Too Scary Story

Once in the evening a little boy Tony was visiting his friend. When he came back home, he saw that his favorite clock stopped working. It had stopped at 8:30. The next day Tony saw inoperative clock once again while having a breakfast. Another one. It stopped at 9:40. It wasn’t a coincidence… Next cold night he got up from his bed and went to the kitchen — he wanted to make hot tea with a slice of lemon. Everyone was sleeping in the house as a hard-working day preceded night. Suddenly the boy decided check the fingerprints on his clock. Tony was right, these clocks bore some traces similar to male fingerprints. The kid remained unstirred until he remembered that his father was on a business trip in another city, whereas his grandfather had not been leaving his room for three days. The child got so scared that he couldn’t come back to his room and fell asleep in the kitchen. When it struck time for the late dinner, he went to bring a cup of coffee and a cupcake to his grandad. When Tony opened the door, he dropped the dish in terror. An oldster was lying on his bed covered in blood. «Stop», — the boy thought, — when the first clock stopped working, it was 8:30. When the second clock stopped working, it was 9:40. Eight-thirty plus nine-fourty equals eighteen-ten. Now it is… 18:10…» At the time the grandmother was in the shop, and the mom in the office. When women came home, it was too late. There were posters on every tree: «Tony Scott, little boy disappeared.» What happened then, no one knows.
