The metal table wobbled when the enraged man slammed his fist onto the table.

“Why can’t you tell me what you were doing in that alley!” He screamed at me.

I was tired. So fucking tired. My fingers found themselves at the temple of my head. The slight headache that has been constantly there throbbed in response to his outburst.

“Sir. I can’t think right now. Just let me go. I’m going on 5 minut...

Everyone in Tylersville heard the stories of the dense thicket that surrounded the small town. The roles were simple: don’t stare too long into the woods, don’t get too close to the graves on the northern side, and above all else, absolutely never, ever spend the night in the woods.

If I ever bothered to ask my Pa what was so dangerous about the woods, he would curse and say “Witches. Damned wome...

I would have been disgusted if my body wasn’t shaking so hard. I folded myself in the cramped, dark closet and watched in horror.
