"The Gas Mask"

Someone stands before the class, presenting a true life event. What comes out of their mouth may possibly be the most ridiculous work of fiction you'd ever heard. The entire class may burst out in laughter and the teacher may fail the student on the project. No matter how much the student pleas, nobody will believe his story. However, the student will prove its existence. After all, truth is stranger than fiction.

Walking through the doors to school was supposed to be an interesting and somewhat fun day, as it was the first day of school. It was supposed to be a day where kids learn about the classes they're about to spend most of the year in and meet up with friends and seeing what all they did over the summer. It was supposed to be a good day, so why did I feel an incredible sense of unease washing over me?
I sat down at one of the tables in the cafeteria and awaited the arrival of my friends. The first one to come in was Chuck, sporting a leather jacket and long red hair that made me wish my mom would stop cutting mine so short. Following him was my other best friend, Drake. He had his usual long sleeved, tight tan shirt, tagged along with his usual curly hair.
They all sat at the table before me and we began chatting about our summers. I didn't really have anything exciting to share, as I mainly stayed home a majority of the time. Everyone else went to amusement parks or visited relatives for a few days. Either way, our summers were full of lack luster excitement.
The bell rang and it was time for our classes to begin. We all walked together to our first period class, as we all had the same one. After walking through the door, we were lucky enough to find a cluster of empty seats so that we could all sit together. We chatted amongst ourselves until a new kid walked through the door, sporting an old fashioned gas mask. My friends and I got a good laugh out of it before he decided to sit near us. 
Not too long after, the bell rang again and class started. The teacher stepped inside and closed the door behind her. She stood behind her desk and did rollcall. As she was doing so, we tried talking to the new kid. He was a weirdo after all. We would laugh at anything he said. Eventually, we asked him about the lame mask. He replied, saying that the mask could not be removed, it was a part of his face. Or course, we all got a kick out of that.
After class got out, we invited him to hang out with us after school. He thought we were being friendly with him. In reality we were planning on taking his dumb mask off.

We waited for him for what felt like hours. He said he'd be here any minute, what was the issue?
We heard some rustling behind a bush and got terrified it might be some kind of rabid animal. My mom would kill me if I came home with a bite mark on my arm again. I backed away in fear until I saw the guy with the gas mask coming toward us.
I had my friends grab him and hold him down. They entire time, he kept wriggling and crying out in distress. I began to reach for his mask and run my hands along the sides to find an opening to get the mask off.
It felt as though the mask was a part of the guy's skin, as there was no sign of an opening. What kind of sick game was this kid playing at?
I gripped the breathing apparatus and he cried out in pain, but the screams were muffled by the mask. I began to pull but his screams only got louder.
I dug my fingernails under the part where the mask ends and the breathing apparatus begins. I was ignoring any sound he made at the time, the only thing I'd focus on was getting it off the guy.
I pulled and pulled until it came off. I stared in horror at the opening where his face should have been. It was skin torn to shreds, his teeth all mangled.

"Hooked"

T he summer can be the perfect time to get away, to unwind while kicking your feet into the cool water while the hot sun is beaming down on you. But what if the bright summer sky was hiding behind it something even darker? I had been waiting for today all week. They'd finally opened the stream up for fishing. I was a little upset at the fact they'd decided to raise prices, but I didn't care, it was a nice day outside and I wasn't about to waste it sitting inside when I could be fishing. With my tacklebox in hand and my fishing pole in the other, I made my way to my truck. I threw everything in the back seat. I was about to head to the driver's seat but hesitated when I thought about bringing my cooler. I had one in the back ready for fish, as well as housing some canisters of worms. But what if I brought one along for some drinks? After a few moments I decided it might not be the greatest idea. It would be too much to carry and I didn't trust anyone that...

"The Light"

  My day off from work was supposed to be a day for me to relax and unwind and rest. The past few days had been incredibly stressful, from hateful customers to managers that expected everyone to do their jobs for them, and everything in between. It was nice to finally have that down time to spend away from all that. I'd decided to spend my time, not to get things done around the house, but to play a new game I'd been hooked on lately. It was this puzzle game where every room is seemingly randomly generated, each with clean and clever puzzles. After booting up the game, I was presented a room with white padded tiles all over the walls. There were a few green, red, and blue squares. I guess my job was to manipulate those tiles somehow to get me from where I was no, up to the top of the level. I looked around the room and could barely make out an opening. I pressed a single button to get myself started when the light in my bedroom burnt out, leaving me shrouded in darkness...

"Checkmate"

W hen my best friend and I got into a small disagreement, I didn't think all that much of it afterward. When he and I fought, it didn't really end in much besides us stepping away from each other for a few hours before reuniting as if nothing had previously taken place. I knew it meant we had a strong friendship. The argument we just had, however, was completely different from the small disagreements we usually had. Instead of it being about videogames of films, this one got a little personal. Pretty much, I had deeply judged the guy because he wasn't a fan of my speedrun tournament. He swore that I had agreed to hang out with him just before going live with my greatest world record speedrun attempt yet, one I had been spending three weeks practicing for. Before we went our separate ways, instead of wishing me luck or doing our usually angred goodbyes, he snickered at me, saying "Good luck with your stream." Before I could ask him what that was about, he left ...
