The bell rang, I sighed with relief, knowing school would be over in a matter of weeks, I mean, school is fine, but it just gets frustrating by the end. I stood up, grabbed my bag, and headed out to the corridor, looking around to see if I could spot a familiar face to lighten my day up in the crowd.
"Bitch!"
I felt a light punch on my shoulder, it was Jack, my twin brother.
I laughed as Jack joined me on the hallway, "don't call me that! You know how mom feels about swearing" Jack rolled his eyes "whatever".
Me and Jack walked on to our house, talking about how our day at school had been, and then just talking shit about people, as we usually did. It was a normal day, just a day like a any other.
I had no way of knowing about the complete shit storm that would follow.
I arrived home, lazily left my school bag on the floor, said hi to my insane father and headed upstairs to my room, Jack did the same. I worked on some homework for about a half hour, then just gave up. I scrolled through my feed, when I heard, in Jack's voice, "JIIIILL! COME DOWN HERE!" I sighed and yelled back "WHAAAT!?" I received no answer. Ffs. I angrily stomped down the stairs to the living room. "This better be good". Jack was sitting on the couch, eyes glued to the screen. He motioned for me to come sit besides him, "What is it?" "Shhh! Just look" he hadn't even turned to look at me. I turn to the TV, "huh..?"
"MORE SIGHTINGS OF THE SO CALLED CRIMSON GHOST ARE BEING REPORTED."
"Wether it be optical illusions, a man shuffling through the woods at night or maybe even something supernatural, a large number of reports are being called in, people claim to see what appears to see the tall silhouette of a man near the edge of the [insert name] woods. Some people are reporting this as they are worried there could be some sketchy behavior going on in our dark woods, some others however, are claiming that this dark silhouette is in fact a ghostly apparition. To give his thoughts on the matter we will interview local sheriff and detective, Brian Wheatley."

A stern but calm looking man was shown on the TV, that's our sheriff, Brian Wheatley. He's a total badass. Interested now, I got more comfortable on the couch, hard to do because Jack was taking up a lot of space.
"Sir, what are your and the police's opinions on the matter" Brian thought for a few seconds, then looked back at the interviewer "We plan to look into it, it's not a giant threat, but it would be wisest to stay clear from the woods. "What do you think is causing this?" "It's probably just some confused animal, but as I said it'll be looked into" "What do you think about this being some supernatural being?" Brian shook his head and chuckled "it's ridiculous".
Jack turned to me smugly "wanna go check it out?" "Hell yeah!" Because who wouldn't want to go into a dangerous forest, where we could very possibly get mauled to death by wild animals. Jack took out his phone, "who're you texting?l" I ask curiously, "Ziggs". I sigh disappointedly "you're not inviting him, are you? He's kind of a hard ass" Jack laughed "what happened to 'What'll mom think?'" I roll my eyes "
