Heart Attack (story/pic)

          Well, he did it.  He survived the night in the haunted house.  It was rumored that anyone who attempted to sleep in the dark abandoned building would die.  He awoke to the morning sun and opened the front door to bask in his victory.
      
          When he stepped out, he saw an apparition of the long-dead former owner of the property wielding a dagger.  The ghost grimmaced angrily at him.

           "Ha, I beat you," the young man said.  "I survived the night.  Besides, you can't hurt me.  You're just an apparition and so it your knife."  He gave a cocky smirk to the spectre.

       The ghost threw the knife, which made a thud as it hit the man in his bare muscular chest.  

          The young man was taken aback.  The sound and the sensation of something thudding against his chest felt all too real.  The breath seemed to have been knocked out of him.  He looked down and saw the hilt of the dagger sticking out of his heart,  vibrating with each heartbeat.


          He looked up at the spectre in shock and disbelief as he slowly collapsed to the ground.
