He pressed the button to light up his watch: 11:30 p.m. He must stay here a full hour to win the bet. He now wished he had never taken it. He heard a slow scrape from behind him. Steven froze, and then turned with underwater slowness. To his horror, he could see the mausoleum door sliding open. Steven wanted to run, but could not. He could not feel his legs; he struggled to draw breath. A yellow light shone from inside the mausoleum. Shadows crept and danced on the tombstones as someone or something- holding the light pushed through the door. It made a terrible, guttural sound, like the groans of a dying man. The door swung fully open.On the mausoleum threshold stood an old man in a plaid shirt, a lantern in his hand and a cigarette in his mouth. He coughed again, spat, and closed the door.
