Up The Hill

Aug 19th, 2025 by thegooddoctor in 100 Words

The new boy lived in the old house on top of the hill. The house was abandoned years ago and every kid knew it was seriously haunted. If you rode your bike by at night, a witch could be seen standing in the window.

The new boy was shunned at school. He seemed normal enough, the first clue something was wrong. Only Ricky Landover sat with him at lunch, so he was shunned too.

When it turned out the new boy’s parents were vampires, and every family in town was killed except the Landovers, it seemed a particularly harsh punishment.
