My Experience with a Skeleton

Author's note: This story is intentionally weird and nonsensical. Just thought I'd say it.

---

It was a crisp midnight, the kind where the wind blows extra hard. I was alone in the basement playing with a Rubik's cube, while my iguana was in the kitchen listening to metal music. Beside me was an old hat, untouched to the point where it was decaying. I kept looking at the hat, intrigued. "I don't think I should touch it.." I said to myself. I stared at it for a long time to the point I realized I mangled the Rubik's cube. I muttered some nonsense as I put down the Rubik's cube, picked up that old hat, and walked up the stairs.

And then a skeleton popped out.

The skeleton saw the hat and looked very upset. "That's my hat," the skeleton said. "Would you like it back?" I asked him. "Yes," he said, "but first, I challenge you to a du-el!" He drew a sword! "WHAT THE--" I screamed. My thoughts were cut short by the skeleton tossing his sword at my iguana's cage, like a dartboard! It hit my iguana in the right nostril, as blood began pouring out of it!!! "THAT DOES IT!" I screamed again, "YOU ASKED FOR IT!!"

I grabbed an old pencil from the desk I was standing next to. I charged at the skeleton, and poked out its eye with it! It crumbled into a pile of bones instantaneously. That's when I realized, my iguana was still alive.

"What? How?" I asked myself. I looked around, when I saw that the hat disappeared too. "What is happeniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing?" I scream-asked. Then I realized that that hat might've been connected to the skeleton in some weird way, but I couldn't tell you.

So, that was what happened that night. I still don't know if it happened or not...
