The Ancient Zumerbast Civilisation is of a great interest to many students studying in Boston.
So when some students go on a study trip to the village, they are forbidden to go into the forest because of some weird happenings in the past.
Young, immature and a lover of mysteries and thrillers, Rosinda is not scared by some 'grandma's bed time stories'. She's intrigued by the stories but also believes they are just for the kiddos. So one day when she decides to sneak into the forest she regrets her stupidity.
There are lots of tales about the Hunter Crackers to hear about. They look like large hounds but they're much larger, heavier and stronger. It is rumoured that they ate away the entire civilians because a couple betrayed them by running away into the forest. Rosinda finds the story funny but most people believe in it. There have been deaths in the past but no one dares says a word for they know the Hunter Crackers would repeat history if they needed to maintain peace in the Village

Be Careful, Child (A Two-Part Short Story)
"Long ago in Silva Hills, a sudden noise of loud music and laughter echoed throughout the dark parts of the forest one night. The citizens who lived nearby were shaken awake by the sounds and were left sleepless. It was said that five people volunteered to investigate the source of the racket. The sounds stopped an hour later but....the group were never seen again. Some believed that whatever was out there, got to the unfortunate people while some think the group is stuck in some place and they can't get out. Either way, no one really knows for sure what happened to them." This story soon became a rumor the following years to come. Older people would use this tale to scare off children wandering in the woods at night. Pranksters would sometimes report that they've heard the same strange sound described in the story; and this is why everyone starts to debate whether this narrative is fictional or real. A newcomer will soon uncover whether this tale told by the townsfolk is true or not as an unintentional instinct leads her to where it is. But will the truth ever be revealed? Let's find out...Complete
