It was a dark and stormy night and Jack was walking home alone.

“Hey Jack!  It’s about time I get my hands on you!” said an unknown voice. 

Jack froze. It sounded familiar. Oh no!  Could it possibly be…Chuck? The last time he saw Chuck was when he was walking over to his grandma’s house. He’d given Chuck a wet willie and was sure that Chuck wasn’t happy about it.

“Chuck?  Is that you?” Jack asked.

“Yeah! It’s me! And I’m going to be the terror of your lifetime!”

Jack was scared.  He didn’t know what Chuck was going to do, but he knew it wouldn’t be pretty, so he started to run.

“Come here Jack! I didn’t get to destroy you yet! You’ll pay for what you did to me last time.”

Chuck ran over to Jack and grabbed him by his shirt collar. Jack didn’t know what to do so he bit Chuck.

“Ow!” Chuck cried.  His hand turned red where the teeth marks showed and he let go of Jack. 

Jack saw his chance and dashed home. There he found an anonymous present for him. When he opened it, a boxing glove popped out and punched him.
