I was influenced to write the this story because I was sick of writing lame animal stories in everyday writing logs and I thought it might be fun to whip up something new... and with a spooky fling to it. Scary movies never caught my attention really, unless I watched them. Then I'd be regretting it for weeks. I just thought I might add something new to my life. I had no problem creating the plot and people of the story. I pretty much just made them up out of the blue.
