We head off into the woods. As we were walking, we heard the horrid screams of ravens, crows, and other birds chirping. The birds were screaming perfectly in sync, like a choir of death. The chirps could pierce your eardrums and cause them to bleed if it was any louder."I WANT YOUR SKULL!!!! I NEED YOUR SKULL!!!!"YOU FUCKING DIRTY SAVAGE!!" said a demonic voice that was pure evil in my head.No one else noticed.
"I WANT TO EAT YOUR SOUL; I WANT TO KILL YOUR NAME; I WANT TO DEVOUV YOUR CHAKRAS; I NEED TO DESTROY YOUR TEMPLE OF WILL YOU DIRTY SAVAGE!!! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT MY MOON cricket!!!"The Voice screamed louder as I felt a gust of wind hitting me and making me shiver. I would go south when the weather got like this.
We then see a bloody path. The trail of blood was unusually straight. For some reason, we still follow the path. But before we could even finish the path. We all hesitated because there was a horrific smell on the path. The smell of raw flesh decaying. We get the guts enough to finish the path. We trekked until we saw it. But before I fucking saw it, I threw up in my mouth a lil due to the fucking smell of the decaying organic flesh.
There was the body of a giant bear. The bear had black fur, and it was the size of a Grizzly bear. The rib cage was open, and some of the bones were cracked and damaged. All of the bear's organs were everywhere. Oscar pointed out that the bear was missing its heart. The skull of the bear was missing, and the blood of the bear was wholly drained. Not one drop was left.
The brain of the bear was split open on the ground. The bear's teeth were missing, and its tongue and gums were utterly removed.
Emma was shaking at the very sight of this horrific scene. Marry black has a weak stomach, causing her to throw up from the smell. Oscar is trying not to throw up. He hates real gore of any kind.
Dante laughs and then says the bear probably fought an enormous bear. This type of thing happens all the time. It's nature. Oscar cuts him off immediately before he can say anything else. Oscar then said what kind of animal, let alone a fucking bear is capable of this crazy mess, bro that doesn't even make sense.
Sarah says I think we should leave. We can do something else this year. I walk over to Sarah. She is visibly upset and afraid. I then said Sarah, calm down. I will protect you. Don't worry about anything or anyone, trust me. This might been a hunter
Then Dante said come on, lovebirds and losers, we have to get to the campsite before night, you scary cats. So we all walked until Dante found us the perfect spot. We all set up tents and other things to make us feel at home. To kill all the dread within the air. I sent Oscar to get some firewood. He comes back with a massive pile of sticks and twigs.
Dante places a circle of rocks around to be used as a fireplace. Oscar dumps the sticks. I grab the extra fuel pouring on the fire. I used Emma's cool skull lighter to light the campfire. We all felt the pleasant warmth of the fire. It felt like the flames were hugging us. I then make some s'mores.
We eat those delicious s'mores and talk about the good times together. We went on and on about all our fun and plans for next year. Oscar was doing some pretty funny stand-up. Then Dante passes everyone except Oscar a beer. Oscar then pulls out some chewing gum.
Then Dante, with an evil smile, said So, does anyone want to know about the three tales of the black woods? Oscar, Emma, and Mary said yes. But Sarah just gave an irritating look at Dante. Dante said well, you didn't tell any Oscar; you have to tell us the first one.
Oscar said long ago, enslaved African Americans would run to these black woods to escape from persecution. They would retreat to the deepest parts of the forest. They made villages within these woods. It said that they encountered a goat-like deity.
All of the people started to worship this goat-like deity. They then resorted to cannibalism. They would attack all who enter the black woods. Men, women, and children. They didn't discriminate on their targets. They would sometimes keep the women alive only to be used for sexual reproductive purposes. Some of the children were captured and forced to become members of this cult-like group.
Dante interrupted Oscar and then said It's my turn. You guys know, long ago, during the Salem trials, a witch was escaping persecution. She traveled until she found these woods. The witch was pregnant with satan's child. She hid in the woods also hide away from the local townsfolk and other people who were trying to track her down to kill or turn her in for a reward. She found a spot to give birth. She gave birth to a goat-like abomination. It had the head of a black goat. But the rest of the body was identical to a human male body. The goat demon then immediately, with no hesitation, started to eat its mothers alive. When it consumed all of her flesh, it grew into a full adult the size of a 7'7 man.
It gains the witch's arcane wisdom and knowledge. The goat-like creature is said to be immortal. Sarah waited patiently for her turn. When Dante was finally finished, Sarah said this is the third tale and final. Long ago, before the first man, the primordial being shub-Niggurath discovered Earth. She picked the black woods and used her blood to terraform the woods so that her young could survive.
She gave birth to goat-like abominations. Various goat-like beings. Some were humanoid in appearance, but others were eldritch half human half animal monsters. Some of her young are still matting with other beasts and devouring those who travel to this forest.
When she finished, I said you guys forget the fourth tale. Long ago, within these woods, a giant spacecraft of some sort crashed into the woods. Some of the local townspeople went to the scene of the crash site. The townsfolk didn't know what they were in for. One of the poor souls was stupid enough to open the door of the UFO. The townsfolk were also known to do wick sexual acts with goats and lambs. Some people would call them goat back mountain land of incest and goat fuckers. Dante took a break to hit a vape that was in the shape of a wizard pipe. I could smell the lemon mint flavors in the air. I watched him puff clouds of smoke and thick clouds in different shapes and sizes. I swear this man was Moses of vapes. The resin probably could be part of a sea of vapor resin.
Real quick, Oscar and Dante, didn't you all both work at the store's Wild Puffs? That was 15 minutes away from the black shell?
Me and I both gave a nod of approval like a stereotypical magical older black man in a Kingston novel.
Goat humanoid alien beings stepped out. They were creatures with multiple goat legs and had multiple mouths with a mass of tentacles. The goat beings were black and came in other different colors. The goat creatures had various mouths. They had tongues that looked like worms. The tongues had mouths on them. The alien's mind controls only one. Survivor, the poor fool who opened the spacecraft door. His name was Stone Johnson.
The rest were all eaten or dragged into the space crafted to be experimented on. Emma then said I heard a little about this legendary tale. I went to high school and was a descendant of Stone Johnson. He told me a shorter version of this.
After a long day of hiking and outdoor activities, Oscar told the group, "I don't know about you all, but I'm feeling pretty exhausted. I think it's time for me to hit the hay." He bid everyone good night and headed towards his tent. Oscar slipped into his sleeping bag, taking a deep breath as he settled in for the night.
Meanwhile, Dante announced to the group that he and Mary were ready to call it a night as well. They reached the big tent they shared, grabbing their sleeping bags and pillows. Once inside, they snuggled up close to each other, enjoying the warmth and comfort of the tent. The sounds of nature outside softly lulled them to sleep.
Emma laughed and said I know when I'm a third wheel. I'm going to bed, you love birds, have some fun. I have some joints to smoke goodnight. Emma walked and entered her tent to rest and sleep. It was just me and Sarah alone. I had feelings for her, but I kept them all bottled up. For some reason, I lacked much courage regarding the love department.
On this particular day, I felt different. It was as though I had built up the courage to express my true feelings towards Sarah finally, someone I had always had a special connection with. Despite being friends for a long time, I knew deep down that I wanted more than just friendship with her. And so, I mustered the courage and told Sarah that I had always liked her more than just a friend. I expressed how much I needed her and how much she meant to me.
To my relief, Sarah felt the same way. It was a moment of pure joy and happiness for us as we finally acknowledged the feelings brewing between us for so long. As Sarah returned to her tent, she playfully said, "Sliver, you owe me a date." We both laughed and smiled, knowing that this was just the beginning of something special.
However, despite our excitement and newfound feelings, Sarah was completely drained from the day's activities and quickly went to bed. Nonetheless, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the courage I had mustered to express my true feelings towards her finally.
"Sliver CROW YOU SHALL ME ONE OF MY EYES TO SEE PLANES BEYOND THE OMNIVERSE. I SHALL MAKE HUMANITY MY PAWNS AND SHEEP. YOUR FLESH IS SO WEAK IT IS ROOTED TO THE LOWER PLANES!!! The demonic voice sounds like an ocean of blades stabbing at my mind's soul.
"I CRAVE FOR YOU TO GO MAD OF THE EDLRICTH TURTH AND LAWS THAT I SHALL SHOW YOU CLEVER BIRDY MADE OF SLIVER. YOUR FATE IS SEALED; THE CHOSEN CROW OF THE BLACK DAWN SHALL BE THE MOUNT OF THE BLACK GAIA."
The voice in my head felt like a blazing inferno.
The voice in my head got even louder. It felt like my head fucking pounding. I took my meds and something for my headache.
Afterward, I stared at the fire, stars, and the moon. I feel exhausted, so I go to my tent to rest. When I close my eyes, all I see is darkness at first.
