Jesus and the Boogie Man!!!!

Jesus and his disciples were just going innocently across the lake... and landed in a graveyard. James did not get out of the boat. "James? What are you doing?"

"I ain't getting out here!"

John rolled his eyes. "Not that boogie man story again!"

Peter raised a brow. "What boogie man story?"

"Oh, you know. That one they tell little kids to scare them about that guy who's crazy, and nobody can chain him up, and he cuts himself with stones and screams all the time."

James clutched the sides of the boat. "It's true I tell you!!! I've seen him!!!"

John laughed. "Yeah, and you've seen Bigfoot too!"

Peter was squinting off into the distance. "Hey guys, what's that?" They heard a great scream.

"It's HIM!!!!!! It's the BOOGIE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Jesus was the only one who wasn't freaking out. The disciples jumped into the boat. "Come on Jesus! RUN!!!!!!"

But Jesus didn't move. The Boogie Man ran right up to Jesus and fell to his knees. The disciples, shaking and shivering in the boat heard him beg not to be sent away. "Pssst! James! You seem to know about this guy, what's he talking about?"

But Jesus was asking the Boogie Man what his name was. "My name is Legion!" He said. "For we are many!"

James kicked John. "You SEE!!!!! He IS demon possessed!!!!!"

Before anyone knew what was happening, Jesus said, "Come out!" and hundreds of pigs were making a run for the lake! The pig herders ran off toward the city to tell everybody.

The disciples stole a look back at the Boogie Man. "Hey! Peter! He's in his right mind!"

At this moment, tons of people from the city came to see what the commotion was about. They saw the Boogie Man sitting nicely listening to Jesus! They begged Jesus to leave.

"They're asking us to LEAVE? After what Jesus just did for the Boogie Man? The nerve!"

John shrugged. "Maybe they're mad because the bacon supply just got a whole lot lower."

Jesus was coming back into the boat. The not-so-Boogie Man asked if he could come too, but Jesus said, "Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you."

So the Not-So-Boogie Man went all about the countryside, telling amazed people about everything that had happened to him. And he lived happily ever after. The End.
