Project Manager Danny McSheen was burning the oils of Midnight<\/a> all alone at Pinnacle Energies Research Corp. \u00a0Despite it being the season of Halloween<\/a> he couldn’t enjoy the holidays with his immense workload. \u00a0As with each night for the past week, there were inexplicable pounding sounds coming from the second floor that seemed to grow continually louder.\u00a0 Each time he’d run up the flight of steps, and find nothing out of the ordinary. \u00a0Then the second he’d settle back into his office the ominous thumping would resume striking terror in Danny’s heart. \u00a0Calls to the Night Watchman yielded nothing. \u00a0In fact, not a sound was heard when Security Guard Samuel Erickson happened to be present on his patrols of the rather large\u00a0sized facility with its many acres of surrounding grounds.<\/p>\n

Danny even attempted to record the unsettling sound that was now causing things to rattle due to the immense vibrations created from the floor above. This despite it being a solid building of concrete, cement, and steel. \u00a0His personal\u00a0video camera, cell phone, and even a separate digital audio recorder failed to pick up anything but dead static. \u00a0Even the various security camera’s scattered about the building would turn to white static during the episodes. At least technician’s were looking into those glitches, and it made McSheen look a bit sane\u00a0when it came to\u00a0his claims of odd noises.<\/p>\n

McSheen desperately attempted to finish his work during the day but the deadline for the groundbreaking Aberdeen Energy Project was fast approaching! The Investors were demanding to see a return by\u00a0early next year! \u00a0Those under his authority had to work late as well, and that at least postponed the perplexing pounding that seemed to be targeted at Danny. \u00a0The whole exactness of the situation really made him believe some malicious bastard was harassing him despite security system data, and cam footage showing an empty building. During this night of the Halloween Blood Moon<\/a>, the building began shaking at minor Earthquake levels causing things to fall off shelves, and break. \u00a0Danny’s cage was beyond rattled as he pulled out a gun he had recently bought out of fear, and bolted upstairs. \u00a0There he screamed, “Whoever the hell you are at least have the guts to show yourself!” \u00a0The rumbling stopped, and the electricity cut out!<\/p>\n

McSheen stood in the pitch dark trembling as he gripped his firearm with sweaty hands. The low emergency lighting kicked in, and he made his way to the\u00a0Aberdeen\"\"
\nEnergy Accelerator Lab. \u00a0The only area in the building where \"\"<\/a>the fluorescent lights were still on yet flickering wildly. Danny could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he tiptoed in slowly. The Accelerator was on emitting its normal azure blue pulsating lights. \u00a0However, there was an eerie\u00a0gray, and green haze wafting unnaturally around it. \u00a0He immediately thought a fire had started, and attempted to shut off the Energy Accelerator. \u00a0What he got was a high voltage jolt that caused him to fall to the hard floor. Danny blacked out for a few seconds before merely lying in a dazed almost paralyzed state. The Blood Moon’s unholy crimson rays were directly shining into the lab through the skylights. \u00a0He was shocked not only by the electricity but the pure redness of the light like nothing he had ever seen before. \u00a0It was indeed a true supernatural Blood Moon of darkness brought about by malevolent metaphysical forces<\/a> afoot amid the 13 Nights Of Halloween<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The eerie haze began to glow crimson, and coalesce into a hideous humanoid form mere feet away from Danny. Now becoming more coherent he grasped for his gun lying on the floor near him. \u00a0The astral entity went beyond metaphysics, and become a solid physical presence. This is beyond rare in the paranormal world since it takes a great deal of raw energy. \u00a0The monstrous individual was, in fact, a Poltergeist<\/a> formed from a collective of damned spirits who died in a blaze at a prison for the criminally insane. \u00a0A prison whose foundation was now that of the very building Danny was in. \u00a0He helplessly bellowed\u00a0in terror as the cackling sinister smirking entity walked toward him slowly with each step making an insanely loud pounding sound that shook the entire lab. \u00a0Danny unloaded his gun into the poltergeist but the bullets were absorbed into his monstrous body. \u00a0He attempted to crawl away but the hideous horror lifted him up and tossed Danny against a wall causing the plaster to crumble.<\/p>\n

The evil entity shrieked with glee as his guttural echoing voice uttered, “Thank you for releasing us from our Hell on Earth! \u00a0Your wonderful energy source converging with\"\"<\/a>\"\"
\nthe Blood Moon finally ended our nightmare! \u00a0Now we’re free to make this world a nightmare starting with you! Unfortunately, it will be a short lived terror for we are oh so hungry!” \u00a0The physical poltergeist laughed maniacally and extended its mouth exponentially forward swallowing Danny McSheen alive. \u00a0His final cries of terror could be heard muffled within the spine-chilling creature. \u00a0This unique dark force had literally eaten Danny’s mind, body, and soul. \u00a0Now he lives on within the belly of the beast apart of the mindless collective of evil. Danny would spend the rest of his day forced to watch the unimaginable horrors the blasphemous beast would wreak\u00a0upon the world.<\/p>\n

The Security Guard\u00a0Samuel Erickson ran in just then with his firearm\u00a0drawn. \u00a0He stood completely shocked as he saw the deformed denizen of darkness morph into the perfect image of Danny McSheen now that it had assimilated his DNA. \u00a0Samuel’s last words were, “What the….”. \u00a0The poltergeist shot toward him at seemingly light speed and ate him whole adding his essence to the poltergeist collective as a trapped soul. \u00a0The abomination strolled outside into the Blood Moonlight roaring wildly with reckless abandon\u00a0just as the entire facility blew up in a massive ball of flames. \u00a0The poltergeist, appearing as the human Danny McSheen, had eyes glowing orange with ferocious flames reflecting its violent intent upon everyone who crossed its path!. \u00a0The sirens of fire and police could be heard in the distance while the shrill screams of innocents were simultaneously heard blocks away! A new murderous man-eater now walked the Earth, and nobody was safe!<\/p>\n
