Halloween - Campground of Horrors - Part One

In honour of Halloween…

Campground of Horrors. 

Part One.

A campfire roared. Circling, sat a group of high school kids. It was almost the end of the school year, almost time to graduate, and to celebrate, they had planned a camping trip. 

Beyond the kids, were set up several tents.

They had had to hike in from the parking lot, about two miles away, but they had managed to bring coolers with food and a variety of beverages.

Jonathan had his guitar and was strumming a few others sang softly, the lyrics to American Pie.  It was beginning to get late, and some couples had already broken off to go to bed.

Jessica and Jordan were the first to break off. They had been seeing each other since junior high and were very much in love.  Randall and Riannah had only met a few months ago, but here eager to get to know each other better.

Jonathan, and Kyle linger by the fire, singing, hoping to hook up with Paulina and Franny.

The night was quiet, except for the soft strumming of the guitar, and the crackling of the fire.

Suddenly, a blood curdling scream startles the group.

Panicked, the kids buy the fire, jump to their feet to see what had happened.

Jessica, covered in blood, shaking runs to them from her tend.

“He’s Dead!” she screams. “He’s dead.”

Kyle runs to her side, just as she collapses.

Flash lights in hand, Jonathan and Franny hurry to Jessica and Jordan’s tent.

They find it ripped to shreds blood splattered, and the disfigured torso of what must have been Jordan.

Back at the fire Paulina, and Kyle tend to Jessica.

Jonathan and Franny hurry back to the fire.

“Looks like some wild animal got Jordan” Jonathan explains. “Something big, tore right through the tent.”

Franny looks around at the group. “Where are Randall and Riannah?”

Kyle calls for them, but there is no answer.

He shines a flashlight in the direction of their tent, they see signs of possible rips.

The approach with caution, calling for them as they do, still no answer.

Johnathan unzips the tent and shines the light…

More blood and body parts.

The group recoil in horror. Paulina begins to sob.

They gather once again near the fire.

“We’ve got to get out of here” Jonathan states what they are all thinking. 

“We can’t get out until morning, there’s no way.” Kyle remarks

“What did that” Franny asks, “What could do that?”

The group discuss their options and try to figure out how they’ll make it through the night.

…

Tune in tomorrow for Part two.

Happy Halloween,

Cheers and good night.
