Really Scary Story

"Okay, I got one," Dane was about to participate in a well-honored tradition among children: telling a scary story while holding a flashlight under your face. "One dark and scary night, there was this kid—"

"Heard it!"

"Shut up, Kevin!"

Dane continued, "There was this kid who wanted to get on the internet but he couldn't."

The huddled group of kids fell silent in terror.

"The internet . . . was down!"

All the children screamed.

"Then he checked his phone. It was dead, and he had misplaced his charger!"

"But how did he check his text messages?" Sandy asked.

"He didn't!"

More screams.
