Chapter 1

My Introduction

In a small town of Lancaster, Ohio, yeah, that's where I live. My name is Barry Ghoul, but everyone call me Barrel. I think I got that nickname because everyone thinks that it's SSOOOO funny to throw a small eight year old boy into a barrel, and leave him there either all day, or all night Then, in the end, no one even let's the boy out, even though the boy is, unfortunately, me, and a teacher has to let me out.

I'm in Third grade at Sanderson Elementary. When I was four, my parents were murdered in the middle of the night, and during a full moon. I've always had strange feelings about full moons.

Right now, and ever since my parents were murdered, I've been living with my Grandparents on my Mom's side of the family. They never thought that anyone would ever live with them, so I have to get dressed, sleep, or whatever I want to do in the attic. My room pretty much IS the attic My Grandparents aren't the nicest, but they put a roof over my head, and they keep me fed. That's all they prove useful for.
