The Scream Team Retires


Zach and his two friends, Spencer and Collin, had plotted a prank for weeks. It involved a car full of unsuspecting boys an abandoned house, fake blood, a made up story, and a chain saw which they purchased at a pawn shop for $40. The prank went so well, one kid even peed his pants.

The next day at church it was all the poor freaked-out boys could talk about. Word spread quickly about the deranged guy at the creepy old house. By Monday it was all over the place. Kirsten’s friend even told her about it (with details greatly exaggerated). In an interesting study of young manhood, the frightened boys were plotting a second trip. It looked like a great future for Zach and his friends until a girl entered the picture. Isn’t it always the girl that messes things up in the movies? Collin was trying to impress this girl. He made her promise not to say anything but, of course, she immediately went and told one of the boys that was in the car. Zach, Spencer and Collin tried to contain things. They plotted to get other kids. They devised and schemed, but the magic was gone. Yesterday they called the whole thing off. So, does anyone want a chainsaw?
