SCAREWOODS THE SERIES : THE THING THAT CRAWLS

1

“I’m telling you, something is definitely off about everyone at our school. These bulky bloodshot eyes, they look pale in the face, and something sticky is stuck on their necks. What are those things? What’s up with everyone lately?” Samuel asked.

“How? And what are you talking about Sam?” Egypt asked.

“I’m talking about everybody being horrible and scared in their eyes. It’s like someone….or something.....is watching them or they saw something terrifying."

Meet Samuel Princeton, the smart kid. He’s kind of a guy who would see things and thinks it's real (his imagination).

“Well whatever happen, it seems pointless. Aren’t you going a little too dramatic, just a little bit." Egypt implies. Meet Egypt, the friend of Samuel Princeton. She would not listen to Samuel at times, but she will always be right beside him. Samuel considers Egypt more like an older sister to him.

“Hey Sam?”

“Yeah?”

“Whatever happened to Ava or Malcolm?” She asked.

“I don't know. Maybe they were part of that freaky incident like everyone else. Probably sicker to the bone." He suggested.

“And what makes you so sure that Ava nor Malcolm could be part of everyone else’s problem?” She finishes, “I’m sure they will come back tomorrow."

Samuel let his friend to the door & told her goodnight. A weird throbbing light pain aches his neck, the house went completely silent….dead silent. He was only by himself because his mother went back on her job in an emergency meeting, and his dad.... well lets just say, he works offshore. Creaking noise from the floorboards shivers his spines, giving him quite the goosebumps now that he realizes someone or something is in his home. His eyes became huge staring at a shadow that crawls over the wall from the dining room, it was unusual. Yet, it's unusual because..there’s something in his house.

“Oh no not again.” Samuel said nervously finishing, “ I need to get out of here and quick, before it comes back.”
