Charlie
A tale by "SynesterGates" a.k.a mike
FYI b4 the tale.....Billy and ted arent related in this story to those weird movies.
--------------------------------------------------------
Billy and Ted lived on a farm together and lived a happy life. An average day was waking up, getting dressed and tending to the farm animals, and at the end of some days, milking the cows.
One day however, Billy was being particularly aggravated with the crows picking at the crops. So he and Ted went inside and made a scarecrow. They hung it up and the crows seemed to not care, and went on with there buisness as did Billy and Ted. Ted decided to bring the scarecrow back inside the house and put it in the corner.
"Kinda looks like you, eh Billy?" said Ted. "Haha, very funny." Billy replied, "What are we, umm, naming him? since you brought him in and all." Laughing, Ted said, "Charlie sounds nice, would be fun to have an extra person around. *Yawns* ahh, lets get to bed."
"Night, Charlie." Both the boys said giggling.
The next couple of days seemed dull, same old, same old. And every now and then, the boys would interact with Charlie, Feeding him, playing with him, and sometimes some things they did weren't very, "nice" if you will.
Night rolled around one evening rather early so Billy and Ted called it a day and went back inside. Eating dinner, ham and corn, they fed charlie some here and there. Left-overs seemed like a truckload afterwards, and niether boys wanted to put anything away. So Billy grabbed a plate, and walked over to charlie, who already had food stains in his mouth area.
"Haha, better eat up Char, so you will have strong and healthy bones! Billy said.
"Uggh." Ted got up with some dirty plates and brought them to the sink. "What are you doing?" He said to Billy.
"Feedin Charlie. Whats it look like?"
Ted turned his head and then heard Billy yell.
"OW!!! HE BIT ME!!!" Billy said, "HE BIT ME! I SWEAR!
The look on Ted's face was confusion. "He bit you huh? So i suppose hes goin to rob us while were sleeping too hmm??
"Not funny, maybe im just imagining things, but your mean," Billy said walking to the bedroom.
"I'm sorry, i guess." Ted said as he followed his friend into the bedroom.
Morning arrived, and the boys decided to "take the day off", so long as they milked the cows at the end of the day.
"It's getting kinda late, we should tend to those cows." Billy said. "Sure, lets head out." Now, the cows were a decent ways away from the house, so Billy and Ted would often tell each other short stories on the way. Halfway there, Ted realized they had forgotten the stools at the house, and niether boy was willing to take the trek back to the house, so rock-paper-scissors would decide who would wait and who would go back and get the stools. Billy had lost, and Ted waited. An hour went by and Ted had already grown impatient a while ago and milked the cows himself without any stool to sit on, and walked back home to see what Billy was up to.
Ted stood stunned as he dropped the pails of milk to the ground.
On the roof, was Billy's, bloody, skinnless corpse, and Charlie casually streching and skinning the rest of Billy's skin. The sunlight was bright enough for Ted to see Charlie's face, his leather type face, almost as if they were standing 5 feet from each other. Charlie, Ted, looking at each other from a distance. Charlie winked at Ted, Charlie went on with his buisness, and hummed a little tune as if to taunt Ted.
Ted was put into a Mental Rehiblitation Clinic (Nut house) when he told authorities his scarecrow killed hi best friend. But niether "Charlie" or Billy's corpse was ever found.
Now, Ted sits in his cell, in the corner. 24/7. 365 days a year. Humming the tune he heard on his last sane day.
