My real identity makes no difference. As a hitchhiker the risk was always mine to take when accepting a ride with a stranger. I had no family and moved from place to place. I'm sure I was never even missed by anyone. Now I am a prisoner of the insane doctor. I have been here for several days and have seen no one. But I've heard horrible screams. I know he will come for me soon. Day 10 This cell is horrible. There are no windows. The walls are cold rust that drip with water. The smell of decay is overwhelming. The only light is a dim flickering torchlight from under my cell door. My only company are the rats and spiders and other crawling creatures that live in this cell. I have finally begun to eat the food that is slid into my cell. I either eat it or die. It moves in my hands as I place it into my mouth. I have learned to chew quickly to kill whatever it is before swallowing it. Day 40 The experiments the doctor performed on myself and the others are horrible. I survived, the others didn't. Their body parts were placed in various vats and containers. Their brains were opened and parts were removed. I hear the doctor coming back! Day ? I don't know how long I've been here, but long enough to finally grasp what the mad doctor is doing. He is attempting to clone a human. But his experiments are gruesome and ghastly failures. The clones grow with arms and legs growing from their heads, and their eyes coming from their mouths. Parts of me have been used, so they are like my brothers I suppose. Day ? Something horrible has happened to the doctor. When I awoke from being drugged I saw what was left of him in a vat. Only his head was in the vat, but being kept alive. The cloned creatures had overpowered him obviously and now are experimenting on him. Good riddance! But what will they do to me? Day ? Where to begin...I am free of the laboratory and my cell. It was destroyed last night. Halloween night! Everything was vaporized by a huge explosion. The walls of the cell I was in crumbled away and I somehow avoided being crushed by the avalanche of falling rock walls. I have chosen to hide in this cave for now. Several horrible cloned creatures survived and they are looking for me I'm sure. I have learned that a certain chemical in my brain was instrumental in creating them. They need to get me back as they need to be supplemented by my brain chemicals. They need to keep me alive, my brain is no good if I am killed. However I suspect if caught they will remove my brain and keep it alive as they kept the doctors head alive. I will have to change my hiding places often. Day ? I live in the woods and seek shelter in the cemetery crypts when the weather is bad. I have seen my reflection in puddles of water and I am a monster. The demons that survived have begun experimenting again. They will have the most power on Halloween. Especially this halloween. Day ? There is only one that can help. This person cannot remember what happened last Halloween. But they have nightmares every night -- I know, I sneak into the room when I know the demons are out searching for that person. I stand guard. The demons had found a way to capture souls, but the souls were clever and found a safe place to hide that the demons could not enter. It is under the water with no apparent way in. But I suspect the entryway is located somewhere in the cemetery. A long time ago a private investigator was very close to the answer, but he was killed by the doctor. Day ? It is now October. I have discovered something very sinister in the woods. One of the demons has nearly discovered the formula the doctor had been attempting to stablize. Each one of the doctors cloned creatures began to disintegrate slowly but surely within a few months. But this creature has slowed the process, although not completely. It needs blood and brain matter to stop the decay process. If the souls in the cave fall under his power they will do his bidding and bring many more victims to him. He needs to be stopped. Halloween is only a few days away, the demons powers are growing. HALLOWEEN It is Halloween today and may be the last entry made. I will do what I can to stop the Halloween demons but to be successful I will need help. I hope the other will join me. If we succeed I will be able to forget the past and make a new life for myself here -- in these woods. It has become home to me. I will remain here and guard these woods and the cemetery to make sure the demons cannot continue their mischief. Halloween is full of ghosts and ghouls and I will make sure they return to where they belong after the night is over. As a child my mother would sing me a lullaby. It was the BOOGEYMAN SONG. Sadly, I have become him. I have written the words to the song HERE. This is the end of my story -- for now. The Boogeyman Song ___________________ † FRIGHTBYTES HOME Copyright © 1998-2013 M.
