Red Rover! Red Rover! Send the Dead Over! by Drac Von Stoller Pdf
Before this story begins some of us may have heard of the Red Rover game that has been played long ago at many school yards. With many games, there is a time when someone says “Hey why don’t we play it this way?” When the game is played in a different way it becomes more exciting and you’ll want to play it again. Let’s move on ahead with the rules of the Red Rover game in this story and a brief history behind it. The game Red Rover began around the 19th century in schoolyards that consisted of two teams that would line up opposite of each other, no more than thirty feet apart. The first team agrees to call one player from the opposite team, and chants “Red Rover, Red Rover, send (player name) on over!” The person called runs to the other line and attempts to break the chain (formed by the linking of hands).” Since you have an insight as to how the game is played this is where the story begins. Ravendale High School was having a Halloween contest on Friday the 13th in 1963 and Johnny Deadman had a hearse that he liked to give his friends a ride in especially on Halloween night. Johnny was also a prankster and would drive his hearse around town on Halloween night when the trick-or-treaters were going door to door asking for candy. Johnny would pull his hearse alongside the trick-or-treaters and tell them he would give them a ride in his hearse if they would give him some candy but Johnny wanted it all. So, the unsuspecting trick-or-treater would get inside the hearse not knowing that Johnny was going to steal all of their candy and drive off leaving them crying in the cold windy night. Johnny’s prankster days were about to end soon when he picked up his four friends to give them a ride to Ravendale High’s Halloween costume contest. As the four friends got into Johnny’s hearse all in costume they were unaware of the danger that lies ahead. As the hearse was on its way to the high school Johnny decided to take a shortcut across an old wooden bridge, but as the hearse approached the bridge, the wind was so strong it blew off the sign that read “Bridge is unsafe for vehicles to cross.”
