It arrived in a plain brown envelope
from an unknown source.
“That thing is just creepy.
Don’t wear it,” pleaded his wife.
“I think it’s cool,” he said
as he raised the mask toward his face,
“It will scare the heck out of the kids.”
Upon awakening naked and covered in blood,
he remembered nothing.

Reminds me of "Halloween III" where the Silver Shamrock company made masks that turned the kids into killers when they heard their commercial jingle on TV.
(Great! Now that stupid song is stuck in my head! Thanks, MM!)
Well, now I'll always know where my fear of masks started!

Where DO you find this macabre vein in your body? You tap it so well. I can't seem to find mine. So I look to you in awe.
Wicked-wicked-wicked, my friend! That was absolutely surprising and dark. Tell me, when you held it up, did you feel a strange retro creepiness? It reminded me of some adult martini party in the 60s with the host pinching all the women's butts.
well am a kid who loves to scare those creepy little buddies at home, where they gonna hide themselves on their beds and would definitely shout. Cry and cry. hey that was before when i was a kid. now am a man of valor.. lol
