The
tale
of
Dead Jeni
Jeni was just a shy girl, who could never ever win. When a group of false friends finally took her in.
Driven to a deep wood, a place no one would see. A Halloween party, where she could never flee.
Her new friends pushed her down and gave her awful kicks. Not a night of yummy treats, but of hurtful tricks.
They dumped her in the gravel, bloody and alone. And when Jeni woke, she had somehow made it home.
Looking, in the window, she felt her small heart crack. Poor Jeni gazed in, but DEAD JENI glared back.
Now she returns for vengeance one night every year. To punish all transgressors and revel in their fear.
Never mock DEAD JENI'S tale or ever leave your friends. Lest she crash your party, and the screaming never ends.
