He was about to give it its head when he saw coming toward him, The Headless Rider. The clanking and clucking haunted Dookie 's ear. He knew his life was about to end, so he took action. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at him. He shot one bullet, but the Rider did not budge. Instead, he kept on creeping closer and closer to Dookie. The crunching of leaves and chains clanking, sent chills down his spine. Dookie thought to call someone for help but soon realized how dumb that sounded.
