Maine Gothic
You've known the people in this town for your entire life. And yet, you still don't know any of them
The trees are your friends. They remember your face, and they remember your family. Do not lose this friendship.
The bugs that flit around your head will sometimes whisper in your ear. Try to ignore them, it's better for you
The trees are your friends, but whatever stands between them are not.
The local store on the corner isn't there at night. It knows what comes with the darkness. You should follow it's example
There's a bear just outside your door. You hope it's a bear. You pray to a god that you don't believe in, that it's just a bear.
The lakes will swallow you whole if you're not careful. Never go near them without precautions, and never ever go near them at night
Your town is being modernized. Nicer houses, more roads, new chain stores. The trees are not happy.
You notice something on the shore of the lake. You look a bit closer. It's everything you've ever lost, from your old phone to a few pencils to your childhood innocence. You want it back, you almost go. But you know, deep inside, that it's a trick from the lake
The trees were your friends. You don't know what changed their mind
The lakes look so pretty today, and the air is so hot. Maybe a swim would be nice… but you know better
The local store on the corner isn't there anymore, even in the daytime. It's been replaced with a Dunkin Donuts.
The employees of the Dunkin Donuts never look at you. They speak in hushed tones and you can never quite understand them. You've never seen the same one twice.
You're visiting your grandmother's house, but you're not sure how or when you got there. It smells of wood, decay, and blueberry muffins
The trees have forgotten your face, and they have forgotten your family. You plead but they do not respond.
