Summary

Here are three stories that don't quite fit into the mold of those previously offered. 1. mountains 2. castle 3. solitude Music: Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ ..... Many people have been thoroughly creeped out by the show's avatar--what IS that thing looking at us? Well, we finally have an answer, provided by 11-year-old Ethien Duckett. His story below is entitled "Ratbat." Talk about economy of storytelling! One cold rainy night I saw a rat I picked it up with no idea what to do with it. As I came home a bat flew into a net beside my door. I grabbed it and took them both inside. Thinking what to do with them was hard, then I thought about the sewer. I quickly threw them in the toilet. Then a beam of light came out of my toilet. I then realized something was going to happen just then a portal from another dimension threw a potion down the toilet and transformed them both into a ratbat. You wouldn’t like to meet a ratbat. They are hideous, monstrous things that shouldn’t exist. They look like a slice of moldy bread with teeth, the strange thing is that they have no wings to fly with. Sadly they have no feet so they can’t run, but they can teleport. If a rat bat gets on you stop, drop and roll, or else your hair will get turned into a mop with a stick on top. Ratbat likes to laugh at people with mops on their head. Ratbat laughs “Rahhhaa” each and every time he sees a mop-head. I was trying to catch that ratbat in the net, then he teleported on the mayor’s hair and turned it into a mop. The mayor was freaking out and pulled out a ray gun, blasting everything except ratbat. Everyone’s mop hair was on fire it was total mayhem. Just then ratbat made a black-hole and everyone was put in a parallel jail dimension. While some tried to shout I decided to use my mop stick to make a ladder and climb out. Ratbat was sleeping safe and sound. I took a stick of my ladder and whacked it with my stick. Oh no it was a decoy the real one was behind me, I pulled out a laser gun and attached it to my stick right as he teleported I shot the portal and trapped him inside the portal forever.

0:00.0	Though not exactly knife point horror, I thought listeners might like this very loose semi improvised trilogy of scary stories,
0:14.0	which were recorded just as a little thank you to all the people who have written to me about the podcast.
0:21.0	Hope you like them.
0:30.0	I'm a writer by trade, a struggling one, but a writer and sometimes when the writer's block comes,
0:51.0	the only thing I know to do to really fix it is to go camping completely isolate myself and just hack through it
0:59.0	out of my tent, do some hiking, clear my head.
1:03.0	I had one of these little adventures just two months ago.
1:09.0	What I did was I took the weekend and I drove down Skyline Drive in Northern Virginia into Shenandoah National Park,
1:19.0	just basically with my fairly nice one man tent, intending to stay Saturday and Sunday.
1:25.0	I like to be as far away from people as possible but still and have some sort of contact.
1:30.0	So he's take my fully charged cell phone.
1:34.0	And this weekend I drove down and I stopped at one of the ranger stations to get a backwards map.
1:41.0	As I was talking to the ranger a little bit, a friend of his was there in the little shack with him and he was kind of obsessed with something on his phone.
1:51.0	I asked him what was going on and he said there had been a murderer, a body had been found just eight miles south of the park in a little town called Slumber,
2:01.0	which I'd actually come through to get gas.
2:05.0	He said it was especially grizzly. He was talking about they found a decapitated body.
2:10.0	It seemed kind of kind of darkly excited in a way. This horrible thing had happened so close.
2:17.0	Anyway, I got my backwards map and I left that place and I drove about another four miles down the road until it went from a single lane to becoming unpaved to becoming not a whole lot more than just a double line of tire routes.
2:40.0	Very grassy and overgrown and at some point I turned off one about a hundred yards into the woods over the grass to a place that wasn't quite an official backwards sight,
2:55.0	but it was close enough, very grassy and lots of trees around, very isolated.
3:04.0	As dark fell, I pitched my little tent, took my laptop and all my laptop batteries out of the back seat. I had plenty of juice.
3:14.0	I made myself a little dinner, made myself a little fire, and then I went into my tent.
