Neil Richards Stans in his class after school tutoring Lenoir and Louis tech, when he was done explaining math equations to the two children he gave them tests and sat down at his desk to wait for them to finish but as he sat you felt a sharp quick on his butt and quickly jumped up in Surprise oh, when the shock of the pain was over he shot an angry glance at his two students who looks as equally surprised as he was," students be honest with me, which one of you put this dumb tack on my seat" Neil said as he held up the aforementioned Thumbtack between two fingers, the students looked at each other the reloaded and shrug their shoulders " we don't know mister mister Richards before you came in to start teaching we were reading books" Lewis said as he held up a hardback copy of a horror Anthology Book," I know one of you must have did it and I'm going to tell your parents on you, now you two finish those tests and hand them in so you two can go outside to wait for your mother" new said as he sat back down and waiting for the children to finish, when they did he accompany them outside where there mother was sitting in her car the children got into the back seat and and Neil went up to the mother and said" misses tetch I hate to say this but one of your children put a thumbtack on my seat" Janet tetch look in the backseat of her car to her children and gave them a disapproving look, and said " both of you are going straight to bed after dinner, no time near the radio, am I understood" the two children gave solemn nods. Janet looked back at Neil and said " listen to apologize for what my children did today you can come have dinner with us today" that caused you to smile as he waved to Janet as she drove off
Neil rode his scooter queue clearing in the words flanked on both sides by statues one of a man in a top hat the other of a rabbit in a waistcoat both holding tea cups, as he drove into the driveway he fantasized about Janet wearing nothing but an apron and spoon feeding him chocolate pudding, Janet seems to be a single mother and the children haven't really mentioned any father in their lives so Neil believes he has a chance with this woman, what he sees when he opens the front door is a bit of a shock the living room walls are cluttered with all sorts of things posters showing smiling cats, pictures of atomic models of crows, a photo showing Janet stood next to a man with a skeleton face both in wedding attire, and heads, so many stuff heads, each wall seem to be made up of head then anything else except for one spot over the fireplace there was a man before it but no head and all the man who it was a plaque that read Homo Sapien in fact all the heads have packs on the mantles reading the species name. Neil believes this was a joke and when he asked Janet what all the heads were about Janet said that her husband was a hunter who like to stuff Mount all of his kills on the walls, with a laugh she continued " if you think there's a lot of heads in the living room you should see my husband's Trophy Room" Neil deflated at the husband comment dang he thought to himself she does have a husband, but he noticed something the husband was nowhere to be found and they were already halfway done with dinner Woody asked about the location of the husband she said that he was out hunting for something to fill that empty spot on the fireplace
with a worried gelp Neil excused himself to go home, but as he drove on his scooter back home he heard wrestling in the trees and almost like it appeared from fin air a horse as black as night emerged Galloping from the trees in front of Madrid who quickly turned his scooter around and Hurley drove away from the Black Horse he glanced behind him and saw the who has had a rider who if Neil's eyes were not tricking him seems not to have a head, at least not a human head the headaches that between the Ryder shoulders was that of a scarecrow it's stitched grin split open at the figure let out an echoing laugh, Neil made it back to Janet's driveway I began banging on Giants front door when Janet open the door she had a confused look on her face but before she could say anything new was through the door and hiding behind Janet's armchair," Neil what seems to be the problem, you look terrified what happened out there" Janet said a note of concern in her voice but before Neo could explain the front door burst open as the man with the skeletal face from the wedding photo on the wall walk through the door," Johnny your home, did you find the head you were looking for" Janet said as she embraced the skeletal figure in a loving hug." yes I did pumpkin and guess what I want us to stuff and mount his head together" Johnny said as he stomped put New York to grab him by his neck and dragged him from behind the armchair, no matter how much Neil struggled and pleaded for his life the fake you did not release its grip as he was brought outside until it to stump as he was laid headfirst on the stump his eyes shot to his left when he saw a gleaming sharp ax planted in the ground, the pressure on his neck relieved but in its place with two delicate hands holding his head down as he looked to see who held him he saw Janet her eyes blazing was bloodthirsty Madness.
"Mama, papa can we help" Louis and you know what I said in unison as they patterned outside still in their pajamas," yes my sweet babys this is a special event" Janet said as her children helped her keep his head down as the man of the house raised the axe

Jonathan tetch adjusted his newest trophy that hung over the fireplace, the face of the head forever shaped into a cut off scream, as he walked back to his beloved wife who watched over their children as they listened fascinated to the radio, he smiled to himself as he thought of the wonderful lies I thought up to excuse the school teachers disappearance, and the people of town with believe them for the school teacher was a horrid man who lusted after married women, and besides no one would miss him. As he sat on the couch next to his wife he got a kiss on the cheek and was handed a cup a Coco which he drank without hesitation I cleaned his head to rest on his wife shoulder has he took a nap
