Joshua CampbellPublished 2 years ago in HorrorThe Tale of the Campfire Ghost Story Chronicles
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night a candle burned in the window. The light danced along the delicate cracks that had crept into the windowpane over a series of years, time during which the cabin had sat disregarded by the outside world, neither known to be inhabited nor uninhabited, nor known to be anything at all. Nothing was expected of that place. No, sir.
In the Prairie: A Dirge
The biting keen of the coyote's howl is the most terrifying sound you can hear out on the high grassland on a moonlight night. The coyote song is far scarier than the raspy shiver of a rattlesnake, yet an experienced trailhand can overcome his apprehension and cope with the threat. Also, do not equate it to the howl of a wolf. The wolfpack's song is this powerful, hulking cry, a frightening noise that reflects the animal's primal drive to mark its territory. While the coyote song is a sound of grief, it is a terrifying sound. If you're in the wrong spot when you hear it, it may be what happens. It is discordant and haunting and cries out for the dead to rise and dance to its strange song.

Knock knock I sat up. Across the room, the blue lights of the clock showed the time. My eyes ached at the sight of the number. Three o’clock in the morning was not even close to being an acceptable time to wake up. I dropped my head back to my pillow and struggled to sleep.

The boy’s hand shook as he lit the candles surrounding him. As he read from the book he tried to project an air of confidence in his voice although a small tremble betrayed him. He was mostly successful in his attempts to suppress his whimper as he pierced his palm with the scalpel he’d pocketed from Biology class and let a few drops of blood fall on the symbols he’d carved into the floorboards of his bedroom. After a few seconds, the room began to fill with a yellowish smoke and the boy pulled his jumper up over his nose and mouth in a futile attempt not to inhale the stench of rotten eggs. Soon a booming voice pierced his ears and a gargantuan shape began to form in the mist.

She sat up with wide eyes, her heart beating up through her throat. The room was swathed in sheets of black, the lack of light disorienting.

"I almost expected I would see him again tonight." I looked at Grandpa, Glimmer's hand very warm in mine, as we walked back to the house. Grandpa had noticed, but if he felt anything about it, he didn't voice it. Glimmer, for her part, had explained that she simply didn't want me getting lost, so she thought she might help me get home.

As we watched it rear up on its boney, half-formed tail, even Grandpa looked like we might be sunk. It had caught us, just like Grandpa had been afraid of, and now we would never be able to capture it. The Bone Collector would roam the woods like it had when it had been formed, and there wasn't a thing we could do to stop it. We had no net, no trap, and no amount of intent or desire could trap it without those things. We were done, but Grandpa wasn't quite ready to throw in the towel just yet.
