Fabulous! In the Allegheny mountains of Pennsylvania where I grew up there are places and creatures like this. The ancient and sentient forest tries them on like costumes. It’s got a bitter sense of humor. This story felt eerily like home.
A powerful bit of creep. "Three strangers on a road passing." I love the shuff-shuffle-shuffle of it all. Also, is that Feathers? It's gotta be, right? With the hawk and the stick-- ah, doesn't matter! Great story, Sean!

Ohh I love this take so much! Glad you liked it, Liz! Thanks! ❤️
I liked the story and I have to say the dialogue felt so authentic. Thank you for sharing.
I also have a personal question I wanted to ask, I left it inbox, when you have time please check it out.
Thank you! I appreciate that! I'll check my DMs.
this is so sinister and weird. it’s a perfect horror story.
Thank you, EJ! ❤️ High praise.
I didn't see the ending coming, Sean Thomas. The man who passed by was a clever misdirection.
Thank you! It was a fun story to write. :))
Delish!
Thank you, Jessica! ❤️

Ken! It was Feathers! I now have three different stories with this killer. :)) Good eye!
Captivating storytelling. The myth-building is so strong in this piece. And tbe Pangea scab bit made me jealous.
Thank you, Jon! ❤️
I felt like I was there and now I’m glad that I’m not. Great work, Sean. Bravo!
Thank you, Nick! I appreciate that! ❤️
This is succulent in its awfulness. hot and heavy with blood and a baking sun. the child...so pure sinister and perfect innocent bad.
this vibe is CLASSIC STMcD. 👏👏👏
Very mountains of Virginia, too. Loved it.
Thank you, Elizabeth! These things must be lurking all over the country! 😱
I think I'm turning into one.
Goddamn dude. That last line.
Chomp!
Whoa! What a gem of a story, Sean. That final line is so unexpected and so very perfect.
Good one!
