The box said 'The Strangest Jigsaw Puzzle in the World', but the picture had been worn off the box's cover. Aurthur had found the box in an old antique shop. He loved puzzles, especially when they were a mystery.

So Aurthur sat down one Saturday night to do his puzzle. First he dumped the puzzle peices out on his table, then he started turning them over. After that, he started grouping them in color categories.

As he began to assemble the puzzle, Aurther noticed something strange. Some of the pieces had the same pattern as his wallpaper. As more of the picture began to unfold, he saw that his coffee table was in the picture as well! The puzzle was a picture of a man sitting at a table.

As soon as he found the man's face, he knew that the puzzle was a picture of him, in his apartment! How was this possible? Aurthur put more pieces in place. In the puzzle, the clock on the wall said midnight. Aurthr's watch said fifteen till.

Finally, the puzzle was assembled except for one last piece. It was the living room window. Aurthur looked at the clock it was midnight.

He put the last piece in place, only to find that in the puzzle, there was a hideous monster with glowing red eyes staring at him through the window. Aurthur turned around to look out of his living room window. And screamed.
