The Song in the Fog

Children's horror stories. Most are shared around a blithering fire within a dainty camp surrounded by the dark night of the forest. Nothing but made-up fairytales, tales of scary fantasies that keep children in line and behaving like saints.

Nothing but fake stories to give a good scare, right?

That's what Alan believed. Nothing but a good scary story to tell just to give some thrill for the night. Absolutely harmless. Not real and nothing to worry about.

Or, that's what he thought until he saw his own tale writhing lively with a frightening horror in front of him.
