Quickly, to the FORBIDDEN ZONE.

What is your fascination with my 'Forbidden Closet of Mystery'?

That big fat bag of Doritos inside of it.
And the large Coca-Cola bottle.
Pretty much (keep the corpses, though).

My God man! Don't you know that only Stupid Movie People go into the Forbidden Room?!!!
I'm the guy who has to know where the trail of blood leads.
I've told this story before but it bugs me that I can't figure out how it was done so I'll tell a short version. After working late on some land I own I walked a narrow brush choked trail just past sunset while whippoorwills whistled in maniacle profusion until I came to a pile of limbs I decided to set fire to. It was cool damp October and I figured it was time.
It got full dark before it had burned down to campfire size. I was lost in thought as you do when you fire gaze. Without preamble a limb broke with a startling pop in the woods beyond the firelight. A large limb. Higher than my reach I judged. It had my full attention. I was alone miles from any house.
Just when I thought it an odd happenstance, had convinced myself it was the weight of a coon or turkey on an old limb, another broke a few feet beside it. It continued that way in a circle around me every 20 or 30 seconds. Sometimes there was just enough time to think of a new excuse for it. I never quite convinced myself because it was dead quiet and strain as I might I never heard a footfall in all those leaves and branches. There is a difference in the sound a small branch makes and one the size of your leg and that bothered me too.
It quit after it had made a full circle. It bothers me that I had no flashlight and will never know. It was a damn good trick and nearly makes me believe in supernatural shit.

Omg, Tocky - we really need to talk.
First of all: DO NOT, under any circumstances, be caught alone in the woods, miles from home, after dark (honestly; what were you thinking!??). Especially without a flashlight, walkie-talkie, and/or cell phone (flamethrowers are optional, but I believe in being fully prepared). I mean, really, one just does not stop to light a fire deep in the woods when one knows that dusk is approaching especially if one is totally alone - myGawd! Don't you evar watch those movies or were you just not paying attention???
Secondly: Once you hear an Unexpectedly Strange But Distinctively Spooky Sound, DO NOT stay where you are to listen for more U.S.B.D.S.S.s - - RUN! LIKE! HELL!!! (At this point it's okay to start screaming like a little girl and windmilling your arms as you run - this will startle your pursuer just long enough to give you a head start.)
And C: I reiterate all of the above.
P.S. If it's any consolation, it probably wasn't supernatural ..... it was probably Bigfoot.

Let this be a lesson to all you kids to: not leave home without your proton pack, learn that the 'let's split up' tactic never works, and to not have premarital sex unless you want to buy the farm.

Even functioning elementary schools are terrifying places when empty. The corridors are alive with the undying misery of those who wet their pants in class, the suffering of children humiliated in games at recess and the lingering agony of the innocent TRAPPED IN A NAPTIME THEY DIDN'T CREATE!!! And you should have stood silently facing the wall and refusing to respond when your relief arrived. :D

I recall working during one or two weekends, it was so depressing, it seemed like no one was alive in the whole planet.
Trust me technology is of no company when you're all alone in a building.
:eek:
