I tapped on the old black box the old man had given me, but these old storys are just stupid lies, and I'm here to cover the truth of this stupid town. I'm sick of the story's I hear all the time, and I'm not a sissy
The old man, only speaking in small chants replays back "you will uncover a truth only known by three who perished before you, once you do learn the secrets of this town, you will be cursed and follo-" he snaps his head quickly to the left as an abrupt sound catches him off guard "Please mark shut up and sell the case already!" An elderly blonde woman exclaimed at him he looks at the woman his expression softening "allright dear" his voice Is now just a whisper "just know, when you are followed, you are latched, trapped, and there is no return" "Y-Yes sir" then Mrs.Sanders walks up "five dallas for the box"
I take out 3 dollars from my pocket and 50 cents in change.." suddenly Mr.Sanders slides out a dollar fifty "well I think you made the cut" he has a grin on his face as miss Sanders looks at him slightly angerly as a slender kid rides up on a bike ringing his bikes bell
"Hey Slick! Come on already! Your gonna be la-" suddenly bike tires screech as a kid tumbles over "heyyyy Jonseyyyy!" The kid that fell of his bike said "jesus christ dave what the hell are you doing!" Mr. Sanders snickers as mrs. Sanders looks even more angrier.
"You should hurry out of here kid, before my wife here ends us all" he taps my sholder and laughs a little more I take off to go to David and jones who are getting off the ground
"So what's in the case Slick?" Jones said questioningly as I put the case on my bikes handle bars "okay so you know the story's of the woods right?" David looks shocked as I continued "well tonight is the full moon and I think we should go to the woods-" I am cut off by David screeching "No! NO, NO, NO, I am not going to some spooky ass woods where people have been found hung and all the police reports a-and-" I cut him off "what are you a sissy? A little baby? I'm just here to find out, with or without you, and I dont care, because jones is going with me". Jones looked at me shocked but controlled "hey dont sign me up for anything, obviously you dont remeber when I skinned my knee down your hill" I quickly reply "this time its different, nobody's really gonna get hurt, I just wanna have some fun" jones looks at me "you remember I'm not even allowed past 8.. my mom will kill me..". He looks worried as I turn to david "okay what's your excuse"
David looks even more shocked
"you know I cant.."
"Fine! I'll go alone tonight! And when I come back with all these cool stories dont even come back asking!" I take off on my bike back home through Narrowsville, it honestly is a beautiful town in the forest, far away from the noise of the world, especially when there is this sun set..
