Skurdulka the Cryptid (a nonbinary scary story) by FlyBiEnby

My best friend is an idiot crushing on a jerk. Instead of eating peanut butter cups at his house on Halloween, I'm throwing rocks at Skurdulka's house. That's how it started. I actually lay eyes on a shapeshifting cryptid and I'm not going to live to tell about it. Great. If I can get Skurdulka to let me leave (alive), I'll have a story to tell. Maybe the cryptid's not so bad. We might even have some things in common; no one gets what the f#ck we are and we're both sick of people.

It started one Friday evening. All of the goats were standing still, staring intently into the woods. They didn't move, they didn't make a sound. When a derelict truck is found in the driveway, Scott and his friend Gina search the wood lot out back to try and figure out who's truck it is and what they were doing. What they find is more terrifying than they could have imagined. A horror from ages past, returning to feed and reclaim it's title as the apex predator of the forest. The goats knew something wasn't right. Scott found out later just how wrong it all was. 2025 Note: I just ran across a site that explained how to pronounce Djieien. Say the letters J - E - A -N. Now we both know!
