(11)-The Myers House.

Tommy walked through the neighborhood of Haddonfield, heading for school, carrying his purple strapped school-book. After finishing breakfast with Logan and his parents, Tommy rushed upstairs to his room, got his purple strapped school-book, came back downstairs, and he and Logan said goodbye to his parents before exiting the house, then they said their goodbyes to each other. Logan got back on his bike and the boys went their separate ways. As he headed off to school, Tommy thought about today's holiday: Halloween. Tommy always loved Halloween. The decorations...the parties...the atmosphere. It was just the time of year that brought him so much joy and excitement. Halloween to him was what Christmas was to everyone else.

Tommy was then brought out of his thoughts when he saw his 17-year old babysitter, Laurie Strode, up ahead, carrying her school-books. Obviously, she was heading off to school like he was. The 8-year old boy ran towards her. "Laurie!"

Laurie looked and saw Tommy coming her way. "Hi, Tommy."

Tommy ran up to Laurie and they began walking together. "You comin' over tonight?"

"Same time, same place." Laurie answered.

"Can we make Jack-o-Lanterns?" Tommy asked.

"Sure." Laurie answered.

"Can we watch the monster movies?" Tommy asked.

"Sure." Laurie stated.

"Will you read to me? Can we make pop-corn?" Tommy asked.

"Sure, sure, sure." Laurie repeated as she placed her right hand on Tommy's head, followed by giving him a brief hug, making him laugh a little, before releasing him. "You better hurry up."

"How come you're walkin' to school this way?" Tommy asked.

"My Dad asked me to." Laurie said.

"Why?" Tommy asked.

"I have to drop off a key." Laurie answered.

"Why?" Tommy asked.

"Cause he's gonna sale a house." Laurie said.

"Why?" Tommy asked.

"Because that's his job." Laurie said.

"Where?" Tommy asked.

"The Myers house." Laurie answered.

"The Myers house?" Tommy asked in disbelief. He looked up ahead and sure enough they were approaching the old abandoned Myers home. The 8-year old had been so busy chatting with Laurie, he hadn't taken the time to notice what street they were going down, which was the peacher's street. The street the Myers house was on. As they made it to the house, Tommy grabbed Laurie by the left arm and they both stopped in their tracks. "You're not suppose to go up there." He said, pointing at the house.

"Yes, i am." Laurie said as she held up the key to the Myers house in her right hand, showing it to Tommy before heading up towards the home.

"Uh-uh." Tommy said. "That's a spook-house." He said as he pointed at the old, creepy, abandoned home a second time.

"Just watch." Laurie said as she walked up the steps and onto the porch.

Tommy watched Laurie as she bent down and placed the key underneath the mat. His mood had completely changed from joy and excitement to dread and fear. Although the excitement for Halloween was still there, it now felt awkward. For today marked the 15th year that a 6-year old boy killed his 17-year old sister on Halloween night in this very house.

Here in his home-town of Haddonfield, the incident on Halloween night-1963, still had a firm grip on most of the residences that resided here. Understandable, of course, given what happened back then. But at some point, you gotta move on. You can't let what happened so long ago still affect how you live your life in this town.

As Laurie stood up and walked off the porch, Tommy could have sworn he saw a human-shaped figure appear at the front door's window inside the house. Was he crazy or was there a person standing in the window...staring at him? Not breaking eye-contact, he kept looking at the supposed shape in the door's window...then it was gone. No. There was nothing there after all. His fearful imagination was working over-time again.

Laurie walked back over to where Tommy was.

"Lonnie Elem said never to go up there. Lonnie Elem said that's a haunted house. He said awful stuff happened there once." Tommy said.

"Lonnie Elem probably won't get out of the 6th grade." Laurie said as she and Tommy resumed walking, with her placing her right arm on his right shoulder.

"I gotta go. I'll see you tonight." Tommy said before he started walking off.

"Bye." Laurie said.

"Bye." Tommy said as he walked off across the street, heading for school, leaving Laurie. If only he had looked behind him. Then he would've seen a white-masked man watching Laurie as she walked down the sidewalk, resuming her solo trip to school.
