Quick note: after reading my reviews, I would like to say something before you start reading this.
Please, don't be mean on your reviews, because nobody is perfect and this is a FAN site. If I were a professional writer, I would be selling books, not writing on the internet (I'm not talking to anybody in particular)
My first language is portuguese and I've written this story some time ago, so there are stupid mistakes all over it, and I apologize for that. I'll try to be more careful in the future.
If you are going to review it, say something or good or constructive. Please don't waster your time saying my story sucked completely.

1. I Saw Leatherface
Dan was sitting at the far corner of the bar in Blueberry, holding a bottle of beer and trying not to listen to the crappy song the radio was playing. His day hadn't been the best and all he needed was to take a break from it, so he headed to that bar one hour earlier and just sat there and drank. There were some attractive women at the bar giving him looks, but he didn't think about them, they were just country whores.
Dan was gazing emptily the front seat, thinking about life, when a guy stormed into the bar, screaming. He had a huge beard and he wore dirty clothes, madness showed in his eyes as he yelled: "I saw him."
The bar went silent and even the barman turned off the radio. Everybody's gaze was on that single man standing on the front door.
"I saw him. The killer of The Panopticon" the man yelled again. "He had the demon in his eyes while chasing me with that chainsaw…"
He made a dramatic pause then continued talking.
"You may not believe me, but I should warn you now that the mountains hide more secrets than you could imagine. Don't let your children out past nine and make sure every door is locked, because we cannot know when the killer's gonna strike again."
He started walking around the bar as he went on with his speech. Dan could see some people whispering to each other and some even laughing at the guy, but Dan seemed to be interesting in his story, so he dropped off the beer and started paying attention.
"I was walking the main road of the coast, going up the hill to the deserted area of The Panopticon, thinking I would be safe up there, but it was late night and there were no cars around me. I thought of going back, but it was dark and I was tired. I had only the left option of staying there."
"Completely unaware of the danger surrounding me, I laid my body against one of the wood piles, trying to find a comfort position to sleep. Everything was dark and silent, the only sound I could hear was the sound of my breath… And then, like the sound of an engine started, I heard the maniac trying to start his chainsaw. He was close to me, I could hear it clearly in my ear. And he knew I was there too, in a matter of seconds I would have a chainsaw through my stomach."
"Desperate I started running downhill, running like I'd never run, just about to save my life. I could hear the chainsaw chasing me, and when it felt like we were safely far from each I turned around to face him, and what I saw was the face of the devil."
"His face was creepily deformed with pieces of other skins stitched to his own skin. His eyes popped out of dark, red and demoniac. He was no longer running, he was just standing there holding his chainsaw. I had stopped either, frozen by the terrible image that had invaded my brains. And like a flash of a camera he was gone, transformed into dust and carried away by the wind. He and his chainsaw, disappearing through the woods, and I know it now: I will never see Leatherface again."
Epilogue
Some guys at the corner starting clapping their hands, mocking the man. The women started laughing and some started booing the man. Dan was sitting quietly in his corner, watching the man being humiliated by the disbelievers, but one thing was right: they will never see Leatherface again.
