Stealing a Golden Hook

Authors note: I think that it would end this way because he asked him not to take the hook. So I thought that somehow he would lose his hand and be taken by the old mans spirit.

With the old man’s words echoing through his head is became very nervous. Cody sat down to think about what he was about to do. Without any thoughts Cody grabbed the hook and ran. He ran as fast as he could back to the old man’s grave. Not knowing about what was ahead he runs right into a big black animal. He quickly noticed the large paws and the animal’s great size. The animal turns to see what happened and quickly goes for a bite at the boy. In defense he puts his right arm in front and the bear takes his hand. Cody thinking it was probably from taking the hook he grabs the hook and runs back home.

That night after fixing up his hand well at least were it used to be. He lay down then hearing a faint voice saying “saying give it back”. Afterwards came a bloodcurdling scream from his house. To terrified the town’s people waited till morning to check the young man’s home. Finding nothing but the golden hook sitting in the middle of the room, there was no trace of the boy again. But before leaving they encountered a strange figure with only one hand. Many people say it was the ghost of the old many others say it was the young man Cody. Some nights you can still hear the scream of Cody and see him running through the woods.
