I just have to tell you about this one. A couple of days ago I got an email from Karl Krahn. "Todd, the Vergennes cross country team and I will be in Lincoln on Saturday night staying at a camp. Feel free to scare them."
How can I refuse? On Saturday evening I got Ben, Ally, Ahmin, Sam and their friend Isiah and we decided to take Karl up on his offer. We had no real plan and decided to wing it.
The camp is quite large. Maybe 2500 sq. ft. We noticed the lights were all on as we pulled near with our own lights off. We got out of the van and headed into the woods to the right of the camp. Some people were outside at a campfire but went in about 5 minutes after we got there. Now, with everyone inside, we could move around without fear of being seen.
We spotted Karl sitting on a couch by the back door. The plan came to me. We'll burse through the door, grab Karl and run into the woods. I was wearing a full camo suit and hockey mask (Jason style) so it was decided that I would be the first in the door. We gathered by the door and got ready. This was going to be great! With a rush we were through the door...and found ourselves in a utility room. It turns out, the door that Karl was sitting by, was still 10 feet away from us. Very funny!! Luckily, no one heard us.
As we got ready to go through the second door I grabbed a grill brush off the wall. I thought it might make for a good "rush the creepy guy in the mask deterrent". Boom! We were in. We found about 6 or 7 of them playing games not far from Karl. They were frozen, eyes wide open. The crew grabbed Karl and we were gone. Into the woods we ran.
Surprisingly, one of the kids ran after us and even, without a flashlight, stepped into the woods. He must not of been able to see well because he stopped about a foot from where I was laying. He was looking deep into the woods, trying to make out anything that moved. It didn't take me long to decide to wrap my arms around his legs and snort like an angry tiger. HA! Very funny. I started to run away. Guess what? He chased after me...and he was carrying the grill brush I had dropped. Before I knew it, I was being hit with a grill brush!
My overall rules for the night were: Do no harm and Don't get shot. I decided to amend the rules to include: Don't get beat. I stopped running and took off my mask and revealed my true idenity and mission details. He introduced himself and it turns out...this was his parents camp. Too funny! He thought so too and decided to add to the fun.
By now the whole team had gathered on the lawn, still unaware of what to do. The host, still with a grill brush in his hand, ran toward them screaming. "They're crazy! Mountain rednecks with knives. They took Karl!!! One guy has mask covered in blood!!!"
I was too busy laughing to come up with anything else. I walked out from behind a tree and stared toward the group for one last scream! I took off my Jason mask and said "Welcome to Lincoln"
