"YOU DID what?" exclaimed Matt during lunch.
Jake explained to them how he used the book to hypnotize his brother.
They; Matt, Gabriel, Julia and Jake, were all seated at a table next to a window overlooking the Barnstable High's football yard.
"I'm serious, guys," Jake went on, "it was like his own mind had snapped leaving him with no choice but to..."
"Smack himself in the face!" Gabriel finished, "you could've done better than that."
"Yeah," Julia chimed in, siding with Gabriel, "like making him drink out of the toilet."
Gabriel chuckled, hitting Julia's open palm with his own.
"You know I'm seating next to you, right?" Matt asked sarcastically, raising his brows at his sister.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Julia added, raising her hand and exposing her palm to Matt.
"So, how about we try that hypno thing you so claim you d
J A K E' S P A R E N T S left home early on the thirty-first of October, ahead of the Oktoberfest event that was about to start in a couple of hours.Having fallen asleep on the desk, Jake awoke with a start and found the book resting on his spread out arms, with the last page being open.He had gone through the entire book and was then getting a pretty stiff neck.He leaned back in his chair before turning to his phone and checking the time.07:12Closing the book, Jake walked up to the door and opened it after which he headed towards the kitchen and passed by his brother.He waited for Ryan to step on him. He didn't, which was really weird. His brother never screwed up such an opportunity to torment him."Ryan," he called.Jake watched as his brother stopped, facing the other way.

Have fun! ★ HE WALKED UP to his locker and worked on the padlock before swinging the door open to take out two books, with the one on top being a History book and had a tag with the initials, J. F. His locker door suddenly flew shut, missing his fingers as it slammed back to its hinges, causing him to react by dropping his books to the floor where he was met by a skull. He gasped a little,
THE SMALL town of Cape Cod in Chatham, Massachusetts, was in preparation for Saturday-the one Saturday before Halloween which would mark exactly seven days to Halloween and Jake and his pals passed by the place where the event would be held in less than two days from then."Man, I cannot wait for Pumpkin People in the Park!" Gabriel was saying as they watched pumpkins get unloaded from trucks and into warehouses.The popular multiday event would have contestants come up with creative pumpkin displays which they could pose before they met the judges on the main 'Oktoberfest' event."Still not into it, huh?" Matt spoke after noticing Jake's head shake a little in disapproval."I donno about you, man," Gabriel added, referring to Jake, "but I know this year's Halloween will be super awesome!"Jake's mind drifted off for a moment as his Halloween-bedazzled friends went on chattering about the
"DUDE, WHERE were you?" started Matt after Jake entered the hall.There were other students seated all across the large hall which was designed to serve the purpose of a theater and Jake faltered a little when his eyes met Nicole's, who was sitting two rows behind where he was.She smiled slightly, causing Jake to react by quickly turning his head down and then back to Matt all the while feeling his face flush."Oh, I just had to pass through the library.""Well, you're just in time for the play," came Gabriel, who happened to be writing something.Jake sat next to Matt with Gabriel on the other side as Mrs. Fenway, the music and drama teacher walked in and ordered all students to be quiet."Now, today we're going to venture into the world of fantasy...""What is this, Hogwarts?" joked Cole from the middle row as a low clatter of laughter followed.
"BREAKFAST'S READY!" came Jake's mom from the kitchen.Jake appeared from his room and headed to the dining table where he met his dad who was filling a mug with coffee.He gave his dad a 'what the hell is going on' look."Don't look at me, I had nothing to do with this," his dad responded before taking a sip from his mug.Jake's mom had prepared some pancakes, okay...a lot of pancakes; croissants; eggs, which came in scrambled, beaten and even a few pouched ones; bacon and sausages.Jake grabbed a pancake just as his mother returned from the kitchen with more pancakes."Wow, you were up early..." began Jake."What? Can't a mother cook for her family?"Jake's mom grinned widely and took off her apron and had on a black skirt topped with a white blouse."Where's the party?" Jake's dad spoke this time."Well
SUNDAY FOUND Jake going out shopping at the supermarket which was mostly done by his mom but she got called in again for another exclusive.Yap, that week was going to be a pretty busy one for her, with five days left to Halloween.He was feeling rather off that day, considering what had happened the previous night—if it had even happened in the first place!Passing through a section lined up with groceries; mostly oranges, apples, asparagus and peaches, Jake almost hit another guy's shopping cart who was coming from the opposite direction.“Sorry.”“No problem, kid.”A canned tomato soup container then fell down his cart as Jake stopped to pick it up.“Hey, you dropped your...”There was no one there.The section was quite long, surely he couldn't have gone that fast.
PACKING HIS school stuff, Jake's eyes landed on the big black book still lying on top of his desk even after wishing that it had been all a dream when he got up from bed that Monday.He did have a dream but not one about witnessing some guy’s head pop open like the pumpkins at the Pumpkin Park after being run over by a truck. Nope. That also happened. He saw it on the news the previous night while his mother let out a long speech about how dangerous that part of town is and another flow of words of how she was glad that Jake was okay.Oh, mom, you're just the best...Back to the actual dream, Jake had found himself standing at the Pumpkin Park and it was dark out, the silvery wave of light from the full moon being the only thing that enabled him to see. There was nobody in sightHe felt something tugging at his right arm only to look down and find the book in his hand.
