Coming soon: The rules momma made
(and by soon, I mean fuck if I know, but I thought of this, and I don't want it to die in my mind)(find it under my TRMM tag)
Rule 1. If your car breaks down on the driveway, especially near the old rotting tree, get every living animal out, and walk to the house.
Rule 2. If you hear a giggling child in the forest, ignore it, and keep on your way. If you hear a child screaming, crying, begging for help, or all of the above, run.
Rule 3. Acknowledge the figures in the field, they are our neighbors. Do not talk to the figures in the field.
Rule 4. Do not enter the field, and,heaven and hell help you if you do, do NOT enter the field at night.
Rule 5. Don't question why the field looks like summer, even in heavy snow. That question will be answered.
Rule 6. If you find a food item that was bad last time you saw it, and is now in peak condition, thank them, and throw it out.
Rule 7. If you wake up, and feel like something is watching you, don't acknowledge it, either go back to sleep, or do what you need to do.
Rule 8. If you wake up, and feel like something is standing over you while you sleep, do not open your eyes, do not get up. You can roll over, and slightly adjust, but that's it.
Rule 9. If you hear a noise in the house at night, even if you think you know who it is, stay in the room you are in, and hold your breath till you either pass out, or the noise stops.
Rule 10. If you aren't supposed to know it, do not pry.
Kamby lived her life, alone, in a farmhouse. She never farms, but, well, see rule 5, and understand that it no longer is a place to farm. She continually turns down buyers, even if her land could make her billions. Whole lot of good that would do a dead woman.
However, her latest nuisance, a reporter named Philip Reyman, is interested in her property. Phil is there, as he is compiling stories of various haunted locations across the globe.
He doesn't quite believe the ghost stories, but he does like them. Even as a child, he'd constantly read ghost stories, and watched horror movies, wanting to visit every place. So, obviously, getting to do his childhood dream, and write about it, well, he couldn't say no fast enough to get to do this.
However, he isn't the type to follow the rules, and Kamby isn't the type to let rule breakers in. Either way, there are many ways to find the stories behind the rules. Even if you have to break the last one.
