My power is near infinite, but only because the world of computer chess forums is merging with the real world. When we take over, changes will be made to your foolish "reality". People will have to be more careful. No one will be able to walk down a sidewalk without fearing en passant attacks from other pedestrians. It shall be glorious." Ark let out an evil cackle and suddenly disappeared. As the cow slowly faded away, he said, "Russ, I am your spirit guardian, I will help you whenever you pass into the realm of RHP. You must put a stop to this. We can't have people like No1 marauding around in the real world. Please help us"
Mine.
And he ran and he ran until he was tripped over by a frog. And the cow said to him, "What's the difference between a duck?". And the monkery replied, "They've both got one leg the same."
And the Giraffe leaned to and retorted, "Arc Arc the herald angels sing." And so it was that the clouds opened and lo appeared an almighty.......

He thought, if there was a burglar here, he should get a weapon. So, after looking around the room, he noticed a good size pipe. This will do as a club he thought. He picked it up but noticed there was some sticky stuff where he had grabbed it. So he quietly moved towards the bathroom, to clear the house one room at a time and take a time to rinse off his hand. Clutching his pipe, he went into the bathroom, turned on the light, and locked the door. He filled the sink with water, just running it at a trickle so as not to make much noise. Suddenly, he looked up and saw the hanging body of a post suicide Xanthos in the mirror reflection of the shower. He turned around and the ghastly sight was gone. Suddenly, the door started to rattle...
Russ looked to the left but he saw nothing but the garage door. Russ's head began to clear, the fresh air had began to work it magic. He looked around, there was nothing different about the yard except the bin on it side. There was no evidence of pradtf, killer veggies or a dead body. Perhaps he was unwell ? he rubbed his legs and noticed they were back ...[text shortened]... and stepped into the house "Hello, Chris, Chris, is anybody there ?".....
Who's up next ?

Thank God you've come! There isn't much time, we have to hurry!" Russ shied away as Chris tried to grab his arm, and saw him clearly as the bathroom light fell upon him. His eyes had a wild, frightened look about them, and his hair was disheveled and torn away from his scalp in several places. Blood ran rivulets down a face that was dirty and unshaven, and his clothing was ragged and cut to shreds in a dozen places. Slash marks could be seen clearly through his clothes, and blood still oozed from the recently inflicted wounds. Russ took another step back, whispering softly. "What the hell happened to you?" Chris shook his head gently and offered his left hand for inspection. It was missing, the left arm ending neatly just above the wrist, the wound long since cauterized. "Creatures of evil have risen, and it appears that no one is safe from their murderous tendencies. Luckily, I've been able to hold them off for three days now with this ancient sword I found in the attic, but I was on the verge of losing the battle. If you hadn't shown up and startled the beasts away, I might be dead right now." Chris looked over his shoulder and took in a deep breath. "Quickly, we must go! They are stirring once more!" Creaks sounded ominously in a distant part of the house, and loud crashes followed soon after. Russ needed no second urging as Chris looked at him with a pleading gaze. Running as fast as they could, they quickly made their way to the front door, sliding to a halt as a wraith materialized in front of them. Chris readied his sword, and Russ bared his teeth in a rictus snarl as they readied for a battle that could surely end their lives. As the wraith's identity became more and more apparent, shock enveloped both Chris and Russ as they both recognized the shade's sneering visage. "It cannot be!" Russ shouted as the wraith finally completed itself, unveiling the horrifying truth...

Originally posted by WildfireRuss froze with terror, looking back at him was his very own face. The Wraith Russ, sneered once more. But the shock was too much for the real Russ, the blood pounded in his head, he felt dizzy and his legs started to give way underneath him. His last vision, before he passed out, was of the Wraith Russ stalking towards Chris, and then everything was dark.
...and it burst open, showering Russ in an unhealthy amount of splinters. Chris stood there, holding a sword that dripped a copious amount of blood. "Russ! Thank God you've come!

Russ woke with a start, for a second he was confused, but the memory of the nights events soon came flooding back. Quickly he sat up & looked around, there was no sign of Chris nor of the Wraith Russ. Chris's sword was lying on floor and Russ quickly picked it up and held it aloft. There was not a sound in the house. "Chris" he quietly called "Chris are you alright mate" But there was no reply. A quick investigation in one bedrooms revealed Chris's Body. It had been slumped in the computer chair, Chris's head had been rammed into the monitor screen, and blood was dripping all over the keyboard & desk. There was no sign of life, Chris was dead!
Seeing his best friend like this, filled Russ with rage. Quickly he search the remaining rooms in the house looking for the Wraith but alas it had gone.
Finally the shock of seeing his best friend dead set in, and Russ curled down into a ball, like he used to, when he was scared as a little kid. "What am I going to do" he muttered over and over to himself as he rocked back & forth. Finally it occurred to him to call the police and report that there had been a murder. So he dialed 999 and spoke to a police officer. The police officer told him that somebody would be around straight away & to stay exactly where he was & not touch anything.
Whilst he was talking to the officer, and out of the corner of his eye, Russ caught glimpse of a small movement at the top of stairs. Turning round Russ saw the figure of the Wraith Russ loom into view. The phone slipped from Russ's grasp and crashed on the floor, cutting off the officer. From the top of the stairs the Wraith Russ pointed at Russ and then ran his finger across his own throat and began his decent.
Quickly Russ darted into the lounge, and tried to barricade the door with the sofa. But it was no match for the Wraith's strength. The sofa went flying into the fire place & the door smashed off it hinges. Russ backed off to the far side of the room. "This was it" he told himself, and he raised the sword that he still held in his hand, preparing to fight to the death.
The Wraith Russ stepped through the door and sneered and snared at Russ. A calming though of "how weird it was that this creature has my face" entered Russ's mind. Then he attacked the Wraith. Swinging the sword at the creature's head with all his rage & might. The Wraith caught off guard by the speed of Russ's attack put up his arm to block the sword. Alas to no avail. The sword sliced through its arm and the momentum carried it on & plunged deep into the wraiths neck severing it's head. The wraiths body dropped lifelessly to the ground. It was dead.
Fatigued from the fight, Russ slumped to his knees. He knelt for what seem like ages, all the while staring at the grotesque head of the wraith that was in his image. Suddenly he became aware of a flashing blue light and of a car pulling in the drive. Quickly he jumped up & raced outside. Two policemen climbed out of the car. Russ's blood soaked face stared to weep, "quick" he shout, "It murdered my friend but I've killed it" He rushed the police officers into the lounge and pointed at the body. Russ took a step back and gasped in shock, there lying on the floor was the body & severed head of his best friend Chris. "Nooooooo" shouted Russ as he fell to his knees. "I think you better come with us" replied one of the officers.

Of course if anybody wants to write an alternative ending (and I would have got away with it, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids etc..), or an ending for the surreal ghost ghost story that would be cool too 😀
