S1, Part 4: Unseen Threat
After the traumatic incident in the forest, Sam and Uthman made a pact never to return to those dark woods again. They resumed their normal lives, finding solace in online games like Roblox, a welcome distraction from the horrors they had encountered.
One day, as they were immersed in a virtual world of gaming, Sam was suddenly jolted by a chilling memory of the Looms. A timely popup warning appeared on his screen, alerting them to the presence of these creatures lurking in the shadows and hiding in bushes. It advised them to carry a sharp weapon when venturing outside for protection. However, this time, the memories of their past injuries and terror were too vivid. Sam promptly closed the popup, choosing to focus on their games.
Meanwhile, their little sister, Jolly, blissfully played with her toys at the tender age of 3. Her laughter and playful innocence provided a stark contrast to the grim reality outside. However, her needs soon demanded attention, and she began to cry, hungry for food.
Sam, temporarily pausing his game, responded to Jolly's cries, heading to the kitchen to prepare her meal. Uthman, still engrossed in the game, suddenly noticed movement outside near the house, by the window. His instincts kicked in, and he grabbed Sam's baseball bat, cautiously approaching the source of the disturbance.
As he neared the window, a creature suddenly burst in, startling Uthman. Without hesitation, he swung the baseball bat relentlessly, but to his shock, the creature showed no signs of stopping.
Sam, who had been busy cutting bananas, heard the commotion and ran to their room with the knife he had been using for slicing fruit. His heart raced as he entered the room, witnessing the same eerie, paper-thin creature that had terrorized them before. Sam acted swiftly, mirroring Uthman's earlier actions by cutting the creature in half.
They believed the threat was over, but they remained unaware that another Loom had witnessed the demise of its companion. And as the day turned into night, a looming, ominous presence signaled that something much larger and more sinister was approaching.
To be continued...
