I'm Being Hunted

Chapter 2: The Forest and Its Folklore

I got up in the morning, and decided to cook some breakfast before I have to leave. This is my way of apologizing to Maddie about my exploration. I didn’t want to leave her all upset. I decided on bacon, eggs, and toast. Something that is nice and simple, and the way she likes it. After I got the food done, I went to wake her up. When she saw me, she was shocked, as I would usually be gone by now. I don’t like being stuck behind traffic, so I would usually go very early, but I didn’t want to leave her just yet. I felt like I’ve upset her last night and wanted to make up first then go. We finally finished eating, and I got dressed. I triple made sure everything was packed, before going to bed, so I can just get on the road.

I was finally on the road. I love road trips, as they can be relaxing. Whenever I go on one, I feel so free from responsibilities. I guess this is why, I feel recharged already.

*****

Its been a 47 minutes, and I decided to stop at Newport, Tennessee to gas up and refill my drinks and snacks. This also gives me a chance to stretch my legs. After a couple minutes, I was back on the road, planning to stop in Ashville, North Carolina.

*****

I’ve traveled 1 hour and 18 minutes, since my last stop in Newport, Tennessee. I’ve finally arrived in Ashville and it’s such a beautiful city. I also had to go to the bathroom, so I stopped at a rest area. I also wanted to talk to some people, and ask them about the creature that would be in the forest. I walked up to someone who seems to be some sort of ranger.

“Hey, I just came from Knoxville, Tennessee and I wanted to go camping in Pisgah National Forest, but I also wanted to know about the creature that is said to be in there,” I ask him. He looked at me and nodded his head.

“Of course, well we call it the HideBehind. It likes to hide behind trees and stalk humans. So, please be careful,” he told me. I was a little disheartened at the lack of more information about the creature, but I know they don’t really exist. So, I just got back into my car, and drove off. My next stop would be Old Fort, North Carolina, and it would be my last stop before I get to the forest.

*****

After 28 minutes I made it to Old Fort, and I stopped for a quick late lunch. My legs are hurting for being in the car for so long, but I’m almost to my destination. Judging my calculations, I should be at my destination in about twenty minutes from it.

*****

After twenty minutes, I finally made to where we have to park our cars and walk the rest of the way. I walked on the trail, to find a good place to set up camp. I decided to go ahead and video tape my journey to where I find a good place. It wasn’t until twenty minutes into my hike, that I felt like I was being watched. Though, I just wrote it down as an animal showing a little bit of interest in me. Another twenty minutes, I finally found the perfect place to set up camp. I also made sure to surround my camp with mothball, for I read that it’ll keep wildlife away. I put my firearms where I’ll be able to reach. I also decided to go ahead and make a fire to eat and read before going to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a whole day of exploration, and to see if the HideBehind is real.

I'm Being Hunted

Chapter 1: The Planning

For all of last week, I have been planning my next exploration. I've decided to go to Pisgah Forest in North Carolina. I've actually never been to North Carolina, and I've always wanted to go, but I hear about other places that I decided to wait on that. I've also done some research on the place and could see that there is some folklore about some creature, called the HideBehind. I decided to do some research on it, and I got chills running up and down my spine. The creature likes to stalk their prey for a while, before attacking. They tend to hide behind trees, just out of the corner of your eyes. They quickly hide themselves if you attempt to make direct eye contact. I really don't like the whole stalking thing, but it's just folklore. The only thing I need to do is tell my fiancé, Maddison, that I'll be going. I'm also going to offer if she wanted to come as well. To be quite honest, I don't know what I'll do without her, she's, my rock. Especially when I lost job last year.

       I heard the door to the apartment open, and I knew that my love has finally arrived. I know how she doesn't like me going to these explorations alone, but no one else likes doing this type of things like I do, but I've reassured her that I'm always prepared. I walked out of our shared room and walked up to her. She looked at me with the most beautiful smile, which slipped when she noticed my face. She knew what I was going to say before I've even opened up my mouth.

       "I do not like this face of yours, it means it's time for another exploration," she told me, while sighing in exasperation. I had to hold in my laugh, or it’ll be the couch for me tonight.

       “I’m afraid so, my love,” I announced to her, smiling at her actions, “it’s going to be at Pisgah Forest, in North Carolina. It’s just a two-hour long drive.”

       “I guess that is fine, but please be careful,” she expressed to me, which made me walk up to her and hug her in reassurance. She hugged back, though it was like she was clinging onto me. I hate doing this to her, but I’m an adventurous person, who likes to experience things that life offer. I also find it recharging, both mentally and physically. It’s like I become a new person when I explore.

       “I also wanted to ask if you wanted to come,” I inquired, even though I know she wouldn’t want to come, as she doesn’t like doing anything that have to the outside, even hiking, but I wanted her to know that she is invited to come along.

       “No, thank you,” she declared, jumping away from me with this playful smile. She may not like these things, but she always loves to know that I’ll always try to include her in my activities, unlike her family. I hate to hear what they did to her.

       “Okay love,” I said, matching her smile with one of my own, “but I won’t be back for two weeks.”

       She nodded her head at this, already knowing the normal for me. It’s not a long time to explore everything there, but I still have a life with her and a job. After the talk, we decided to have take-out days and spend as much time together, before I leave in the morning. We also settled to make sure we are caught up in our favorite show. Later, we finally went to bed, cuddling just talking for a while. Then the darkness of sleep hit me.

New Story

I'm creating an original story, but don't worry. I'm still going to work on The Traumatized Omega. This is just to keep my creative mind working. I just wanted to ask if you guys wanted to read the original story. The only thing that won't be mine would be the cryptid that is featured in the story. I also want to work on this story to be published, but wanted to see if people will actually read it. Here is the description of the story:

Derrek Mates tells his fiance, Maddison Hotchner, that in two days he's going to go explore the Pisgah Forest in North Carolina. He loves exploring around the world, and since it is just a two-hour drive, he decided to go there. Though, soon he will find that it would all turn into a nightmare, for something is stalking him.

What could it be?

The cryptid has been a folklore since the 1920s.

Weird Urban Myths I Think Would Fit Well in Fallout 76

The Beta for Fallout 76 started tonight! Well on Xbox anyway, with the games focus on urban myths and legends to provide interesting encounters and locations I thought it’d be fun to share a couple I personally know of and think would make for some fun additions to exploring Appalachia!(Though given the Beta is the full game, I guess we’ll find out I’m blatantly wrong about this any minute now)

Melonheads:

Pretty much every image I could find of drawings of the Melonheads just looked like weird monsters from a Troma movie, so instead just imagine them attacking you on this vaguely spooky forest road!

Melonheads are a really bizarre urban legend that would fit in surprisingly well with the general themes and style of Fallout.  Purportedly borderline feral people that live in the woods, the general idea of Melonheads is they have some kind of mutation from radiation poisoning.  What does that sound like? Oh right, pretty much every other enemy in the Fallout series!  They probably wouldn’t be any different from feral ghouls, but a model swap to these weird, backwoods urban legends seems like something that could add some fun, if strange variety to that particular type of enemies(Kind of like the weird swamp people from Point Lookout). Imagine a horde of these weird legends swarming out of a cornfield to attack you!(I know this has nothing to with west Virginia, but the story I can remember the best about them, was that they, for some reason, attack from Corn)

Bunnyman:

I’d expect them to put a tunnel that’s just painted onto the side of a wall before they actually did this story, but like a guy dream alright?

Come on, this one could easily work right?  I know they’ve made a big deal out of there being no human NPC’s in Fallout 76 but all we need is one!  The legend of Bunnyman is such a simple one, it’s every holiday themed slasher movie plot combined into one until all that’s left is a crazy guy with an axe wearing a pink bunny costume for no reason.  According to the legend he stalks around a certain bridge in the backwoods and waits for people to enter the narrow tunnel beneath it so they can’t escape.  It’s about as valid in real life as HOOK HAND CAR DOOR, but imagine wandering into the tunnel in game only for a ghoul wearing a pink bunny suit start waling on you with an axe from behind, it’d sure scare the hell out of me real good!
