Just a Normal Campfire

"Hey are those hot dogs done yet?"

"No."

It was a calm, warm, summer night in late August. The stars perfectly shining, the trees brimming with life, it was every campers dream. Kodie and 3 friends have been planing this trip for over a year. Although there wasn't any wifi in the forest, they were having a great time.

"Hey Matt could you go get some more firewood?"

"Sure."

Matt happily went out to go find some sticks. But when he didn't come back, they got worried.

Another 15 minutes passed by and there was still no sign of Matt. The more time that passed, the more they got worried. They all agreed that Matt wasn't playing a trick, he was lost. Kodie grabbed a flashlight, and the others grabbed food and water in case they got lost too.

"Let's head in the direction he went in. We'll follow Matt's footprints from there." said Kodie trying to hide her fear.

So they set off on their quest to find Matt. When they got to a fork in the path, one friend took a different route. Kodie and her friend both heard what sounded like a scream and screeching metal. They shook with fear and stood very still for a long time. Kodie turned around.

"Hey do you want to go back to ca-"

There, lying on the ground, was Kodie's best friend with a mangled face and his chest and stomach was ripped wide open in a pool of blood. Kodie started to run but got knocked to the ground by a vile creature. It's eyes were blood red and it's skin as gray as pencil lead, and bloody tentacles protruding from its mouth. It had the structure of a human, but moved like a demonic spider. She screamed and crawled backward. It was no use, for the thing's tentacles lashed and teared at her. She couldn't even scream. The night was calm again. No one has ever found remains of the group; or lived to bring it back.
