On a cold dark Halloween night, Mike Zenzola was comfortably watching T.V. in his home. Mike was home alone because he was never in the spirit of trick-or treating, and the rest of his family were out together. Mike was relaxing, watching the Monday night football game between the Tennessee Titans, and the Arizona Cardinals. Mike heard the doorbell ring, and went up to the door, nobody was there. “Just another ding dong ditcher”, said Mike. About 10 minutes later the door rang again, and Mike didn’t even bother to get up this time. Although this time, the door kept ringing and ringing so Mike finally went to see who it was. At the door was Mike’s friend Kevin Jones. Mike let Kevin in and they watched the game for a while, as Kevin was also left home alone and was bored. Kevin finally said “Look, Mike the reason I came over here was to tell you some of the other guys (Jimmy Spagna, Kevin Kneeland) were also doing nothing tonight”. “Jimmy called me and said we all had to do something crazy tonight, since its Halloween.” Mike said “What did he have in mind?” Kevin replied “He wanted us to meet up at the Old cemetery across from Kevin Kneelands house.” Mike thought long and hard about this, but finally decided he wasn’t going to be doing anything better, so him and Kevin Jones decided to head on over to Kevin Kneeland’s house. When they arrived at Kevin’s house, they all met up and started to walk over to the cemetery.

When they got there, Mike finally said “Ok Jimmy what’s the whole point of this!” Jimmy replied “Mike, we need something exciting, yet scary to do tonight, I want you to sleep in the cemetery all night, and I and the other guys will be camping out in Kevin Kneeland’s house so we will know if you leave.” Mike replied “Yeah right no way, anyways what’s in it for me.” Jimmy replied “ This cemetery has been known to have been haunted for the past 100 years, if you don’t chicken out, we will pay you $100.” Mike didn’t even think about that decision, he needed the money for his new Ipod he wanted to buy. “Ok, said Mike, I’ll do it. So all the other guy’s left the cemetery and started to camp out across the street. Mike slowly walked his way deep into the cemetery. The guy’s had given him a tent to pitch, so Mike quickly did that and hopped inside. He tried to go to sleep right away, but kept waking up just from noises around the cemetery. He knew it was nothing and that he could last, finally he started to fall asleep.

Mike suddenly woke up about 2 hours later, he heard someone screaming, so he peeked outside his tent. Outside his tent he saw one of his most hated and horrific sports players, Pacman Jones. Mike screamed “What is going on why are you here!” Pacman didn’t respond, but just started chasing Mike. As he was chasing him he started screaming “Mike I’m going to make it rain on you!” (The expression used for what he did to get suspended from the NFL) Now Mike was really starting to get freaked out, finally Pacman caught up. Mike turned around and decided this must be a joke, so he said if you really are Pacman Jones, you must be tough. Pacman replied “Yes, I am I’m a pro football player.” Mike said “Then fight me like a man.” They started fighting and it went back and forth as Pacman landed a blow in Mike’s stomach. Mike fell down, and as Pacman was coming in for the kill, Mike kicked him in the stomach, and at that exact point Pacman went flying into the air and out of sight. Mike had no clue what had just went on but at that exact moment he woke up, and was on his chair, the TV showing Titans 24, Arizona 21.
