Short scary stories (Storytober)

The Hotel

*There is a dark road seems to be a phone recording a video. The night is dark and trees are scattering the sharp turning road making every turn a mystery of what's behind the corner.

It's nearly 10:30 at night on this long twisted mountain road who thought a trip to go see my family would be a good idea anyway. I mean I'm the oldest of seven siblings and I have important shit to do and I don't want to just pull over on the side of the road to sleep for the night but no mom needs things done her way. Shit sorry, I just realized I haven't said who I am in this video yet have I. Well I'm Judy Parkerson.

I'm only doing this video because one of my classes needs it so I can make a quick montage of what I did over break. so we have to record ourselves to show what we do in our spare time and what we do for fun and who knows maybe if I die on this road and all that left is my phone poof case solved no need to investigate ' oh it was a deer that jumped in front of her car and she crashed' blah blah blah I honestly don't care about the class of this stupid fucking assignment but I need to pass so I can become a director whoopty do.

Anyways I've only got about three more hours left to record till I get to my parents place and then record that to send it to my teacher after I edit it, of course, to show I did the work and not just an 18 hour collage of me reading sleeping and doing nothing so yay I'll be done with this.

*As the car turns another corner there is a straightaway and in about a quarter of a mile, we see a dim light saying hotel and a vacancy part light up.

Oh look a hotel maybe I can just spend the night and leave in the morning I mean it's too dangerous on this road why did my stupid fucking GPS take me here to begin with. well looks like no one is there so there are lots of rooms hopefully no bugs and rooms that require a black light to see if I can sleep in it......who am I kidding there is nothing around here the worst there is are probably old tacky sheets and rooms of dust.

*The car pulls into a gravel driveway and a bigger building with about 13 rooms and for a moment you think you swear one of those windows you see the curtains close but no face no hands and you push it off to the side of your mind. the car stops the phone now being picked up as the camera is moving. we see a car door open then turn to shut and we can hear her feet crunch against gravel*

Well looks like there is someone inside the light is on anyway.

*The door opens there is a small bell that must have been above the door for there is a ring. There is a light like any normal light in a small room with thirteen keys along the back wall. There is no more movement and there no person behind the counter*

Hello... I'd like to rent a room for the night.

Yes deary one second these old bones need to get out of this comfy chair

*There is a shuffle of feet on the floor as the shuffling getts closer an older lady appears from around the corner she looks to be maybe in her late eighties with a jade necklace and white hair neatly in a bun atop her head.*

Oh, why hello deary you look lovely this fine night why are you out here on this old canyon road so late?

Oh thank you mam and I have to go to a family get together and my GPS routed me this way but its too dark to drive on these roads. 

Will you just need a room for the night then.....

Yes, mam and I'll pay you tonight so I can leave in the morning.

Ah very well. have you eaten anything, my dear?

No mam but I have food in my-

Oh then come to the kitchen with me I will fix you my grandmothers' recipe for a shepherds pie I have leftovers and it will go bad in a few days and I can't possibly finish it.

Oh why that's kind mam but I don't eat meat so-

*The old lady yells and her voice seems to deepen a little bit and there seems to be something lurking behind those eyes of hers but only to the trained ears and eyes of the wise, not stupid girls*

ARE YOU SAYING THAT MY FOOD IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH DEARY

No no no mam I- well what I meant to say was on occasion I don't eat meat but I'd gladly have a try of the pie

*The old lady seems to calm a bit at this and her expression and her face soften*

Oh, my bad deary, I didn't mean to yell it's just that, oh, I've been here so long I can hardly remember the when the last person was here to stay here come join me.

*The old lady beckoning for Judy to follow and the camera moves again and walks forward and goes behind the counter and there is a simple kitchen, white with black tiles along the floor it looks like a kitchen form the late '80s. there is a singular table in the center of the room with two chairs.*

This is a lovely kitchen you have here it's nice and simple.

Oh why thank you, deary, now you take a seat and I'll bring out the pie

Thank you

*The old lady opens the fridge door and brings out a huge glass pie pan there is a shepherds pie with a lid on the top the old lady brings it to the table and grabs to plates*

Aren't you don't to throw it in the oven to warm it-

ARE YOU TELLING ME HOW TO RUN MY KITCHEN DEARY

*The old lady's eyes turn a deep black and her teeth now seem to change into something like fangs but all along her upper and lower jawline her nails now growing to points like thin deadly shards of glass. As her mouth opens we see a tongue that nearly touches the floor it is long and slim, and saliva going down it in streams and dripping off the tip of the tongue.'

OH MY GO-

NOW, DEARY, THERE IS NO GOD HERE AND YOU SEEM LIKE JUST THE TYPE TO EAT WITH YOUR YOUTHFUL SKIN THE SWEET SMELL OF YOUR PERFUME, OH YOU WILL BE BETTER THAN THE OLD LADY

* As she says this her hand takes the lid off the shepherds pie container revealing a hand with a ring on it almost down to the bone you can see the rotten flesh and the dried blood around the areas its been gnawed on and in the other hand a very decomposed but clearly visible face of the old lady eyes gauged out and the jaw missing but the long white hair there*

NO NO NO NO

* The camera turns but the door shut as if the building didn't want her to leave.* 

THERE IS NO USE DEARY JUST GO EASILY IT'S BEEN NEARLY FOUR MONTHS SINCE MY LAST MEAL AND I COULDN'T LEAVE NOT YET NOT YET BUT YOU... YOU'RE PERFECT NOW COME HERE!

*The camera turns and there is no old lady or what was the old lady only the head and hands on the floor. spinning around the room there is no sign of her or it whatever it is. then in a whisper*

Yoohoo

*There is a drip of spit that falls in front of the camera. Then ever so slowly the camera goes up. Finished with the transformation there is a pale yellow creature with eyes as black as coal and teeth that look like daggers if they sank into your flesh and a slim and skinny frame with no hair just what seemed to be skin and in a voice so shrill and deep but definitely not human it screeches as if it were miles away*

HELLO DEARY LET ME HAVE A BITE

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

*And as if with the speed of a cheetah it leaps off the wall and at the camera and there is lots of screaming and as the phone hits the floor but still in the hands of Judy she twitch with each nasty sound of teeth gnashing tearing away at the flesh, and the the the sound of lips smacking together and then the creature steps away and slowly change taking the form of someone starting at the feet turning white and muscle and fat growing from the leg, then it turns and walks toward the camera, a hand reaches down and grabs the phone and the ugly creatures face recedes showing now white skin soft lips and hair starting to grow from the top of it...no her head then she opens her eyes still as black as coal and looks down.*

Now I can leave this place. Thank you for the body... deary...

* And then there is a wicked smile that comes across her face*
