December 20th

Heyaaa Myri -chez

Blair witch smitch. MoFos. This is gonna be epic. We got the cameras set. Recreation nation. And I canā€™t wait! What a way to celebrate the Christmas countdown crap. And get the grade for the media project to boot. Damn hell, I love film school. Iā€™ve wanted to do something like this spoof for like ever! Itā€™s what I came to film school for! Roll on tomorrow. Lights, camera. Action! Here we go....

December 21st:

Exhibit A. Recovered Footage. Crackling but voice distinct.

The boy stares into the camera narrating the journey. His eyes dark and deep. His face insipid under the torchlight. ā€œThe forest is black like the cry of a depraved wolfā€ he says dramatically. Muffled Laughter. ā€œThe snow bites the torn earth. A scavenger of life ā€“ suffocating all in its path.ā€ More incessant laughter. ā€œShut up, foolā€ Female voice. Laughter. Louder. Fade to black.

December 22nd:

Hey Myri-chez,

Gotta admit, shit got pretty creepy last night dudes. And Iā€™m not easily spooked, but Iā€™m telling you a bunch of weird-ass shizz went down -symbols etched into the trees, like a trail of some kind. Tonight, weā€™re gonna follow them. Thatā€™s the plan anyways. And orange ribbons? Like WTF? Thanks for the inspo. We better get an A for this shit. Iā€™ll let you know how it does. The trail and the A. Obvs.

Later, legends,

J

December 23rd:

Exhibit B. Recovered Footage: Blurry. Dialogue indistinct.

Earth snow. Footsteps Heavy. High level wind. Crunch. Crunch .Crunch.

Ssshshhhhhhhhhhhhhhsshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

December 24th - Christmas Eve:

Shit man. That was freaky as fuck. Voices. Everywhere voices. I canā€™t explain. Blood. There was blood. Not mine. Maybe mine. I donā€™t know. Weā€™re out here alone. The moon. The moon howling. Red. The ten..

December 25th - Christmas Day:

Exhibit C. Found Footage: Grainy. Silent. Mostly.
