The old man was hated, but no one expected him to die. He never allowed the childeren to retrieve their toys. But one day, when he got back, someone had turned the gas on in his house. He sat down next to a gas pipe, placed a cigar in his mouth, and proceeded to light it, not smeling the fumes until it was too late. The lighter was lit, and so was his house. The nieghbors heard his screams, but did nothing. Soon, his home was burned, and his body was never found. They guessed his face would be blackened, and wrinkled. Like that of a bulldog. The ruins were buldozed over, and a new house was built. Soon, a family with a little boy, bought it. The boy always went into the wood in the back yard, but stopped doing so when the signs appeared. 'No Tresspassing''Do Not Enter''Beware' the boy's name was Josh. One day, while at school, Josh's friends decided to go into the house. Their names were Billy, Tylor, Scott, and Shawn. Finally, after many whimpers, and 'I don't wanna's they agreed. That night, they all spent the night at Josh's house. When his parents were asleep, they picked up their flashlights, adn set off twards the wood, trembling in fear. They stopped at the signs. 'Ready?'Shawn said, looking back at the other four boys. They all nodded. 'Right, let's go!' He stepped over the rope. The others followed suit. After an hour of walking, they stopped at a house. It looked like the old man's but this one was old, and decaying. 'Come on! Last oen there's a rotten egg!' Shawn yelled, and Billy, Tylor, and Scott ran to the door. 'Commin' Josh?''Y-yeah''Whatsa matter? Scared?''no!' 'Then c'on!' Shawn ran up with the other boys, Josh treading up behind him. When the other two reached the house, Billy tried the door. It opened. They smiled at the dust, as it muffled their feet on the wooden floor. 'Alright, split up, and come back, if you don't find him.' They searched the entire bottom floor. The Bulldog Man wasn't there. 'He ain't here, Shawn!' Billy panted, as he ran back from the kitchen. At that moment a soft creaking noise came from over head. 'W-what's that?' Josh asked, trembling. 'I dunno, but let's find out!''Let's not and say we did!''Josh? You scared?'Billy asked, looking at him. 'N-no! I just wanna get home bedfore mum adn dad know I'm gone!''Don't be chicken!'Tylor said, following Shawn up the stairs. Billy and Scott looked at each other. 'Don't worry, Josh, Scott and I are scared too' Billy said, and Scott nodded.'Yeah, but don't worry, Shawn'll coem to his senses and order us back to your place. C'mon!' Billy, Scoot, and Josh ran up the stairs. Tylor and Shawn were standing outside a door. 'It's comming from in here!' Tylor mouthed the the other three. Everyone listened. The creaking came from inside the room. Shawn turned the doorknob, and opened the door. A rocking chair was inside. Shawn crept up bahind it, Taylor close behind him. Billy, Scott, and Josh were at the door, staring at the two. Shawn grabbed the chair, ans wheeled it around. Everyone screamed. Taylor and Shawn laughed. 'It's just a stupid Halloween skeleton!' Tylor said, between his laughter. 'T-that's not a decoration, Ty! That's-' Billy was cut short by the door downstairs opening. Everyone ran outside, and saw a man enter. His face was frightening. It was black, and wrinkled. His eyes were red. Everyone was frozen, but soon, got the feeling in their legs, and ran. They heard the Bulldog Man roar in rage, and start assending the stairs after them. They reached the attic, closed and locked the door, and hid behind some boxes. 'What the hell was that!?!' 'Your mother, Billy! Who do you think?' Tylor said sarcasticly. 'Look, we gotta get out of this house No-' the door to the attic burst open. Everyone froze. The Bulldog Man looked around, but didn't find them, and walked away. 'Guys, I found some rope!' Shawn whispered, tying one end to a pipe, throwing the other end out of the window. Everyone climbed down the rope. Tylor, was about to leave, when he was grabbed roughly by his neck. The Bulldog Man came back. He broke Tylors neck, and roared, as the other started climbing down. He grabbed Scott's neck tie, and yanked up in it. Scott slowly died. Billy, Shawn, and Josh reach the ground, adn ran, as Scott's lifeless body fell in a lump next to the rope. Billy was tackled and killed by the Bulldog Man. 'What are we gonna do?!?''Run faster!Shawn yelled, but was cut short, when the Bulldog Man tackled him, and slashed his thoat. Josh ran faster. He soon felt something heavy on his back. he squirmed, but stopped, as he felt the cold metal of a knife plunge in his back, though his heart. He died. The Bulldog Man got up, and walked past the signs, and twards Josh's home. His parents locked and baricated the doors and windows, when they saw the Bulldog Man. They had been waiting for Josh and his friends to come back. His dad grabbed him gun, when the Bulldog Man started to pound on the door, tearing it up. He shot the Bulldog Man, and he fell. Josh's dad turned to his wife. 'Got 'em!' but when he turned back, the Bulldog Man's body was gone. They had the funeral, but no one found the bodies of the five boys. They were too afraid to enter the wood to retrieve them. Josh's parents moved, along with Tylor's, Billy's, Shawn's, and Scott's. A new family baough Josh's old home. They had a little girl. She would was into the wood, but always turned around when she met the signs. One day, she stopped, when she saw the signs. Five bodies were hanging from five nooses. One wore a tie. The tie was holding a sign, reading: This will be your fate if you enter my home! The girl turned and walked back to her home, not wanting to go back, not after seeing the bodies of Billy, Scott, Josh, Tylor, and Shawn.
Before she left she turned, and saw the top of the Bulldog Man's home. Five terrified faces peered down back at her, pleading for help.
