloody and bruised. What happened? He was only gone for ten minutes or so. Then again, If he was INSIDE of a Stephen King book, I don't really WANT to know what happened…
Gee, he sure looks happy to be back. There he is, making sure everything hasn't changed in his room. Hah! He just kissed his fish tank! Boy, he must have had a bad time wherever he went.
Oh, there he goes! Time for school, I guess. He's got the book…
~*~*~*~
Back at school. There's Jim, hiding in the shadows. Good thing he cleaned himself up before he came, because his appearance was very…disturbing, though I suppose it would have been easy enough for him to say it was just a fight where he came out the worse.
He's watching the girl very closely. She's talking with her friends, as usual. She's so distracted by them that I guess she hasn't even noticed the absence of the book that Jim has. Yet, that is. Oh, look: one of her friends is pulling her around the corner…
Here Jim goes! He's carefully walking towards her locker, just like before…only this time, he's putting a book back, as opposed to taking one out. Good for you, Jim!
Who boy, that was close! No sooner has Jim returned to his rather spiteful place in the shadows then the girl is back, laughing grandly at some joke her friends have told her. She's looking into her locker…and her brow furrows. Of course! Jim has put the book back in the wrong spot, and NOW she notices it. She picks up the book and examines it carefully, before shrugging and putting it in its proper place. Jim's luck is with him yet again! Lucky boy!
~*~*~*~
School has let out for the day, but Jim is still lingering. Why would he be doing that? He's not trying to get into any trouble, is he? After being sucked INSIDE a STEPHEN KING book, he wouldn't even dream of it. Right?
Oh, good: he's just heading to the library. I guess facing a bunch of fictional characters has helped his attitude towards reading. Something good out of something bad as they say.
He's making a B-line for the Horror/Fiction section.
Jim is now skimming the shelves a rarely seen look of concentration on his beaten face. He occasionally stops to leaf through a book that strikes him as interesting, but he seems to be refusing to touch the Stephen King section. I wonder why?
Ah, good choice Jim! He has finally decided on Edgar Allen Poe, a VERY good horror writer. He has chosen a collection, which includes "The Tell Tale Heart" "The Premature Burial" "The Damned Thing" and (of course) "The Raven". All very good stories, though a bit old fashioned (and perhaps above his reading level…).
He's checked the book out after a quick and polite chat with the librarian, who has undoubtedly never seen Jim around before. Jim is on his way home now, examining his newfound treasure with great interest.
~*~*~*~
Jim is home now, and has already said a gentle "hello" to his mother, who seems surprised to see him with the large Edgar Allen Poe book. Jim doesn't seem to notice, he just heads up to his bedroom, still examining the Poe Collection Book.
He slings his backpack down near his bed, and sits on his bed. He hunches over the book, and carefully opens it up, eyes alight with anticipation. He flips over to the first story ("A Tell Tale Heart") and…
…is sucked inside.
Oops.
~*~*~*~
"CRAP! YOU GOTTA BE FREAKIN KIDDING ME!" Jim screams in outrage as he tumbles through the air, a feeling he is very familiar with by now…
A/N: Muahahhahah! An evil ending, I know, but oh well. I hope you enjoyed this story! I'm posting it on my birthday! Woo-hoo! I'm a big, mean fourteen-year-old now, and I STILL have no life, lol. Please review! Should I try to do another story like this (only different, duh) or something else? Suggestions? Requests? I have a lot of free time people, so whatever! I've read most of Stephen King's books, and if I haven't read a book you suggest, gimme a little while to worm through it- I will get back to you! Oh, one last thing, to all SK fans: A movie is coming out soon, like April or May, called DREAMCATCHER, based on his book. The book was pretty good, so keep your eyes peeled for the movie! Please review!
