a short story

Untitled Part 1

once there was a traveler who traveled a lot and to many places, he had deep scars within and sought to heal and grow, so he decided to leave and travel the world.

the traveler was one day on his way through the woods, he had been traveling for many moons, and one day, he stumbled upon a cabin.

"oh my, what a quaint little cabin," he thought to himself "I wonder if whoever lives there will let me stay a night, I am oh so very tired of sleeping out in the cold."

He knocks on the door, and when the door opens, there stands a young girl, no more than 17.

"Excuse me miss, may I stay the night? I am very weary and cold" he requests,

oh my, please do come in, now, I can give you a place to stay and a warm meal, but in return, please weed my little garden out back" she replies

thank you very much miss, I would be happy to weed your garden in exchange."

he goes out back and starts weeding the garden, which he notes is filled with peculiar plants he has never seen before, he shakes off the thought as he finishes and walks inside,

"I'm all done miss," he says

oh thank you, now, I just started dinner, here, please drink some tea while you wait," she says with a warm smile.

he takes the tea and sips on it, "wow, this is delicious, I've never had anything like it" he thinks to himself.

"oh dear, it seems I'm all out of potatoes, could you be a dear and help me carry some out from the cellar?" she asks him

"Oh, sure!" he answers tiredly, 'Man, I must have not slept enough.' he thinks to himself.

as he walks down the stairs he starts to feel heavy but pushes the thought aside.

they get down in the cellar and he bends down to pick the potatoes up, but can't, he finds that he has no strength left, and as he tries to stand back upright he finds that he suddenly feels heavy and falls, then he blacks out.

he wakes up to see the young girl standing in front of him.

"oh? Have you woken up? good good." she says with a smirk, "now, can you guess what's happening?" she asks with an amused tone.

the traveler who was shocked and confused just simply looked at her

"Hm? Why so quiet?" she asked with a chuckle "Well, I'll just tell you, have you wondered why I live out here in the woods where I might get lonely?" she asked, "the answer is I don't! Because I never get lonely, I have many many friends, would you like to meet them? I'm sure you do!" I say, ten she walks to a curtain and pulls it away to reveal shelves full of skulls.

"say hello to my dear friends," she says as she caresses one with a smile. "now, it's your turn to become my friend!" she says as an eery grin creeps up on her face.

the end.
