[Hello Everybody, this is Writer, Master of horror.  This is from the view of one of my victims whom I decided to... mm hm hm, make a star of their own horror.  I rather enjoyed it from their eyes]


12/24/12

Winter is... Was.... My favorite time of year.  Especially during Christmas time...  Everyone was always so cheerful and Happy..

Especially my little brother.  He was about 7 years old.  He just couldn't wait for santa...

One day, my family and I introduced him to some classic Christmas shows.  His favorite was Frosty the Snowman.  Heh... He just LOVED the idea that a snowman could come alive..

Well, My parents were starting the shopping for the Christmas feast we have every year.  So I was left home alone to watch my brother.  

"I'm going outside to build a snowman."  He said

I looked out the window.  There was a light flurry, with some frost on the window.  But not enough to make a snowman.  But I smiled and said.

"Just be sure and wear a warm jacket."

He bolted outside without even doing so.  I shook my head.  When he got a cold, he would learn.


About an hour later, he ran inside.  Nose and cheeks a tomato red from the cold.

"Come outside!!"  He said, jumping up and down with excitement.

"Why?"  I asked.

"Come outside and meet the snowman!!"

"Snowman?"

I looked outside.  The snow wasn't even sticking to the ground.  He couldn't have built one...

I put on my coat and walked outside with him.  When I got to the front yard, I looked around.  There was no snowman.

"SNOWMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!"  he began yelling, calling out and running around.  "SNOWMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!! Gah!  Where did he go??"

I was a little concerned.

"Maybe he melted after you built him."  I said.

"But I didn't build him!!"  He said.  "He walked up to me!  We played and had lotsa fun!!  He said he was magical and made the cold and snow!"

I smiled.  He must have created an imaginary snowman...

"Well, he must have walked away.  Was he a FAT snowman, like frosty?"

"No!  He was kinda skinny.  But he was white and- and um he had a corncob pipe and and two eyes made of coal, just like frosty!!  And when he hugged me, his hugs were very cold."

I smiled and patted his head.

"Well, that's because snowmen are made of snow.  Maybe he'll come back and play tomorrow."

He nodded with a big smile and raced into the house.  I followed him, shutting the door behind me.  I curled up under the covers to get warm and fell asleep..



The next day, I woke up to the sound of my brother's laughter.  I sat up in bed and looked out the window, but my window was frosted over.  

But I could see the colored outline of my brother, playing in the yard....

I put on my coat, and went outside, to see him waving goodbye to thin air.

"What are you doing?"  I asked.

"I was playing with Mr. Snowman!"  He said with excitement.  

"Oh... Where's mom and dad?"

"Shopping."  He said.  Then hugged me.

I nearly jumped out of my skin with how cold he felt against me, even through my jacket!

"Woa!  You're freezing!"  I said.  And picked him up.  "Cmon, I'll take you in for some warm soup."

All throughout the day, all he wanted to talk about was "The Snowman."

He was so obsessed with this imaginary friend, that it worried me...

"Mr. Snowman said I can become a snowman too, if I want to.  But I'm not sure yet.."

I smiled a bit.. This kid sure likes snow...

At the end of the day, My parents came home.  They listened to my brother's tale of the snowman.  And they smiled.

"Time for bed."  they said, and brought him to bed.

I followed the act soon and went to bed myself....

Around 3:30.  I woke up to a sound... a thump...

I tried to get out of bed, but soon darted back under the covers, realizing how unbearably cold it was!  I wrapped myself up and shivered!  I couldn't believe how cold it was..

But soon, it faded away, and it felt warm again..

In the morning, I woke up and stretched.  Looking out the window, I saw that the snow was finally starting to stick.  

I smiled, that's good, now maybe he'll build a real snowman...


I walked to the closet and grabbed some sunflower seeds to feed my hamster.. But when I got to the cage, the hamster was gone!

I called for my little brother.  When he ran up the stairs, I asked him.

"Where's my hamster?"

He looked down and twiddled his thumbs.

"Um... Mr. Snowman was hungry."

"Hungry?  What do you mean, snowmen don't eat... And furthermore, if you lost my hamster you shouldn't lie about it!"

"I-I DIDN'T LOSE IT!!"  He yelled.

"Then where is it??"

"I told you!!  Mr. Snowman was HUNGRY!"

"Snowmen don't even eat!"

"YES THEY DO!  YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND CAUSE Y-YOU NEVER MET A SNOWMAN!!"

With that, he stomped out and slammed the door behind him.. I sighed and lay down on my bed... This snowman thing was getting out of control.  He's using it to lie...

I decided it was time to tell him the truth... So the next day, when mom and dad were shopping.  He went outside  again.  

When He came back, he said.

"Hey, Mr. Snowman wants to meet you."

I looked at him ad sighed.

"Look."  I said, putting a hand on his shoulder.  "I know Mr. Snowman isn't real.."

"YES HE IS!!"  He said, very upset.

"No, he isn't, I'm tired of you with this imaginary snowman.  It has to stop!"

"He's not imaginary he's real and you're just jealous cause i met a real- real live snowman and YOU DIDN'T!!"

"No that's not it-"

"You're just mad because he said I could become a snowman and not you!  HA!"

With that, he ran outside....

I suppose i would tell mom and dad about it later, they'll set him straight.

I shook my head and decided to lie down on the sofa..  I closed my eyes for a nap, and fell asleep...




I woke up at 7 P.M. and shivered...


i sat up and realized the door was open!  I heavy snow was blowing in!  I shivered and got up to shut the door, but I slipped!  The floor was covered in ice!!

I called for mom and dad, but no answer..


I managed to crawl to the door and slam it shut!  I shivered violently..

"MOOOOOOOOM!! DAAAAAAAAAAAD!!"

No answer....

I heard some footsteps coming from the stairs.  I looked up and saw my brother... I think..

"Wh-wheres mom and d-d-dad?"  I said, shivering.




"Mister Snowman was Hungry."  He said, not a shiver in his voice..




There was something.... WRONG  about him.. so... pale...

Then... I heard the thundering footsteps make their way down the stairs....

...it was.... a man... a human shape...

It was HIM.... the snowman...

He walked up to me slowly... and leaned down...

He was white.... so... white....

He had a pipe in his mouth... and his eyes... those soulless eyes... were black as coal...

When he touched my face.  It was so... freaking cold that it hurt!  I began to cry....

"Shhh sh sh.... Don't cry..."  He said.. "We'll be back on Christmas day.."

And they left... and took the snow with them...







It's 11:59 P.M. on Christmas Eve..... As I look out the window.... I see a light flurry beginning...
So, how was it? Did you get a...chill? X3 pffffllolcornyjoke
