Songs Recommended: In The Woods Somewhere by Hozier
There was a beast that lurked in the woods, a beast so horrifying that your own town had taken a page from the villages that stood where you once stood. They were set on sending up sacrifices to the beast just to keep it satisfied every full moon when it would awaken.
You would watch as those who were randomly selected go up the mountains with a few farm animals in tow only to never see them again.
Every bar and tavern in your town was filled with hunters every lunar cycle, planning on trapping the beast and finally ending its reign of terror.
But they were never successful.
People were outright refusing to do a single thing, most packing up and leaving or purposely getting pregnant just so they won’t have to go up to the beast’s lair.
But you stayed. Something compelled you to stay but you don’t know what.
But as you sat there in the bar, drinking next to one of your friends, you knew why.
You turned to him as he set his empty glass on the wooden counter and raised an eyebrow at him.
Not even one minute you two had gotten your beer, and his was already inside of him, leaving his glass slippery and bare.
