Disclaimer: Once again, I don't own the WWE or the wrestlers involved. If I did, that would probably be considered slavery, which, much like cannibalism is frowned upon in many parts of the world.
It's finally here! Can you believe it?
After more than five years, the main story is complete. But all that's left is the ending. How do we cap this story off?
Well, when I first started this story way back when, I thought of a couple of ideas on how to end it, mostly done in the style of horror films. But I couldn't really decide on which one to use.
But then, I decided to include all of them. After which, you, the readers, can decide on which ending makes the most sense and gets the best positive response and that ending will be the canon ending to the story.
Let's get into it.
DEVIL'S NIGHT
Ending Four
"No!" Paul screamed as he thrashed around. "No! No!"
The sandy haired young man thrashed around on the bed while in the throes of a nightmare.
Suddenly, Paul sat up, panting wildly.
Paul looked around and noticed he was in his dorm room. As he noticed the familiar surroundings and noted the time being close to noon, it became obvious to him that the entire experience was all a dream.
Feeling relieved, Paul fell back onto the bed.
But at that moment, the phone rang, startling the young man. He frantically reached for it and answered.
"Hello?" he greeted.
"Paul?" the voice answered back. "Hey, it's Chris."
"Oh, hey Chris," Paul replied.
"You alright, dude?" Chris asked. "You sound freaked out."
"Yeah, I'm good," Paul said. "I just had a bogus nightmare just before you called."
"Damn, sorry to hear that," Chris said. "Anyway, it turns out the girls aren't going to be able to go this weekend. Something came up with Stephanie's folks so she's going to go visit them this weekend."
"Oh really?" Paul questioned as he thought about his dream. "That sucks."
"Yeah," Chris responded. "But Trish called me a couple of minutes ago and told me the trip was off. But she said they'll go out there next month. So I was wondering if you wanted to join up with me, Trish, Randy and Stacy for lunch today and think of something to do."
"That sounds like a good idea," Paul replied. "I certainly don't feel like sleeping anymore. Let me shower and get dressed and I'll be by your room in a couple of minutes."
"Sounds good," Chris said. "See you soon."
"See ya," Paul said as he hung up the phone.
After running his hand through his mane of hair, he got out of bed and proceeded to get ready.
Later that night, deep in the woods, the sounds came alive. The rustling of leaves, the language of the wildlife and even the swishing of the fall winds made the forest come to life.
But one sound stood out among all others.
It was the sound of someone whistling.
If someone happened to be there, they would say they spotted a dark figure stalking through the woods, always on the lookout for people entering his domain.
THE END
Well, that takes care of it!
So obviously, this is what I call my "Dallas" ending. This stems from that old soap opera "Dallas," in which a popular character was killed off and brought back to life due to negative fan reaction. As a result of the return, the entire stretch of story from the character's death to his revival was just a lengthy dream sequence.
I guess you could also call this my "feel good" ending since none of the characters died. They're all safe and sound.
So, there you have it. "Devil's Night" is finally finished.
I hope you all enjoyed the journey. It certainly was a long one, that's for sure. But I surely hope it was worth it. So stay tuned for future stories coming down the pipe. I have some really good ideas.
So until next time, this is T-Money saying, "If you want some, come get some. And if you don't like me, bite me."
Oh…and Happy Halloween!
