The Jacket

One day, ten year old Jimmy Walker was playing at the park with his friends. They were running around playing tag. Suddenly, a girl they had never seen before approached them. She looked just about their age. She was wearing a felt jacket. Jimmy, being the friendliest and leader of the group, introduced himself and his friends. The girl smiled and said "okay". They continued to play, until it was time to go home. As they were about to leave the park, they noticed the girl had left already. Jimmy noticed she had forgot her jacket. "I'll probably see her tomorrow", he explained to his friends,"then i'll give it back to her. Besides i'm sure she really wants it back".

The following day, the girl returned. Jimmy said hello and showed her the jacket. Suddenly, her face grew pale. She stood there shocked. One by one, the other boys noticed what was going on. Finally, she spoke. "I don't ever want to see that jacket ever again", she stated. Jimmy shrugged. "Okay", he said, "i'll give it to my sister". The girl stared with her eyes open and looked as if she was about to warn him not todo so, but stopped herself from saying anything else. Right before they went home, they asked her name and where she lived. She paused for a second and began to walk away. By the time they caught up to her she had disappeared.

Back home, Jimmy offered the jacket to his sister. As he handed it to her, he heard a voice say "don't". It wasn't his sister's voice. It sounded a lot like the girl that played at the park with him and his friends. He looked out the window, but nobody was there. Jimmy's siter denied the jacket. Jimmy decided to have it for himself,as it could be both a girl and boy jacket.

The next day, Jimmy had brought a camera to school. After school, the girl approached them once again. He told her about the voice he heard, and she denied ever being near his house. They all took some pictures together. That night, while putting them on his computer, he sat there shocked. The 12 pictures the girl was in contained no footage of her at all. He could of sworn that she was in them. Suddenly, he got an email. The email adress was 194734858694@$77.com. Jimmy was puzzled about the mysterious email adress. Assuming it was a virus, he opened McAcfee virus protection and opened the email. It wasn't a virus. It was a message. The message stated:

give me back my jacket now

There was an attachment. It was a scanned newspaper article. It dated May 16, 1985. The article was titled "10 year old girl strangled to death by escaped criminal". He sat there shocked. His heart sped up faster when he saw the photo on the right was the girl that he had been playing with. He was about to read the article, when the computer shut off randomly. The power went out. Then, it began to thunder and rain. The noise was very loud. Suddenly, water began to leak in the house. Jimmy began to yell, "leave me alone!" He turned to his bed. On it was the jacket. He hadn't put it there. He was about to throw the jacket out the rainy window, when he felt two cold hands on his neck. The last seconds of Jimmy's life were spent by watching the girl he'd seen for the past few days look over him and smile and say, "Itold you not to".

A few months later, a few boys were playing at the park. They were running around playing tag. Suddenly, a boy they had never seen before approached them. He looked just about their age. He was wearing a felt jacket.
