In a small town where everyone knew everyone there was a nice old farmer named Henry. He made sure all his animals we cared for and the crops were not eaten by animals.everyone in the community knew him. He was kind and let the kids play with the animals. He used to have a wife but she passed about two years ago, she was murdered. She was a bright woman who could lift up anyone's attitude.
He tended the farm everyday with no anomalies, but one day he saw a patch of dirt pushed up. He assumed it was a bear or something so he filled the large hole and went back to work. The next day the same patch of dirt was pushed up. Again he filled it in cursing the Bears. The next day when he went to feed the cows he found one was missing. There was no blood or sign of a struggle, but a patch of dirt was pushed up just outside. He put up a camera on the barn to see who or what was taking his cows.
The next morning he took the camera down and looked at the tape. What he saw made his heart jump out of his chest. The ground opened up to reveal a red hole filled with a river of blood.    The thing that came out if it was even more terrifying, it was a real demon. It was pitch black with red beady eyes and a mouth with jaws lined with bright red teeth. It floated like a ghost out of the hole but when it hit solid ground it slithered like a snake, but not into the barn. It took the camera and perched it on its head. It slithered into his house and went through the kitchen and into his bedroom. It stood there for five minutes before going back outside and putting the camera back. It slithered back into the hole and disappeared leaving the pushed up dirt he keeps finding.
Henry stars to panic. He runs outside to get to his car, but as soon as he steps onto the porch something starts pulling him across the dirt. He looks up to see the demon he saw in the video. It is much bigger than on the tape, and pulling him straight towards the hole. He kicks and screams but no one is around to hear him. As the demon is trying to stuff him into the hole he looks down and sees a gate, it was spiked at the top and had black goo oozing out from underneath it. The word HELL was written in bloody letters across the top.
"What did I ever do to deserve this?" He screamed. All of a sudden the devil himself came from the gate. The said in a loud booming voice,"You have murdered you wife, you will stay here for all eternity!"
