I'm not a good person.
I'm not evil or malicious.
But I believe people ought to look after themselves
and making stupid decisions hurt
is God's way of keeping us smart.
I have had time to think of myself as a good or bad guy
and I guess that somewhere along the line
I realized I'm not a good guy.
And on the heels of that
one revelation came another.
I don't really care.
People in my situation
tend to grow up quickly.
You'd think my dad cared about my math homework
when he was coaxing me through the open window
of a farmer's house
so I could open the door for him and his friends to rob it?
My little sister's moved on now,
living with an aunt up north.
But for a long time,
it was on me,
a kid myself, to keep her fed.
It's weird.
There'd be kids talking smack about me
because my hair was too long,
or I was rude to a girl who liked me
or I tackled someone a little too hard in football.
And the whole time I'd be wondering if I'd go home and find my dad
lying half dead in the tub again like he was the night before.
Over time, I started getting the kick out of pulling one over on the kids in my school.
You buy drugs off me that didn't do jack?
Not my problem.
You take up my offer of cheap car repair and find out six months later
it's been chopped up senseless and half the parts replaced with knockoffs.
Not my problem.
You give me your phone to jailbreak and it comes back with a key logger?
Trust me to buy tickets to find I flogged them on eBay?
Break about your dad's shiny new cigar collection, only to find it missing the next day?
None of it was my fault, at least as far as I was concerned.
It's funny though.
I had this huge chip on my shoulder about all these idiots who didn't appreciate what they had,
and I didn't even think twice when James approached me asking for help.
I just saw it as another opportunity to fleece a dumbass for some cash,
some trusting loser without enough common sense to know better than to trust me.
James was, to quote, a few girls in his class, a total creep.
He never crossed any lines, but he had a way of looking at people
that made them feel like a petri dish under a microscope.
He had a thick, heavy brow, a bean-shaped head,
and keen eyes that probed your face and body as he listened to you.
He'd do things like eat frozen pizza for lunch, drink protein shake without ever working out,
and cut his own hair in the toilets with a clipper he brought from home.
Oh, and of course, he stank like hell,
and often boasted of the fact he would only shower once a month.
I'd never once spoken to him one-on-one,
or ever given him any meaningful attention in my whole life,
and yet he came to me on the day of his father's death.
I mean, I didn't know back then.
He just turned up with a bunch of credit cards and a dying need to have fun, make friends, and, quote, get ready for college.
Specifically, James wanted to throw a house party, and I was the only way he could think of to make it happen.
Everyone else had politics, he said.
No one else would hang with a loser like him, or even help him.
But only I would offer an honest service in exchange for money.
his dad had left town for a month he said
I had to get as many kids from our school year as I could to his house
spend whatever I needed to buy the booze and drugs necessary to keep him happy
and in exchange he'd pay me a grand in cash
another person might have asked where James had got the cash
or why he was so desperate for a big blowout
but I never saw it as my responsibility to look after someone else's stuff
if he wanted to give me the money
I sure as hell wasn't going to stop him
so I took the cards
emptied them out across a good few ATMs
and spent the following day
buying all the pot and booze I could lay my hands on
I can't say exactly why
I actually decided to go ahead
and throw the kid his party
I was 17 at this point
and seriously tempted to just ditch town
with the cash I had
but I decided that there was no good reason
not to give him the party he wanted.
I really went all out in the booze,
pot and invites,
the first two being the most important motivators for people.
And by the time I rocked up to his place on Friday,
I remember genuinely thinking
that there was a 50-50 chance
James would be dead come Monday.
The thought filled me with a kind of perverse pride.
But man, there was nothing right about James' place.
He had this big, stately home
with loads of cool stuff.
but it was harder to get people up there than you might think.
A few teenagers went missing up in those mountains when we were just toddlers
and they were found in a pretty gruesome state.
It was a bit before my time
and apparently there's other stories about the woods.
Stories going back a long time
but most people won't talk.
I know every town has a place like this
but at the time I didn't know an inkling
of what was really going on.
That whole damn mountain is messed up.
Back then, all I knew was that it was riddled with these old derelict buildings,
half buried under dense thickets of roots and tree tops.
They formed these nasty little trenches hidden along the wind-swept mountain
that made great cover for anyone who wants to drink or smoke in peace.
At least, they would if anyone went there regularly.
One time I went up there when I was 14 and looking for a place to be a place to be able to.
to get high, gleefully ignoring the warnings from older kids to stay away.
I found three of those buildings with bricked up doorways.
The occasional loose stone were feeling black stairs descending deeper into the darkness.
Some were just fragments of old houses that looked like they'd been real homes once.
Others were these brutalest concrete bunkers that made you think of illegal government
experiments. The whole place made you feel like you were enduring an awkward silence.
But I ignored the trembling anxiety in my stomach and trekked deeper until I came across a crumbling grey wall hallowed by the black roots of a fallen tree.
It was pouring with rain, so I couldn't see much of it.
But I approached, wondering if the tree bellied a downdrop to one of those trenches that offer cover.
When I saw bright red letters graffeted over the wall, their colour boardline fluorescent amidst the gloom.
Alice Landlin was attacked right here.
It read, with a crude arrow pointing at a large hollow just below,
a space that was just about big enough for a person to lie in.
It felt genuine, I guess I'd say.
It felt mocking.
The letters appearing almost cruel in the grey dismal light,
and even though I had no reason to, I believe the words.
It was enough to break me.
I left, ran even, ran all the way home, gripped in a terror,
an instinctive belief that if I lingered there too long,
something terrible would wake and come for me.
In a way, I was right.
I spent so long stealing and being a little ass in school
that I started to think of myself as a bit of a wolf amidst sheep,
as the smartest person in every room.
All I thought about was how easy it was going to be to milk James for cash.
The night I arrived, the sun was setting and spring had already started dragging the sunset further back into the night
so that it was a mild pleasant evening with the trees cast in a warm amber glow.
I found James on the front lawn quietly listening to a group of girls talk.
He looked out of his depth, so I sat down beside him and waited for a lull in the conversation to compliment James's house.
The comments brought out a flurry of similar crimes.
from everyone, and within minutes
the conversation turned from the house
to James himself, where
everyone told funny and occasional
awkward anecdotes about the
poor kid. But
it got him involved at least,
and after a few drinks,
he started hitting back with his own stories
and jokes about the others.
It felt like a small step in the right
direction, and I
was happy with it.
And yet, despite that,
I didn't feel like
actually joining in with the fun.
At the time, I couldn't figure out why,
but I felt a terrible knot in my stomach,
just being up in the mountains.
So, I hung around outside for most of the night,
smoking and chatting,
while one by one people went off and joined the fun indoors.
I couldn't blame them.
Everyone was there,
easily over 150 kids,
with more than enough room to contain them.
James's house had a pool,
cinema, tennis courts, trampoline, and even a damn quad bike for anyone stupid enough to ride one.
They drank, got high, screamed, shouted, cried, threw things, smashed glasses,
and I heard all of it sitting in my stoop with nothing but a quarter-ounce in my thoughts.
I was left alone like this until James came stumbling out of the door behind me,
laughter braying recklessly into the night.
There were two girls with him and one was giggling.
while the other quietly flicked through the pages of a strange book.
Hey man, hey, James hissed,
drunkly slurring his words through his rotten teeth.
Hey, hey, hey, we're going to go into the woods.
Wanna come and do some black magic?
His eyes flashed wide on the last word
so that I was left with a lasting image of white irises
like headlights in the dark.
The girl beside him added,
he reckons he can show us something real, says the words are really haunted.
The other girl, who I knew as Ellen, was fixated on the book and muttering.
This book is nuts. It looks like the real thing.
All right, I said, clicking a roach into the bushes.
But then I'm going to shoot off, okay?
I didn't much like it up there.
And I had a sneaking suspicion that if any cops came, James had dropped me in it all too red.
He made a few plaintive efforts to keep me around, but he was too drunk to make much of an argument,
and I set off into the woods with the others, impatient to get it over with.
Even just a few metres into the trees, and I didn't like it.
It seemed to my ears that the only sound as we walked was the crunching on my footsteps,
but from up ahead came the fleeting drunken laughter of the others that occasionally distracted me.
The moon was out in full, covering the floor with an undulating silvery light,
and yet it was still uncomfortably dark,
and when James turned on a flashlight, I finally cried out,
James, man, how down far are we going to go?
He muttered something I didn't hear, but stopped anyway, and let me catch up with him.
When asked again, he replied,
There's a spot by here, that will do.
For someone who was drunk, he walked with surprising ease across the uneven mulch,
carrying us away from the path in a perpendicular direction for a few hundred yards.
Remember, he cried out as we emerged into a small opening.
You picked this one.
He winked at me and a knot formed in my stomach.
One by one we filed into the small space like a herd,
and as I took the details in,
I suddenly felt as if I'd been dropped into a surreal dream.
Jesus Christ!
One girl cried.
That's a messed up thing to write.
Beside me, I watched the girl with a book momentarily look up
and mouth the words I so clearly recognised from my last trip to the mountains.
She paused, reflected on them for a brief second,
and then cried out,
Bloody hell!
Some dark places.
in these woods, James said, sitting cross-legged without a care in the world on a small hill
near the hollow. This is just one of them, but is an ideal spot nonetheless.
Quietly, we joined him on the floor. There was an awkward pause, leaving enough time for me
to look over my shoulder and suppress a shiver in the darkness between the trees. It seemed
at once, both still and endlessly changing, and the forest air,
felt home to an unseen, threatening presence.
Is this real?
Ellen asked, holding the book open for us all to see.
Oh no, James replied.
That book is a total fraud.
The girl paused, taken aback by his answer.
You said it'd be the real deal?
It will be real, he said,
but the book is just a prop.
We can read from it if you like.
It is here to give things an authentic feel.
For like ghosts?
The other girl said.
To bring them out?
No, he replied, eyeing us darkly.
It's for you.
Why would we need a prop?
One by one, James looked at us,
and I felt a chill pass over me as if his glare was leaching my soul.
All of a sudden, alarms long since,
buried deep within my lizard brain flared.
Get out, they cried.
Run now, leave.
Nothing else matters.
Flea.
How else was I going to lure you out here?
He replied.
And just like that, Ellen disappeared from my eyeline, crumpled to the floor with a hideous crack.
Her head had been seized by a strange arm reaching out of the darkness.
It's heavy, inky palms so large it could have held her skull like an
egg. The muscled forearm was pallid, quivering, and so close to my face I could smell the rancid
heat of its earthy sweat. Ellen wasn't even making any sound. She'd been killed instantly,
snapped and broken like a twig in a single motion. Slowly I craned my head over and saw
nothing but a wall of arms that rolled like waves in the darkness. I could have sworn I was dreaming,
right up until one of the hands reached out and grabbed the edge of my jacket.
I started screaming and kicking as it dragged me away,
only free myself from the jacket at the last moment.
I looked up to see it pulled back into the wall where it had torn to pieces
and, following close, came the longest arm that carried the swaying,
broken corpse of Elin.
Every hand groped for her, and within seconds she had disappeared from sight,
pulled into the impossible depths that defied all logic.
I sat there, paralyzed, dimly aware of the sounds of footsteps
as the other girl sprinted into the open woods,
only to be shocked awake by her hysterical screams
as she was snatched into the Inky shadows.
Finally, I pulled myself to my feet,
switched on the light and marveled at how it banished the shadows and the arms,
dismissing them from reality like those strange illusions that flip,
between one image and another.
I took the chance the light offered
and fled, catching a fleeing
glimpse of the girl's head trapped
in the shadow. Her skull being
crushed like an apple by a
grossly oversized paw.
The next thing I can remember
was clearing the trees to reach
James' house. The base
he cook off and he had died down, but
I could still hear people screaming
and crying.
They were desperate howls of
terror and pain, and
I ran straight to my car, ignoring any thoughts about warning the others.
But I was left in despair when I shoved my hand into my pocket and felt nothing there.
You didn't disappoint, James cried, and I turned to see him standing by the open front door
while jingling a set of car keys.
You would have let me have them all, wouldn't you?
But I'm afraid you, of all people, won't be getting off the hook that easy.
He disappeared into the house, and I was forced to follow.
The house was quiet.
All the lights had been cut, and the darkness was so heavy, it turned my torch into a strangled pale misty beam.
I slowly began making my way down the hall, and stopped briefly to look at the dining room,
the grand oak table running nearly its whole length, while chairs lay scattered around the room.
It looked bled of colour in the torch's light,
all except for the startling bright red display of a blooded shoe alone on the tabletop.
From further down the hallway a scream rang out and I followed it to the nearby utility room.
A guy around my age was hanging out of the washing machine.
Callast, soot-covered hands grabbed and pulled at his body.
But he had two arms braced on either side of the hole and I could see that it was all that kept him alive.
He was shaking from the exertion and looked at me with panicked eyes.
Help, he whimpered, and as if on cue, he was yanked through the opening and into the shadow.
I ran forward and shone the light in, but there was nothing but a gory tumbler rotating to a slow stop,
stalactites of blood and gristle dripping from top to bottom.
I was in a nightmare.
As my torch moved from side to side, desperate arms would reach out of the darkness only to recede once more.
In a fugue state, I carried on through the house, feeling detached and isolated from the bizarre things I saw.
Lone eyes hanging in unbroken light bulbs, people screaming for help from behind classy reflections,
fingers probing desperately from within empty beer cans, their owners pleading to be let out.
There were other survivors.
Glassy-eyed teenagers huddled around what few sources of light still worked.
Their faces soaked in the blue light of malfunctioning televisions and computer screens.
One girl I found beneath the stairs, her hands clutching an iPad to her head,
as those demonic hands stroked and caressed her cheeks and hair in an almost playful, sickening way.
I can't put it down, I can't put it down, I can't put it down.
She was hyperventilating
And I went to help
But she snatched the iPad away
And kicked out at me
Mine! she screamed
She poured the iPad back close to her head
And I watched as the throne of arms
Enclosed around her even further
Until only her face was visible
Amidst the undulating dark
There were stranger things still
On the upper floors
I found rooms with barricades
Strange tallies counted
up on the walls, beds made a clothes and rubbish. I found a live, desperate man, no one I
recognized, and he was easily in his mid-twenties. But at the sight of me, he lunged out of the
darkness, laughing and crying in hysterical joy. You found me, he sobbed, just before his own
torch faltered, and something awful ripped him between the slats of the floorboards.
It's been so long, were his final words, wrenched.
painfully out of his lips, before he was practically liquefied by the force of his death.
Once again, I was left stunned before a bubbling pile of gore, but it wasn't done.
Yet another arm rose out of the filth, but this one was different.
It looked real, raw, twitching muscle wrapped in newly birthed skin.
Unlike the wretched hands that writhed in the confusing shadows, this hand,
looked fresh, glistening and meaty.
For a few seconds, it fumbled against the floorboards until it found purchase.
It started to pull more and more of itself out of the quivering flesh of its victim,
and I realized the arm was being re-knitted from the mishmash of whatever gristle and bone was near.
By the time I saw the second-hand emerge, it dawned me that my flashlight did nothing to hurt the arm,
and that it just kept on heaving and pulling
until a bold, screaming head
started to emerge from the impossible space.
It was like watching an adult being born whole
and eventually inside me clicked
and I ran away in terror
before I could see the face.
Yum, yum, it cried out after me,
into voice like a talking beehive.
Yum, yum.
I was halfway to the next floor
when I turned and saw the misshapen torso tear itself free with a pained grunt.
It was little more than a gaunt set of ribs hanging a redistended, malnourished belly.
The strange arms so long now that their elbows knocked the broken light fixture
and framed the wretched monster the way a spider's legs frame its body.
It saw me staring.
Its face nothing but a featureless stretch of broken, whole riddled skin.
It looked like bisected bone, and the thousands of strange openings whistled,
blaring spit all over the floor as it spoke those words once more.
Yum, yum, it thundered toward me, and I didn't wait to see any more.
I ran up the stairs and reached the upper floor,
just in time to see a hairy knuckled arm slapped down on the bottom step.
I turned to flee only to run straight into a guy I recognized from the part
party. He was in shell shock. Most of his hair had been torn out and his scalp was bleeding.
His face was battered and bruised. One eye, so swollen, he shouldn't even see out of it.
In the light of my torch, his skin looked like the colour of a yellow bruise, and the slick
patina of sweat across his face made him look ill and feverish.
It keeps coming, he mumbled, before vomiting all over me.
I might have wretched or cried out
But I could just make out movement in my periphery
And I pushed him aside and ran
We're dark inside
The guy cried out
Just in time for me to notice
That the stringy bile that dripped down from my hair
Was slick with blood
Fingernaws and human hair
It was shocking enough to cause me to fumble
Tripping up over a shadow hand
That was there one second
And gone the next
we're all dark inside the guy sobbed before throwing up once more and this time i noticed strange probing fingers gripping either side of the mouth to hold it open as a torrent of teeth and other human effluent poured out of him onto the floor and then just like ellen he was crushed with an effortless blow from above that thing from the floorboards had climbed the stairs looming over the broken body of the
spewing boy and looking down at the splintered remains of head and chest like a child
eyeing up a toy. Its gorilla hands nudged the mess as the face continued to whine and whistle
like a thousand blue bottle flies trapped in a dumpster. It had no legs for the oddly human
abdomen terminated in a thousand shredded strips that twitched like writhing sillier and I
noticed them curling and writhing like the tentacles of a sea anemone. Without any
further hesitation, it planted its face into the pulped remains of the boy and began heaving,
slurping the licked gore into its head. I couldn't bear to watch it feed, and I ran without
looking back until I stumbled onto a ladder. Seeing an opportunity, I climbed it, opened the
trapdoor above, and then pulled the ladder up and sealed the opening as quickly as I could.
I didn't know if that thing had seen me, but I felt it was the best I could hope for.
When I finally took stock of my surroundings, I realized I was trapped in a spire that peaked out over the treetops, offering clear sight of a bruised and colourful night sky.
Do you like it?
He said, gesturing to the lurid stars.
Behind him was a corpse, dangling from the rafters.
The face bloated and grotesque.
It was a man, and after a second or two, I recognised the distorted face.
That's how you got the money, I said.
That's your father.
He did what I think many people would do in this situation.
James replied.
Stuck up here with these things, scuttling around in the dark, an awful what?
So you can run around stealing cars and selling pirated DVDs,
so some dick can kick a ball really far and get laid for it,
so our teachers can spend their time celebrating the mediocre and the stupid.
It's just so boring.
And you, he laughed.
I mean, the others, they're at least at peace with their own BS.
But you honestly, genuinely think you're better than everyone else.
But you're just another moron whose life consists of jerking off and getting high.
What the hell is going on? I cried.
This is what our sacrifices for, he screamed, startling me.
My family has been up here for 400 years, reading dusty books and painting stupid signals on intersecting laylines.
And why?
So you losers can post TikTok videos?
I mean, it was one thing when it was all about keeping the army of miners and loggers safe.
But now it's just, it's just momentum or inertia that keeps us up here.
Some stupid tradition.
And for what?
And one little slip-up, a few dead kids, and no one will forget about it.
about our failure as a family, when it's us who are putting ourselves on the line.
I watched my father go mad over those missing kids, and now.
The energy drained from James, his long, winding rant, coming to a sudden halt.
He looked at his father with grief and resignation.
He couldn't live with the guilt, but I don't think he ever had anything to feel guilty over.
He didn't make this place evil.
he just helped keep it in check.
It's always been waiting, ready to burst.
It's so, it's so eager.
You just put flesh in the right place and, boom, it all just comes tumbling out.
Well, you saw what happened.
No words of power, no cursed runes, just two girls in the right place and,
and my intent to feed them to the darkness.
James, I said, I don't know what the hell.
hell you're on about, but if you're saying there's a way, some rituals or magic we can do
to reverse this, just tell me what to do.
There's a library on the third floor, he said.
You can read up on the rituals there.
You'll have the time.
What?
I cried.
What do you mean?
Hasn't it occurred to you why you haven't died yet?
He said, his face screwing up into a condescending smirk.
Are you for real?
He burst out laughing.
Jesus, you really are something special.
Oh man, I'm glad I picked you.
Remember that when the survivor's guilt kicks in.
The trapdoor behind me flew open as if struck from below.
I cried out and began to back away.
My heart beating so hard,
it felt like it was going to stutter and fail
and I would fall to my knees, gasping for air and life.
One of those disgusting arms reached up through the opening,
and with little hesitation or messing around, the monstrous meat thing dragged itself up.
James was laughing, his demeanor, borderline hysterical.
A lot of worlds intersect here.
He cried out as one of those hands grout to my ankle and pulled me to the ground with a single gesture.
I started screaming and found myself unable to tear my gaze away from the monster that pulled me closer to its face.
But James was still there, taunting and lesteading and.
laughing. I've got a lot of places to pick from, a lot of worlds to see. Maybe one day we'll
speak again. The good news. And as he said this, he crouched over me so that I could not escape
his glare. Is that I know exactly where to find you? Don't forget to chlorinate the pool,
by the way. Oh, and try to keep the overlapping realities separate. This one isn't even that bad.
you just have to be patient
but some of the others
I mean
well you saw the message on that tree stump
isn't even the half of it
after that
he left with a little ceremony
although I'm still not sure
where or how he got out of the spire
he just abandoned me
with that thing
that desperate heaving
whining thing that pulled me close
until it towered over me
and I finally came to terms with the fact
that I would die.
With terrible slowness, it lowered its enormous head down to within an inch of my own,
and I saw the gill-like openings on its face quiver and vibrate,
as spit dripped down onto my nose and cheeks.
An inch forward once more, and pressed the broken skin against my entire face,
and I felt those strange holes puckered and twitch.
Suddenly, it took me up into its arms and hugged me.
its oversized arms trapping me like steel bars against the pink sweaty chest
it held me there quivering giggling crying and muttering to itself for hours
the whole goddamn night i nearly went insane kicking and crying to be let go
but it held me like some twisted mother until finally morning came
and it just disappeared into nothingness like the
shadows once had. Since then, I found myself surprisingly alone. This town pretends that this
place isn't real, and that extends to whatever poor soul is left up here. When I tried walking
out to here, the cops picked me up and brought me right back. Sometimes, an older man will
answer my calls when I tried to ring my family. He doesn't answer my questions. He just
tells me to do my job. I think I was set up from the start.
I think James told them about his plans to stick the job on me, long before he bugged off.
Although, I don't think anyone knew it was his plan to send half the town's teenagers to a slaughterhouse.
Then again, I can't be sure.
No one will speak to me anymore.
First night after the party, and those hands came back.
But like James implied, they just left me alone.
Still, it wasn't exactly fun, so I did what he suggested.
and hit the library.
It took weeks to find some of the stuff he was on about,
but sure enough,
a couple words and a few symbols in the right place,
and they went away.
Of course, every day after that
was a lesson in some new perverse horror.
It's been a year or two since then,
and I don't think I've touched the surface
on what the hell is going on here.
This isn't the life-calling I had in mind.
at least the father had detailed notes
that helped speed things up
they were these quick guides on things to write or say
and they helped keep it quiet
or quietish at least
I think what I hate the most
is that over time
I've started to sympathise with James
despicable monster that he is
he may have put me here
but it's that town
that won't let me leave
they're the ones that made this arrangement
But for some reason, I'm the one who has to pay.
