The Nightmare Room #2: Locker 13

Say hi to Luke.

Today is not his lucky day. It's the first day of school, and he just got his locker assignment—locker 13. As the most superstitious seventh-grader at Shawnee Valley Junior High, he takes no chances. He wears a faded lucky shirt and carries a rabbit's foot everywhere.

Down by the janitor's closet, the scratched green door smells like rotting leaves. Just an empty locker? Guess again. Inside waits a hissing black cat with glowing red eyes. Then a strange yellow skull appears on the metal floor.

Lucky 13? No. Not for Luke. He has just opened the door to The Nightmare Room.
