Midnight Sorrow (Short Story)
Midnight Sorrow
Roh
🤫 Shhhh, did you hear that?...Listen carefully honey ......................
Roh
😡 Shut up and stop laughing you moron! I mean it!
* 🦗 chirping *
The outdoor setting grew colder and more silent as they focus on listening through out the night of their hunting session.
Roh
😯 You swear honey, you didn't hear anything?
With an annoyed look on his face Tony replied to Roh.
Tony
😒 With such big ears like yours. You can hear rats sexing a mile away. Stop asking me and use those Dumbo's ear to actually listen for animals footsteps, will you.
Tony
Why else did you think I agreed on letting you tag along with me. To listen for me.
Tony
You know I have bad hearings and you still ask me... stupid girl 🙄
He donks Roh on her head to make her come to a realization.
Roh
😒 You're such a jerk. Fine! I'll keep an ear out for you. I'll give you 20 more minutes. It's getting late and I want to go home already.
As the night grew longer, darker and colder. The fog began to sit in with cold mist. Both of them lying belly down. Hopping for a prey to fall into their trap that they've set up. They continued to lay in the cold wet puddle.
Roh
😖 Ahhh, there's something crawling in my boots! . Get it out. Get it out! 🕷
Tony looked at the spider and exclaimed.
Tony
🙄 Sheesh, you crybaby. It's just a bug, scariedy cat.
* 🌲branches crackle *
They both listened to the sound of branches breaking. Diverting their eyes to where the noise is coming from.Peering into the darkness their eyes widen. Following a mysterious dark shadow crawling toward their trap. Suddenly their net was triggered and the trap fell down upon their prey. They grinned and smirked at each other as they started walking hastily toward the trap. They continued to approach the trap as they watched the shadow of the prey scattering about, trying to escape . They nudged at each other and chuckled with excitement. Proud of their catch. Then Tony's hand suddenly stopped Roh across her chest . He turned to her with a worried expression.
Roh, confused with the sudden halt. Stopped and stared at the trap. Concern with the look on Tony's face. They stood there in silence watching the trap as it's movements stopped.
The dark shadow slowly rised, floating slightly off the ground. It was no animal or bird. The image before them floats a tall human figure. Tony panicked, with a startled tone in his voice.
Tony
Stay quiet ... it might not of have notice us.
Roh
Shouldn't we help? If it's a person trapped in there?
With furious eyes Tony looked directly into her eyes.
Tony
What human would be crawling in the middle of the night out of no where in the first place !
Scared out of his soul. He continues to observe the floating dark image.
Tony
Look... can't you see. It's not touching the ground. It's just floating there.
Roh
I'm going to go check, like it or not. Maybe it just looks like it's floating because the ground is so dark.
Tony
No! Let's watch a bit longer. Let's not get it's attention.
They stood in silence monitoring the dark shadow. Minutes later the sound of a lady weeping echoed through the forest .It echoed and ringed like an errie instrument. Sending chills down their spines.
At this moment Tony is thinking of the option to run. In disbelief of this abnormal occurrence he knew then and there they were messing with something extraordinary out of this world.
Tony grabbed his gun and positioned himself along with his long ranged snipper.Looking through the focus lense. He stalked the shadow. He grasped on to the trigger ready to fire. When a sudden movement from the shadow turned directly at him. Tony was paralyzed at the frighten sight, he couldn't pull the trigger.
Roh
Honey... this doesn't feel right.
Roh's voice brought him back to reality. What he saw glaring at him was not like any human form. No longer procrastinating. Tony pulled the trigger with a loud " Bang! " Tony scared out of his wits grabbed Roh's hand and started to make a run to their car that was parked afar. The figure let out a screeching sharp cry. The dark figure forcefully jolted up and flung the net aside. Flying directly at them with full fierce speed.
Tony
Hurry! It's not safe h..here....
Roh's View
We were nowhere near our car. I turned in fear looking at Tony running beside me to see him mouthing something to me. It was then. What I saw felt so unreal. A dark shadow of aura surrounding his entire body like it was going to devour him whole. Before I can warn him. I watched him stumbled to the ground and took a heavy impact.
Roh's View
The world went silences. Everything stopped before my eyes. Flashes of memories of us ran through my mind. His bright smile , how he laughs.Everytime he's bullied me out of love. Gone ... all gone. I collapsed to my knees. Before everything starts moving in motion again the sound of ringing lingered in my ear.
Roh's View
I suddenly pulled him agasint my chest. Everything happened so fast. I couldn't grasp what had happened. I couldn't see within that split second. In my arms, layed Tony sprewing blood from his mouth ..............
Roh
No, no, no, no, no, god no.
She moaned and sobbed. Her heart weighing a ton and aching. Her breath shortening as she cried alone in the dark forest. Holding onto Tony tightly. She rocked him back and forth in hope it would comfort him. Was he in a lot of pain she wondered as she saw the bloods gushing out his chest. Trying to close the open wound that was inflicted to his chest. Roh tapped on Tony cheeks to try to wake him.
Roh
Please, please, please hold on a bit longer. I..I love you...so much!
She pleaded and plead for him to awake. Drenched in his blood. She turned to the dark shadow lingering above them.
Roh
You monster! You b*tch!
She sat holding Tony tightly against her chest. She shouted and demanded furiously no longer in fear.
Roh
YOU! BRING HIM BACK TO ME NOW!
The shadow figure approached Roh with it's nails sharp like blades. It ran it's filthy bloody fingers with Tony's blood stains through her hair. Roh glance into the eyes of the monster only to look into a hollow of nothing.
She sat hopelessly rocking him back and forth gently as she kissed him on his forehead.
She asked herself over and over again. Frustrated, Roh grabbed onto the monster filthy hand, yanked it downward toward her. She gazed into the monster hollow eyes and whispered to it out of breath.
Roh
I'll do anything. Take me instead please .......
She then gasped for air and shouted at it.
Roh
TAKE ME! TAKE ME YOU STU..PID......
*Blood splattered*
Roh's heart was ripped out of her chest. She collapsed onto Tony's lifeless body that she held so close to her. She felt so warm and safe lying on him. She felt his love and his comfort. As she rest her head on Tony's chest. She attempts to hug him one last time. In her dying raspy voice....
* Lightly: Ba dump, Ba dump *
Friend

Tony
Ah, something small. ( let's it free )
Friend

Tony Looking at a far distance in the forest.
Tony
Most things are better left alone and set free.
Friend
I don't know why you want to come to " Wolf Creek" ? You know we are walking in a graveyard right? There's local rumors speard that this land mark use to be held as a human hunting ground for pleasure amongst the rich back in the old days.
Friend
Peasants & slaves were captured and scattered around like wild animals trying to survive. While the hostess hunts them down like a game for their own amusement and pleasure. It's sick! I heard these souls holds a lot of resentments and that they still linger in the woods crying at their pity lives.
Friend
It is also said that if you sacrifice something important to you. Your wish may come true. Supposely these souls praised those who do sacrifices that's why you hear all about these cults & witchcrafts coming here doing scary messed up rituals shit
Friend

Friend
