Speaker 1 (00:01):
Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems,
in a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams.
For the story that you were about to be told
took place in the holiday worlds of old. Now you've
probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven't, I'd
(00:22):
say it's time you begun. It was Halloween night. I
could hear the opening lyrics to that Burden classic as
soon as I stepped on Rylan Aldrich's front porch. I
had just been dropped off by my parents at the
front gate of his community, and was sure I was
underdressed as a ninja. A nearby mummy decoration popped up
(00:46):
from its candy display and cackled, giving me a healthy
jump scare. When I rang the doorbell, It's going to
be a good night. He opened the door with a
comb of his hair and half of it streaked with
white dye fake fangs and his and a bit of
goop dripping from his lips. Deck you're early, I was
just getting ready, he said, waving me in. The decorations
(01:08):
were a bit more toned down inside the little jack
a lantern, lights strung up in odd places, few skull candles,
The TV was blaring some old classic monster movie, and
he reached for the remote before tossing it to me.
Make yourself comfortable, I gotta get the stupid die cooperate. Thanks. Nope,
but not too early. We were supposed to go pick
up Jesse, but our plans got canceled, I told him,
(01:30):
as he went back to his small hallway bathroom. Ah,
I suck. She won't make it, huh, he shouted as
I switched his TV over to Hulu. I looked at
pictures of his family nearby, thinking it'd been too long
since I had seen them. Yeah, I had to take
her little. I paused as I realized my choice of
words and pretended to forget what I was saying. So
(01:52):
who else is supposed to show up? I asked him
as I opened the door and screamed this time actually
jumped when a prop skeleton fell out. I heard it
laughter from the other room, and I screamed, and he
stuck his head out of the hallway to see my face.
That's what you deserve, he told me with another belly laughed.
Shit man, I muttered, reaching around the prop to grab
one of his dad's beers. Are there any other traps
(02:13):
I need to be aware of. Am I gonna get
a mouse trap on my hand if I reach in
the cookie jar? Considering the bad blood that had been
between us, I wasn't gonna put anything past him. The
doorball rang just as I cracked open the core's light,
and Rylan responded, Now where's the fun in that? Hey?
Can you grab the door? I sipped the cold beer
as I opened it, try my best to remain cool
(02:35):
when I saw his girlfriend, Daisy Simmons standing there, looking
sexy as hell in a devil costume, holding a few snacks. Daisy, Hey,
Ryland's in the back well. Are you gonna let me in?
She said irritably. I nodded and put my beer down
to help her with the food. As I pushed the door, Ajar,
(02:55):
Ryland gave me the wrong damn key code for your neighborhood,
she whined, tugging him out of the bathroom. Jesus, Babe,
I didn't know they would change the geate code to night,
he apologized as he pushed his faith fangs into his mouth,
and then the two briefly kissed. It wasn't a short peck,
but it wasn't too long to make me uncomfortable. That's
fine once I got it open, I wrote that damn
(03:16):
thing on the device for anyone else, she said. Ryland
gave her a look of disbelief. Uh, babe, that's only
supposed to be for residents, he told her. She shrugged
and grabbed the beer I had set down to take
a sip. Really fine, Hey, Dex, can you help Val
get the stuff out of my trunk? I nodded, put
the bag of chips down on his counter to go
help her sister. Ryland's gated community was starting to get
(03:38):
a trickle of cars in thanks to Daisy's unintentional assistance.
Even as I walked towards her equinox, a sports car
was squeezing in the cul de sac for parking. It
looked overly familiar. Hey, I'm trying to get my trunk open,
I heard Val say, as the new car bumped a
little too close for comfort and dropped off her which hat.
(04:00):
She used her sister's keys to click open the hatch
and gave me an awkward smile. Sorry you had to
see that, decks. I guess this costume kind of fits me, huh,
I chuckled as I helped her grab stuff from the trunk.
Maybe people learn manners, you wouldn't need to worry about
the costume, I commented, loud enough for the driver of
the other vehicle to hear. I was also trying to
get a good look at the driver, but couldn't see
(04:22):
for sure who it was. Must see my imagination, I thought.
I picked up the food that was the heaviest and
told her to stack as much as she could in
my arms, my eyes lingering on something in the bottom
of her items. Luiji board really, I said, skeptically, as
Val put the board game on top of my stack,
specifically requested by our host. Took me forever to find
(04:44):
the thing I haven't played with one of these years,
she said. I followed her back inside the house, where
I just saw that a few other people had somehow
made it insigne. While we were unloading. The TV was
now up cranked to eleven with some pop music, and
Rylan helped me start to ditributing things on his counter.
I thought, she said, this was only going to be
(05:06):
a few people, I told him, not even recognizing the newcomers.
He gave me a look, and then I Daisy, who
was already chatting it up with one of the girls. Apparently,
a private party means post the address on Facebook, he commented.
The doorbell rang again, and Val opened it to let
in about six more people, all of which were about
as loud and obnoxious as the others. You're the one
(05:28):
who said your parents wouldn't be until Friday, Daisy commented
with a laugh. Come on, Ryland, lighten up. None of
us are going to trash the place. The minute I
heard the voice, I tried not to panic. I knew
i'd recognized that fancy car. Nick. You invited Nick, like
(05:49):
you said before, Ducks. That's a good time for all,
Ryland said to a laugh as he waved to the
football jock. You guys, do whatever you want. Real party
will be upstairs anyway, he said. What's that mean, Nick
asked as he glanced over at the WIGI board and
shook the box. You guys gonna wet your pants while
we're chatting with ghosts, he laughed. We're gonna try a
(06:11):
nineteen minute cheance. Rylan said, without even breaking his gaze,
I found myself suddenly a bit uneasy, as a few
others in the room paused what they were doing when
he said it, it couldn't have been the real story,
I thought. Nick gave them all funny looks and then
stared back at Rylan and what's that, huh? Some kind
of TikTok thing. Rylan finished stocking up the fridge and
(06:35):
then grabbed the Ouiji board from the jock. It's for
big boys and girls. You wouldn't understand, he responded as
he passed it de val. Nick laughed as the doorbell
rang and I saw a couple more familiar faces coming
in the door. The party slowly going back to normal.
Was Everyone tried to ignore what Rylan had claimed. As
Nick got distracted, I pulled Rylan aside to his dad's
office and closed the door. Hey you weren't serious about that,
(07:00):
were you? My friend gave me an impish grin. Why
you think we were staying at each other for a
little bit too long? I finally did my best to
give a nervous chuckle. I'm not stupid, decks. I know
my brother ain't coming back. Besides, everyone knows you have
to bring three boards to do it anyway. He shrugged
me off. It was just to get Nick to shut
(07:22):
up and to discourage him from coming upstairs while we
have some real fun, he said, as he reached into
his pocket and pulled out a bag of weed. My
eyes widened in surprise. Where did you get that? God,
he's going to bring some more too, once he can
sneak out and make it here, Ylan told me. I
couldn't help but nervously laugh again. I didn't want to
admit that I wasn't one of the cool kids, and
(07:45):
I had never tried the Devil's lettuce. Nor did I
like the fact that his dead brother was now a
topic of conversation. Take this ups, heirs to Daisy. I'll
keep these lunkheads down here distracted for a little bit,
he told me, passing the bag to my open hand.
When we stepped back to the living room, I couldn't
help but feel a little anxious because of how many
(08:06):
people were here. I wish that my partner, Jesse, had
been able to come, I thought, as I shot her
a text. While I walked upstairs. Daisy was in Ryland's
room grunting, and she pushed his bed out of the
way to give us all a chance to sit on
the bare floor. He needs a table and chairs up here.
My ass is going to be chafed, I commented, as
she told me to help. I shoved the weed in
(08:27):
my pocket as we pushed the bed the rest of
the way and then collapsed onto the floor. It was
then I noticed there was another older Ouiji board under
his bed. Already, what do you have to is he
lying earlier? What's with you? It's like you've seen a ghost,
Daisy commented. I decided to see if maybe she was
(08:48):
in on the scheme. Do you know about the nineteen
minute seance? I asked? She gave me a snobbish look.
Oh please, Ryland talked about that all week, obsessed. Don't
tell me you're a conspiracy nerd too. I think he
wants us to attempt it. Here. See there's another one
of those Ouiji boards. All we need is three and
we can perform the ritual. I mean, do you know
(09:10):
what it does? I said, my hands shaking as I
took it out from under his bed. You're serious? You
really think if we try some creepy pasta challenge, we're
gonna get haunted by demons. I'd rather not take my chances,
especially not on Halloween, I told her. Daisy laughed and
ignored me. This sounds like we'll have fun scaring you shitless.
(09:31):
I decided to storm back downstairs and confront Rylan if
he wasn't going to be straight with me. I was
leaving my phone pinged as I got halfway down the
stairs and stopped to read a text from Jesse. Before
I could put the phone back in my pocket, Todd
drunkenly stumbled past me with something in his hands, and
I dropped it all the way to the floor below.
I watched it in horror as my phone smashed up
(09:53):
on Ryland's tile floor. What the hell, watch where you're going,
I said to Todd as I focused on what he
had brought, the third Ouiji board, confirming that Rylan wasn't
just blowing smoke to Nick either. My heart sank as
Todd shimed past me. Relax, bro, I'm sure you're rich.
Daddy can buy you another phone. I ignored his snide comment.
(10:16):
I rushed to the floor below and picked up my
broken phone, trying to see if it would work. I
needed someone to come pick me up and take me
away from here fast before something terrible happened. All I
saw was a glitchy and crack screen. Ah shit that happened?
Rylan asked, as he squeezed past two partying girls in
the hallway. I should ask you that what the hell
(10:39):
are you planning upstairs? The truth? This time, I shouted,
that's what are you talking about? The truth? Really, he asked.
But I didn't have time for games. I grabbed my
stuff and said, I don't know a part of this. I'm
heading home. Ryland tried to grab my wrist. You don't
get to walk away from me, he shouted, but I
shoved him back hard enough to knock over a few
(11:00):
Nick and a few others saw the commotion and started
to trickle into the vestibule of the kitchen. What do
we got here? Lover spat, he joked. Rylan stood up
and looked at the mess and then to me. He
had anger in his eyes. What the hell, Nick, I
was just kidding about earlier. Could you help DECKX upstairs?
(11:21):
I want you in our little project, he told the jock.
I did my best not to snap. Nick seemed to
be confused, thankfully. I mean like foursome ago, Yeah, a
musclehead use those abs for something useful. Decks here wants
to leave and tattle on our fun. Rylan lined, I
saw something different, my friend I recognized it was malice,
(11:41):
and I realized what was really happening. Nick snorted and
cracked his knuckles. His body's blocking my eggs in. Well,
we can't have that, now, can we. He moved to
grab my arm and shoved me up the stairs. Then
I reached for a wine bottle, smashing it on the
jock's head as the glass shattered over his thick skull.
I turned to run to the bathroom, and here there
was a window crawl out of a few guests shrieked
(12:01):
as I ran past and slammed the bathroom door shut,
locking it and sliding the shower door open to reach
the window. It was just about two feet above my head.
I heard Rylan shouting for help from the other football
players to get the door open. As I anxiously stood
up on the edge of the bathtub to reach the window,
angling it to give myself enough room to slide out.
I started to grab at the exterior, awning and pulled
(12:22):
my body up. The door rocked and shimmied, ready to
fly off the hinges behind me. I was grunting and
getting halfway up and into the crawl space when they
managed to shove the door open and pile into the bathroom.
My upper body was out. I was ready to get away,
and then Nick grabbed my ankle and snagged me back
into the bathroom. I don't think I've ever kicked someone
(12:43):
so hard in my life, but this time it didn't
make a difference. His bodies were on either side of
my arms, grabbing me and keeping me from flailing. As
I saw Rylan stand in the doorway looking like some
kind of mad overpowered leader. Let me go, I screamed.
I was hoping someone out in the hallway would see
this and Sandy and stop it. But everyone was looking
to our host for instructions, and his orders were clear upstairs.
(13:10):
Tie him there in a chair and put them in
my room. Take that mouth of his too. I'm tired
of the shitty spewing. The jocks held firmly to my
legs and arms, carrying me from the bathroom out of
the hallway to the stairs. I looked frantically from side
to side toward the other guests, hoping anyone would see
how crazy this looked. I tried to shout that the
players are gonna kill me, anything I could do to
get free, but Rylan cranked the music up and I
(13:32):
please fell on deaf ears. As he reached the upper floor,
I saw Daisy in the doorway, looking a bit perplexed
by what was happening. You gotta snitch grab the chair,
Nick ordered. Valent Todd were there too, setting up the
Ouiji boards. Guys, guys, don't do this. Don't is a
bad idea, please, I said, as Nick and his friends
(13:52):
shoved me into the chair. I always want to tie
them down. One of them asked, tie him down? What's
going on? Tod asked. They focused on him. They're trying
to do the ritual. Todd, you saw that shit we
read on the dark web. We can't do this, Ryland can't.
Val was the one who looked the most concerned. I
thought this was supposed to be like harmless fun, she commented.
(14:13):
It is dex is being dramatic as usual, Ryland said.
As he entered the room, he was carrying a roll
of duct tape. Probably wants to slip off with our
stash to Jesse's place, huh, he said, as he reached
into my pocket and took out the weed. Nick suddenly
laughed hysterically. Is that what this is about? Goody two shoes?
Doesn't want to get high pretty much. Ryland said, no, Look, guys,
(14:36):
I don't care what you're doing here. I won't tell
a soul, but I don't want to be a part
of it. I told them. Rylan gave Nick zip ties
from my hands and feet. Expect us to believe that.
God asked, my phone's broken, I got dropped off. I'd
have to walk out of here, I told them. As
they made sure the restraints were good and tight, I
saw Val standing in the corner, looking more and more worried.
(14:57):
Maybe what I was saying was getting through to her.
Or go alert the neighbors who might call the cops.
Nick scoffed. Somewhere downstairs, we heard a loud noise. Now,
who's the one with a nervous laugh? Now? Pretty sure
that's gonna happen anyway, thanks to Daisy's invite. I mean,
it's a private neighborhood. Your house is party central. Right,
They're already on their way. This was enough of a
(15:19):
threat to make the rest of the group nervous. Everyone
looked to Rylan Nick, go downstairs, were crowd control. We'll
get things ready in here, he said. The jock didn't
have to be told twice. Once he was gone, rather
than locked the door. He had a dark look on
his face, and suddenly it was crystal clear what this
(15:42):
was about. I had doubted before, but now now I knew.
Holy shit, this really is about Sawyer, I said, my
mouth going dry. Val stood up from the corner, her
eyes widening. Sawyer Is that true? Rylan didn't say a
thing as he pulled the duct tape out and focused
(16:03):
on me. How about you take a little time out. Well,
the grown ups do some talking, he said, placing the
silver sticky material over my lips. Once it was on good,
Rylan focused on Val, who seemed to be the only
one in the room not in the know. Yeah, we're
gonna try to bring back so here. Got a problem
with you, he snapped. Val looked at her sister, then
(16:26):
paced the room. Yeah, yeah, that's a big problem. I
thought we were just gonna like smoke some weed and
then do a stupid as seance to see a few hallucinations,
not really like you know, dark magic shit, she mumbled.
I mean we can do that too. Nobody knows if
this shit's gonna work anyway, Daisy said, with a laugh.
(16:47):
The way she laughed she seemed a little shocked that
her boyfriend was so serious about it. It has to
we have everything we need, Rylan said. There was a
knock of the door and opened it to let neck
back in. Everything kosher downstairs. Bro ready to get this
party started, he asked. I tried my best to get
(17:08):
his attention, but my words were only muffled. Man, you
really do pull crazy parties. So what's the plan here?
Nick said, Sitting on the bed beside Val, Rylan locked
the door back and gave Todd and Daisy orders. Let's
get decks in the center of the sigela. Nick, you'll
be over here on this side. Okay. He tapped on
a different rolling chair and placed it on the back
(17:30):
side of mine. Sweet. Oh, he can cuddle, he teased
as he rubbed his sweaty face against mine, and wished
I could tell him what he was getting involved with,
but it was too late. Once Nick sat down opposite
in me, Todd and Daisy put their wigi boards on
either side of us, and Rylan told Val to go
to the top to form a triangle. I could tell
(17:51):
she was hesitant. What uh so, what happens if we succeed?
She asked? Should be obvious sawyer, Ryland told us, Okay,
who the fuck's sawyer? What are we gonna smoke? A
blunt bro, Nick said irritably. Todd was the one to
handle that, getting some of the weed out and preparing
(18:12):
the jock of roll this stuff. Enjoy, he said. Nick
took a few puffs of smoke and then immediately began
to relax. Ah, yeah, that's the good shit. Rylan was
still staring at Val waiting for her to comply. I
I don't know about this, fel said, looking to her
sister for confirmation. Look, do you want him back or what?
(18:36):
Daisy snapped. I mean, well, sure of course, yeah, but
he's he's dead gone. You don't come back from that,
I muttered, you do if we succeed. Ryland told her.
The room was dead silent except for Nick's occasional sharp cough,
and finally Valve relented, placing Ruiji board to the top
of the triangle. Rylan made sure the door was locked.
(18:59):
Ready to start, he asked. Todd, and Daisy gave a
nod and took out their smartphones to set a timer.
Val did the same. M Bro, what is this anyway,
Nick asked. Ryland turned off the lights, and the small
candles that he had in the room were the only
lights remaining. Shut up, Ryland said, as each of the
(19:21):
players put their hands on the planchett at the center
of the Ouiji board. When I give the word, the
time will begin, he added, as he stood near the
door and focused on me, He said the code word
and the phrase, we invite the spirit of Sawyer Aldrich.
Immediately the timers on the phone started. Ryland didn't blink
(19:41):
as he asked the first question, what is the name
we need? I closed my eyes as the tears streak
down my face. The trios rounding Nick and I spelt
out the name D E X T E R. Are
you the color britt if Flanchet's arrested on Yes. I
(20:04):
was trying my best to resist. The air felt thick
as I realized the inevitable was happening. It was reading
my mind. What did you do? A C C I
D E N T. Ryland's face scrunched up as his
(20:25):
girlfriend gave him a dirty look. You gotta be more specific,
she told him. He has to use the script. Todd
corrected her. Ryland repeated the question. I did my best
to avoid what he was trying to get me to
do m I S T A K E. This isn't working.
(20:48):
Daisy grumbled and took out a small pocket knife from
her back pocket. My eyes widened, and before I could
stop her, she stabbed me right in the side. Jesus
Christ Bell said, covering her mouth. Answer the fucking question correctly,
she shouted to me as she twisted the knife in
The tape kept me from screaming, and Nick was so
zoned out from smoking he didn't even notice. Ryland repeated
(21:09):
the question. I looked at Dazy, knowing what she would
do if I lied again. Okay, I l L. This
time they were satisfied. I looked down at the phone.
Thirteen minutes left. Should I stall and prevent them from finishing?
(21:31):
Who did you kill? I tried my best not to
think about it, but the spirits were already guiding their hands.
S A W why E. R Val was still covering
her mouth, this time looking disbelief towards me. That can't
(21:53):
be true. I averted my gaze and Todd told her
to focus. Rylan asked the next question, this time focusing
on Nick. Who's the empty vessel? And I see? Okay? Nick,
seemed to actually pay attention as the letter spelled his name. Shit,
this does some good weed. Almost looks like they really
(22:14):
did say my name. Rylan ignored his ramblings, focusing on
the next question, is he the victim? The planchett moved,
resting on no, shall we drain the vessel and moved
to yes, Nick, nor did train the what what the
(22:36):
fuck are you all smoking? To? We will raise our
hands now and offer our force to the spirits, Rylan responded.
All three participants with the boards did as they were
instructed and let go of their planchettes. The timer was
down to nine and a half minutes. I was struggling
my best, trying to get Nick to do something. Rylin's
(22:56):
voice was the only thing that filled the void. Who
who is the victim? S? A W? Why E R?
Is he ready to return? The planchet moved of its
own accord to the word yes, we give our energies
to the transfer. Nick was about to open his mouth,
(23:19):
confused by what was going on, when I heard his
voice become nothing but a whisper. Then it sounded like
he was choking. At the same time, I found my
own throat collapsing. The room filling with some sort of
strange fog, the kind you might see when you barely
keep the windows open. Except I knew what this was.
I could feel it. My life was being drained. Nick
(23:42):
stood up, grasping in the chair and turning to me.
His eyes were turning black as he lost his air.
Todd shoved him back down, and Daisy told him to
be careful. Rylan looked at the clock. We were almost
down to five minutes. Come, he announced to the void.
Then Nick's body went limp. This time I felt something
strike me right in the chest. Is that look? I
(24:03):
was having a heart attack. The trio around the schedule
they had created, watched and waited to see what would happen.
The timer was rapidly running down. Then behind us we
heard something downstairs. Shit, shit, shit, Rylan, we gotta hurry,
Daisy responded, I think the power went out, Vow realized
as she heard people complaining. Below our feet, there was
(24:24):
a sudden low hum in the room. I felt the
air on the back of my neck stand up as
the room became colder. Daisy stood up. He's here, Sawyer,
He's really here. Rylan was doing his best not to
get excited, but we were down to three minutes altogether,
he whispered as he reached for his girlfriend's hand, and
(24:45):
then Todd Val was the last to form a circle
around me and Nick. They chanted the next words together,
the sacred sacrifice we prepared for you, a body strong
and young and new, Your precious blood taken away. Now
we let you see another day. Take what was stolen
return to us, Sawyer, We invite you to this life.
(25:07):
Behind Rylan, there was a knock on the door. One
of the guests was trying to get his attention. The
trio didn't say a word, too focused on their ritual.
Down to two minutes. I took a chance and screamed
under my duct tape. Someone on the other side heard it. Then,
opposite of me, I could feel Nick beginning to move again.
He stood up, almost robotically, and I could I could
hear a sharp breath intake from his lungs. Todd, Daisy,
(25:29):
and Val all looked like they were seeing a miracle.
Rylan stepped into the sigil. Sawyer, little bro it's me You.
Reached for Nick's hand. Nick stopped him before he touched.
Then he turned my chair around, and I found myself
staring at the jock and into his now completely white eyes. Possessed,
the timer was almost down to thirty seconds. He pulled
the tape from my lips and I immediately screamed for help.
(25:52):
Nick No sawyer, took the pocket knife from Daisy and
plunged it into my neck. Don't you remember me? Don't
you remember what she told me? Dexter, No one's going
to care about you. At the same time, the door
opened and the guests that heard my scream stepped into
the already crowded room. I can't remember what happened next,
(26:14):
the timer said. Just below ten seconds, the candles went out,
the lights flickered on. Someone saw the knife in my
neck and started rushing for the possessed. Nick No, you'll
bring a spell, Ryland shouted too late. As soon as
they struck neck, his body convulsed and he shrieked. The
crowd was flung backward. Suddenly, the lights flickered and hummed louder,
(26:37):
and the timer alarms went off. Nick kept convulsing, his bones,
breaking his body, bending into impossible shapes. He was hardly
even aware of the actions, though an unseen and powerful
force rocking the entire house as Ryland frantically tried to
keep everything together. Sawyer, stay with me, Stay with me,
he shouted as he grabbed his brother. The possessed body
(26:59):
was still, and I held my breath. Then the screams
of a thousand souls ruptured the air, and a cascade
of vile, black smog burst from Nick's mouth. I closed
my eyes and prayed. My heart kept racing. My body
felt like it was going to explode. As the screams
grew louder, the house felt like it was being bombed.
I thought about Jesse, how much I loved her. I
(27:25):
wanted to be with her, I promised myself, if I
live through this, I tell her everything that happened that
night around me. I heard my friends begin to shriek too,
and watched as they held their hands over their ears.
I thought about Daisy as I looked at her. All
she had ever cared about was making her boyfriend happy.
(27:48):
She didn't even know the whole story. She was just
here for him. Her eyes bled out. I thought about
the sweet and innocent She's probably in the same boat
as her sister, trying to make things right, and everything
had gone so horribly wrong. Her face burned off I
(28:13):
thought about Todd. I didn't even know him that well,
but I knew he was just a loyal droned to Ryland.
His chest exploded. I thought about Nick, dumb bully, Nick,
the real problem here, the one maybe he deserved to
(28:33):
be punished, the one I had to cover for. He
was still still as a stone. I thought about Rylan obsession, rage, revenge.
He had driven him this far, and I had ignored
it all. I thought everything was forgiven. We were gonna
heal together. His body disintegrated, and then I thought about Sawyer.
(29:00):
I'm sorry, I whispered as the spirit choked my life away,
and then the house was quiet. I opened my eyes
and I looked around. Everyone around me was dead except
(29:23):
for Nick. The fire from the spirits had also burned away.
The zip ties allowed me to move. I shook him awake.
These normal green eyes were turning. I could see he
was still high as fuck as he frantically saw the
dead bodies. The hell happened? I need to go, I
told him. He didn't argue. We stepped past the room
(29:47):
to the hallway. The music was still playing, but no
one was partying. All the people the Daisy had invited
were dead. Some had sot their throats, others had ripped
their faces off, had just fallen over and collapsed, every
single one of them dead. I kept hearing Nick costas
(30:11):
we left, and he pulled out his car keys. The
fancy car had eyed earlier, coming to life from the alarm.
I'll drive, I told him, in his inebriated state. He
didn't argue. I drove out of the neighborhood as fast
as I could, thinking how ironic it was that I
was behind the wheel of his car. Now, with this
idiot passed out history, it was poetry, except this time,
(30:40):
this time, I'll do the right thing. I reached over
to where Nick had his cell phone in the middle
console and called Jesse, Babe, where the heck are you.
I'm headed to Rylands now for the party. Can you
wait for me? My throat closed up and I let
another tear trickle across my cheek. Yes, there won't be
(31:03):
a party. I'm coming to your place. We need to talk.
Local police were called tonight to what was initially assumed
to be a noise ordnance violation in Maxwell Gated community.
(31:24):
The call originated in the Aldrich residence. Residents of this
peaceful cul de Sac will recall just one year ago,
sixteen year old Sawyer Aldrich tragically took his own life,
jumping in front of a moving car after being a
victim of cyberbullying and hate speech by a family friend.
In a strange twist of fate, Sawyer's older brother Ryland
was found dead tonight, along with over thirty Halloween party guests.
(31:48):
Law enforcement has yet to conclude the cause of the incident,
but the neighbors speculate the very same bully maybe to blame.
I saw him. He drove out of the neighborhood right
after the whole thing went down. He's a sophomore. He's
a good kid anyway, Sure it was him. I recognize
that car that drove out of same one that struck
(32:09):
poor Sawyer a year ago. I'll tell you this, I'll
never forget seeing that car back up and drive off.
I hope he goes to jail for it this time.

Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems,
in a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams.
For the story that you were about to be told
took place in the holiday worlds of old. Now you've
probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven't, I'd
(00:22):
say it's time you begun. It was Halloween night. I
could hear the opening lyrics to that Burden classic as
soon as I stepped on Rylan Aldrich's front porch. I
had just been dropped off by my parents at the
front gate of his community, and was sure I was
underdressed as a ninja. A nearby mummy decoration popped up
(00:46):
from its candy display and cackled, giving me a healthy
jump scare. When I rang the doorbell, It's going to
be a good night. He opened the door with a
comb of his hair and half of it streaked with
white dye fake fangs and his and a bit of
goop dripping from his lips. Deck you're early, I was
just getting ready, he said, waving me in. The decorations
(01:08):
were a bit more toned down inside the little jack
a lantern, lights strung up in odd places, few skull candles,
The TV was blaring some old classic monster movie, and
he reached for the remote before tossing it to me.
Make yourself comfortable, I gotta get the stupid die cooperate. Thanks. Nope,
but not too early. We were supposed to go pick
up Jesse, but our plans got canceled, I told him,
(01:30):
as he went back to his small hallway bathroom. Ah,
I suck. She won't make it, huh, he shouted as
I switched his TV over to Hulu. I looked at
pictures of his family nearby, thinking it'd been too long
since I had seen them. Yeah, I had to take
her little. I paused as I realized my choice of
words and pretended to forget what I was saying. So
(01:52):
who else is supposed to show up? I asked him
as I opened the door and screamed this time actually
jumped when a prop skeleton fell out. I heard it
laughter from the other room, and I screamed, and he
stuck his head out of the hallway to see my face.
That's what you deserve, he told me with another belly laughed.
Shit man, I muttered, reaching around the prop to grab
one of his dad's beers. Are there any other traps
(02:13):
I need to be aware of. Am I gonna get
a mouse trap on my hand if I reach in
the cookie jar? Considering the bad blood that had been
between us, I wasn't gonna put anything past him. The
doorball rang just as I cracked open the core's light,
and Rylan responded, Now where's the fun in that? Hey?
Can you grab the door? I sipped the cold beer
as I opened it, try my best to remain cool
(02:35):
when I saw his girlfriend, Daisy Simmons standing there, looking
sexy as hell in a devil costume, holding a few snacks. Daisy, Hey,
Ryland's in the back well. Are you gonna let me in?
She said irritably. I nodded and put my beer down
to help her with the food. As I pushed the door, Ajar,
(02:55):
Ryland gave me the wrong damn key code for your neighborhood,
she whined, tugging him out of the bathroom. Jesus, Babe,
I didn't know they would change the geate code to night,
he apologized as he pushed his faith fangs into his mouth,
and then the two briefly kissed. It wasn't a short peck,
but it wasn't too long to make me uncomfortable. That's
fine once I got it open, I wrote that damn
(03:16):
thing on the device for anyone else, she said. Ryland
gave her a look of disbelief. Uh, babe, that's only
supposed to be for residents, he told her. She shrugged
and grabbed the beer I had set down to take
a sip. Really fine, Hey, Dex, can you help Val
get the stuff out of my trunk? I nodded, put
the bag of chips down on his counter to go
help her sister. Ryland's gated community was starting to get
(03:38):
a trickle of cars in thanks to Daisy's unintentional assistance.
Even as I walked towards her equinox, a sports car
was squeezing in the cul de sac for parking. It
looked overly familiar. Hey, I'm trying to get my trunk open,
I heard Val say, as the new car bumped a
little too close for comfort and dropped off her which hat.
(04:00):
She used her sister's keys to click open the hatch
and gave me an awkward smile. Sorry you had to
see that, decks. I guess this costume kind of fits me, huh,
I chuckled as I helped her grab stuff from the trunk.
Maybe people learn manners, you wouldn't need to worry about
the costume, I commented, loud enough for the driver of
the other vehicle to hear. I was also trying to
get a good look at the driver, but couldn't see
(04:22):
for sure who it was. Must see my imagination, I thought.
I picked up the food that was the heaviest and
told her to stack as much as she could in
my arms, my eyes lingering on something in the bottom
of her items. Luiji board really, I said, skeptically, as
Val put the board game on top of my stack,
specifically requested by our host. Took me forever to find
(04:44):
the thing I haven't played with one of these years,
she said. I followed her back inside the house, where
I just saw that a few other people had somehow
made it insigne. While we were unloading. The TV was
now up cranked to eleven with some pop music, and
Rylan helped me start to ditributing things on his counter.
I thought, she said, this was only going to be
(05:06):
a few people, I told him, not even recognizing the newcomers.
He gave me a look, and then I Daisy, who
was already chatting it up with one of the girls. Apparently,
a private party means post the address on Facebook, he commented.
The doorbell rang again, and Val opened it to let
in about six more people, all of which were about
as loud and obnoxious as the others. You're the one
(05:28):
who said your parents wouldn't be until Friday, Daisy commented
with a laugh. Come on, Ryland, lighten up. None of
us are going to trash the place. The minute I
heard the voice, I tried not to panic. I knew
i'd recognized that fancy car. Nick. You invited Nick, like
(05:49):
you said before, Ducks. That's a good time for all,
Ryland said to a laugh as he waved to the
football jock. You guys, do whatever you want. Real party
will be upstairs anyway, he said. What's that mean, Nick
asked as he glanced over at the WIGI board and
shook the box. You guys gonna wet your pants while
we're chatting with ghosts, he laughed. We're gonna try a
(06:11):
nineteen minute cheance. Rylan said, without even breaking his gaze,
I found myself suddenly a bit uneasy, as a few
others in the room paused what they were doing when
he said it, it couldn't have been the real story,
I thought. Nick gave them all funny looks and then
stared back at Rylan and what's that, huh? Some kind
of TikTok thing. Rylan finished stocking up the fridge and
(06:35):
then grabbed the Ouiji board from the jock. It's for
big boys and girls. You wouldn't understand, he responded as
he passed it de val. Nick laughed as the doorbell
rang and I saw a couple more familiar faces coming
in the door. The party slowly going back to normal.
Was Everyone tried to ignore what Rylan had claimed. As
Nick got distracted, I pulled Rylan aside to his dad's
office and closed the door. Hey you weren't serious about that,
(07:00):
were you? My friend gave me an impish grin. Why
you think we were staying at each other for a
little bit too long? I finally did my best to
give a nervous chuckle. I'm not stupid, decks. I know
my brother ain't coming back. Besides, everyone knows you have
to bring three boards to do it anyway. He shrugged
me off. It was just to get Nick to shut
(07:22):
up and to discourage him from coming upstairs while we
have some real fun, he said, as he reached into
his pocket and pulled out a bag of weed. My
eyes widened in surprise. Where did you get that? God,
he's going to bring some more too, once he can
sneak out and make it here, Ylan told me. I
couldn't help but nervously laugh again. I didn't want to
admit that I wasn't one of the cool kids, and
(07:45):
I had never tried the Devil's lettuce. Nor did I
like the fact that his dead brother was now a
topic of conversation. Take this ups, heirs to Daisy. I'll
keep these lunkheads down here distracted for a little bit,
he told me, passing the bag to my open hand.
When we stepped back to the living room, I couldn't
help but feel a little anxious because of how many
(08:06):
people were here. I wish that my partner, Jesse, had
been able to come, I thought, as I shot her
a text. While I walked upstairs. Daisy was in Ryland's
room grunting, and she pushed his bed out of the
way to give us all a chance to sit on
the bare floor. He needs a table and chairs up here.
My ass is going to be chafed, I commented, as
she told me to help. I shoved the weed in
(08:27):
my pocket as we pushed the bed the rest of
the way and then collapsed onto the floor. It was
then I noticed there was another older Ouiji board under
his bed. Already, what do you have to is he
lying earlier? What's with you? It's like you've seen a ghost,
Daisy commented. I decided to see if maybe she was
(08:48):
in on the scheme. Do you know about the nineteen
minute seance? I asked? She gave me a snobbish look.
Oh please, Ryland talked about that all week, obsessed. Don't
tell me you're a conspiracy nerd too. I think he
wants us to attempt it. Here. See there's another one
of those Ouiji boards. All we need is three and
we can perform the ritual. I mean, do you know
(09:10):
what it does? I said, my hands shaking as I
took it out from under his bed. You're serious? You
really think if we try some creepy pasta challenge, we're
gonna get haunted by demons. I'd rather not take my chances,
especially not on Halloween, I told her. Daisy laughed and
ignored me. This sounds like we'll have fun scaring you shitless.
(09:31):
I decided to storm back downstairs and confront Rylan if
he wasn't going to be straight with me. I was
leaving my phone pinged as I got halfway down the
stairs and stopped to read a text from Jesse. Before
I could put the phone back in my pocket, Todd
drunkenly stumbled past me with something in his hands, and
I dropped it all the way to the floor below.
I watched it in horror as my phone smashed up
(09:53):
on Ryland's tile floor. What the hell, watch where you're going,
I said to Todd as I focused on what he
had brought, the third Ouiji board, confirming that Rylan wasn't
just blowing smoke to Nick either. My heart sank as
Todd shimed past me. Relax, bro, I'm sure you're rich.
Daddy can buy you another phone. I ignored his snide comment.
(10:16):
I rushed to the floor below and picked up my
broken phone, trying to see if it would work. I
needed someone to come pick me up and take me
away from here fast before something terrible happened. All I
saw was a glitchy and crack screen. Ah shit that happened?
Rylan asked, as he squeezed past two partying girls in
the hallway. I should ask you that what the hell
(10:39):
are you planning upstairs? The truth? This time, I shouted,
that's what are you talking about? The truth? Really, he asked.
But I didn't have time for games. I grabbed my
stuff and said, I don't know a part of this. I'm
heading home. Ryland tried to grab my wrist. You don't
get to walk away from me, he shouted, but I
shoved him back hard enough to knock over a few
(11:00):
Nick and a few others saw the commotion and started
to trickle into the vestibule of the kitchen. What do
we got here? Lover spat, he joked. Rylan stood up
and looked at the mess and then to me. He
had anger in his eyes. What the hell, Nick, I
was just kidding about earlier. Could you help DECKX upstairs?
(11:21):
I want you in our little project, he told the jock.
I did my best not to snap. Nick seemed to
be confused, thankfully. I mean like foursome ago, Yeah, a
musclehead use those abs for something useful. Decks here wants
to leave and tattle on our fun. Rylan lined, I
saw something different, my friend I recognized it was malice,
(11:41):
and I realized what was really happening. Nick snorted and
cracked his knuckles. His body's blocking my eggs in. Well,
we can't have that, now, can we. He moved to
grab my arm and shoved me up the stairs. Then
I reached for a wine bottle, smashing it on the
jock's head as the glass shattered over his thick skull.
I turned to run to the bathroom, and here there
was a window crawl out of a few guests shrieked
(12:01):
as I ran past and slammed the bathroom door shut,
locking it and sliding the shower door open to reach
the window. It was just about two feet above my head.
I heard Rylan shouting for help from the other football
players to get the door open. As I anxiously stood
up on the edge of the bathtub to reach the window,
angling it to give myself enough room to slide out.
I started to grab at the exterior, awning and pulled
(12:22):
my body up. The door rocked and shimmied, ready to
fly off the hinges behind me. I was grunting and
getting halfway up and into the crawl space when they
managed to shove the door open and pile into the bathroom.
My upper body was out. I was ready to get away,
and then Nick grabbed my ankle and snagged me back
into the bathroom. I don't think I've ever kicked someone
(12:43):
so hard in my life, but this time it didn't
make a difference. His bodies were on either side of
my arms, grabbing me and keeping me from flailing. As
I saw Rylan stand in the doorway looking like some
kind of mad overpowered leader. Let me go, I screamed.
I was hoping someone out in the hallway would see
this and Sandy and stop it. But everyone was looking
to our host for instructions, and his orders were clear upstairs.
(13:10):
Tie him there in a chair and put them in
my room. Take that mouth of his too. I'm tired
of the shitty spewing. The jocks held firmly to my
legs and arms, carrying me from the bathroom out of
the hallway to the stairs. I looked frantically from side
to side toward the other guests, hoping anyone would see
how crazy this looked. I tried to shout that the
players are gonna kill me, anything I could do to
get free, but Rylan cranked the music up and I
(13:32):
please fell on deaf ears. As he reached the upper floor,
I saw Daisy in the doorway, looking a bit perplexed
by what was happening. You gotta snitch grab the chair,
Nick ordered. Valent Todd were there too, setting up the
Ouiji boards. Guys, guys, don't do this. Don't is a
bad idea, please, I said, as Nick and his friends
(13:52):
shoved me into the chair. I always want to tie
them down. One of them asked, tie him down? What's
going on? Tod asked. They focused on him. They're trying
to do the ritual. Todd, you saw that shit we
read on the dark web. We can't do this, Ryland can't.
Val was the one who looked the most concerned. I
thought this was supposed to be like harmless fun, she commented.
(14:13):
It is dex is being dramatic as usual, Ryland said.
As he entered the room, he was carrying a roll
of duct tape. Probably wants to slip off with our
stash to Jesse's place, huh, he said, as he reached
into my pocket and took out the weed. Nick suddenly
laughed hysterically. Is that what this is about? Goody two shoes?
Doesn't want to get high pretty much. Ryland said, no, Look, guys,
(14:36):
I don't care what you're doing here. I won't tell
a soul, but I don't want to be a part
of it. I told them. Rylan gave Nick zip ties
from my hands and feet. Expect us to believe that.
God asked, my phone's broken, I got dropped off. I'd
have to walk out of here, I told them. As
they made sure the restraints were good and tight, I
saw Val standing in the corner, looking more and more worried.
(14:57):
Maybe what I was saying was getting through to her.
Or go alert the neighbors who might call the cops.
Nick scoffed. Somewhere downstairs, we heard a loud noise. Now,
who's the one with a nervous laugh? Now? Pretty sure
that's gonna happen anyway, thanks to Daisy's invite. I mean,
it's a private neighborhood. Your house is party central. Right,
They're already on their way. This was enough of a
(15:19):
threat to make the rest of the group nervous. Everyone
looked to Rylan Nick, go downstairs, were crowd control. We'll
get things ready in here, he said. The jock didn't
have to be told twice. Once he was gone, rather
than locked the door. He had a dark look on
his face, and suddenly it was crystal clear what this
(15:42):
was about. I had doubted before, but now now I knew.
Holy shit, this really is about Sawyer, I said, my
mouth going dry. Val stood up from the corner, her
eyes widening. Sawyer Is that true? Rylan didn't say a
thing as he pulled the duct tape out and focused
(16:03):
on me. How about you take a little time out. Well,
the grown ups do some talking, he said, placing the
silver sticky material over my lips. Once it was on good,
Rylan focused on Val, who seemed to be the only
one in the room not in the know. Yeah, we're
gonna try to bring back so here. Got a problem
with you, he snapped. Val looked at her sister, then
(16:26):
paced the room. Yeah, yeah, that's a big problem. I
thought we were just gonna like smoke some weed and
then do a stupid as seance to see a few hallucinations,
not really like you know, dark magic shit, she mumbled.
I mean we can do that too. Nobody knows if
this shit's gonna work anyway, Daisy said, with a laugh.
(16:47):
The way she laughed she seemed a little shocked that
her boyfriend was so serious about it. It has to
we have everything we need, Rylan said. There was a
knock of the door and opened it to let neck
back in. Everything kosher downstairs. Bro ready to get this
party started, he asked. I tried my best to get
(17:08):
his attention, but my words were only muffled. Man, you
really do pull crazy parties. So what's the plan here?
Nick said, Sitting on the bed beside Val, Rylan locked
the door back and gave Todd and Daisy orders. Let's
get decks in the center of the sigela. Nick, you'll
be over here on this side. Okay. He tapped on
a different rolling chair and placed it on the back
(17:30):
side of mine. Sweet. Oh, he can cuddle, he teased
as he rubbed his sweaty face against mine, and wished
I could tell him what he was getting involved with,
but it was too late. Once Nick sat down opposite
in me, Todd and Daisy put their wigi boards on
either side of us, and Rylan told Val to go
to the top to form a triangle. I could tell
(17:51):
she was hesitant. What uh so, what happens if we succeed?
She asked? Should be obvious sawyer, Ryland told us, Okay,
who the fuck's sawyer? What are we gonna smoke? A
blunt bro, Nick said irritably. Todd was the one to
handle that, getting some of the weed out and preparing
(18:12):
the jock of roll this stuff. Enjoy, he said. Nick
took a few puffs of smoke and then immediately began
to relax. Ah, yeah, that's the good shit. Rylan was
still staring at Val waiting for her to comply. I
I don't know about this, fel said, looking to her
sister for confirmation. Look, do you want him back or what?
(18:36):
Daisy snapped. I mean, well, sure of course, yeah, but
he's he's dead gone. You don't come back from that,
I muttered, you do if we succeed. Ryland told her.
The room was dead silent except for Nick's occasional sharp cough,
and finally Valve relented, placing Ruiji board to the top
of the triangle. Rylan made sure the door was locked.
(18:59):
Ready to start, he asked. Todd, and Daisy gave a
nod and took out their smartphones to set a timer.
Val did the same. M Bro, what is this anyway,
Nick asked. Ryland turned off the lights, and the small
candles that he had in the room were the only
lights remaining. Shut up, Ryland said, as each of the
(19:21):
players put their hands on the planchett at the center
of the Ouiji board. When I give the word, the
time will begin, he added, as he stood near the
door and focused on me, He said the code word
and the phrase, we invite the spirit of Sawyer Aldrich.
Immediately the timers on the phone started. Ryland didn't blink
(19:41):
as he asked the first question, what is the name
we need? I closed my eyes as the tears streak
down my face. The trios rounding Nick and I spelt
out the name D E X T E R. Are
you the color britt if Flanchet's arrested on Yes. I
(20:04):
was trying my best to resist. The air felt thick
as I realized the inevitable was happening. It was reading
my mind. What did you do? A C C I
D E N T. Ryland's face scrunched up as his
(20:25):
girlfriend gave him a dirty look. You gotta be more specific,
she told him. He has to use the script. Todd
corrected her. Ryland repeated the question. I did my best
to avoid what he was trying to get me to
do m I S T A K E. This isn't working.
(20:48):
Daisy grumbled and took out a small pocket knife from
her back pocket. My eyes widened, and before I could
stop her, she stabbed me right in the side. Jesus
Christ Bell said, covering her mouth. Answer the fucking question correctly,
she shouted to me as she twisted the knife in
The tape kept me from screaming, and Nick was so
zoned out from smoking he didn't even notice. Ryland repeated
(21:09):
the question. I looked at Dazy, knowing what she would
do if I lied again. Okay, I l L. This
time they were satisfied. I looked down at the phone.
Thirteen minutes left. Should I stall and prevent them from finishing?
(21:31):
Who did you kill? I tried my best not to
think about it, but the spirits were already guiding their hands.
S A W why E. R Val was still covering
her mouth, this time looking disbelief towards me. That can't
(21:53):
be true. I averted my gaze and Todd told her
to focus. Rylan asked the next question, this time focusing
on Nick. Who's the empty vessel? And I see? Okay? Nick,
seemed to actually pay attention as the letter spelled his name. Shit,
this does some good weed. Almost looks like they really
(22:14):
did say my name. Rylan ignored his ramblings, focusing on
the next question, is he the victim? The planchett moved,
resting on no, shall we drain the vessel and moved
to yes, Nick, nor did train the what what the
(22:36):
fuck are you all smoking? To? We will raise our
hands now and offer our force to the spirits, Rylan responded.
All three participants with the boards did as they were
instructed and let go of their planchettes. The timer was
down to nine and a half minutes. I was struggling
my best, trying to get Nick to do something. Rylin's
(22:56):
voice was the only thing that filled the void. Who
who is the victim? S? A W? Why E R?
Is he ready to return? The planchet moved of its
own accord to the word yes, we give our energies
to the transfer. Nick was about to open his mouth,
(23:19):
confused by what was going on, when I heard his
voice become nothing but a whisper. Then it sounded like
he was choking. At the same time, I found my
own throat collapsing. The room filling with some sort of
strange fog, the kind you might see when you barely
keep the windows open. Except I knew what this was.
I could feel it. My life was being drained. Nick
(23:42):
stood up, grasping in the chair and turning to me.
His eyes were turning black as he lost his air.
Todd shoved him back down, and Daisy told him to
be careful. Rylan looked at the clock. We were almost
down to five minutes. Come, he announced to the void.
Then Nick's body went limp. This time I felt something
strike me right in the chest. Is that look? I
(24:03):
was having a heart attack. The trio around the schedule
they had created, watched and waited to see what would happen.
The timer was rapidly running down. Then behind us we
heard something downstairs. Shit, shit, shit, Rylan, we gotta hurry,
Daisy responded, I think the power went out, Vow realized
as she heard people complaining. Below our feet, there was
(24:24):
a sudden low hum in the room. I felt the
air on the back of my neck stand up as
the room became colder. Daisy stood up. He's here, Sawyer,
He's really here. Rylan was doing his best not to
get excited, but we were down to three minutes altogether,
he whispered as he reached for his girlfriend's hand, and
(24:45):
then Todd Val was the last to form a circle
around me and Nick. They chanted the next words together,
the sacred sacrifice we prepared for you, a body strong
and young and new, Your precious blood taken away. Now
we let you see another day. Take what was stolen
return to us, Sawyer, We invite you to this life.
(25:07):
Behind Rylan, there was a knock on the door. One
of the guests was trying to get his attention. The
trio didn't say a word, too focused on their ritual.
Down to two minutes. I took a chance and screamed
under my duct tape. Someone on the other side heard it. Then,
opposite of me, I could feel Nick beginning to move again.
He stood up, almost robotically, and I could I could
hear a sharp breath intake from his lungs. Todd, Daisy,
(25:29):
and Val all looked like they were seeing a miracle.
Rylan stepped into the sigil. Sawyer, little bro it's me You.
Reached for Nick's hand. Nick stopped him before he touched.
Then he turned my chair around, and I found myself
staring at the jock and into his now completely white eyes. Possessed,
the timer was almost down to thirty seconds. He pulled
the tape from my lips and I immediately screamed for help.
(25:52):
Nick No sawyer, took the pocket knife from Daisy and
plunged it into my neck. Don't you remember me? Don't
you remember what she told me? Dexter, No one's going
to care about you. At the same time, the door
opened and the guests that heard my scream stepped into
the already crowded room. I can't remember what happened next,
(26:14):
the timer said. Just below ten seconds, the candles went out,
the lights flickered on. Someone saw the knife in my
neck and started rushing for the possessed. Nick No, you'll
bring a spell, Ryland shouted too late. As soon as
they struck neck, his body convulsed and he shrieked. The
crowd was flung backward. Suddenly, the lights flickered and hummed louder,
(26:37):
and the timer alarms went off. Nick kept convulsing, his bones,
breaking his body, bending into impossible shapes. He was hardly
even aware of the actions, though an unseen and powerful
force rocking the entire house as Ryland frantically tried to
keep everything together. Sawyer, stay with me, Stay with me,
he shouted as he grabbed his brother. The possessed body
(26:59):
was still, and I held my breath. Then the screams
of a thousand souls ruptured the air, and a cascade
of vile, black smog burst from Nick's mouth. I closed
my eyes and prayed. My heart kept racing. My body
felt like it was going to explode. As the screams
grew louder, the house felt like it was being bombed.
I thought about Jesse, how much I loved her. I
(27:25):
wanted to be with her, I promised myself, if I
live through this, I tell her everything that happened that
night around me. I heard my friends begin to shriek too,
and watched as they held their hands over their ears.
I thought about Daisy as I looked at her. All
she had ever cared about was making her boyfriend happy.
(27:48):
She didn't even know the whole story. She was just
here for him. Her eyes bled out. I thought about
the sweet and innocent She's probably in the same boat
as her sister, trying to make things right, and everything
had gone so horribly wrong. Her face burned off I
(28:13):
thought about Todd. I didn't even know him that well,
but I knew he was just a loyal droned to Ryland.
His chest exploded. I thought about Nick, dumb bully, Nick,
the real problem here, the one maybe he deserved to
(28:33):
be punished, the one I had to cover for. He
was still still as a stone. I thought about Rylan obsession, rage, revenge.
He had driven him this far, and I had ignored
it all. I thought everything was forgiven. We were gonna
heal together. His body disintegrated, and then I thought about Sawyer.
(29:00):
I'm sorry, I whispered as the spirit choked my life away,
and then the house was quiet. I opened my eyes
and I looked around. Everyone around me was dead except
(29:23):
for Nick. The fire from the spirits had also burned away.
The zip ties allowed me to move. I shook him awake.
These normal green eyes were turning. I could see he
was still high as fuck as he frantically saw the
dead bodies. The hell happened? I need to go, I
told him. He didn't argue. We stepped past the room
(29:47):
to the hallway. The music was still playing, but no
one was partying. All the people the Daisy had invited
were dead. Some had sot their throats, others had ripped
their faces off, had just fallen over and collapsed, every
single one of them dead. I kept hearing Nick costas
(30:11):
we left, and he pulled out his car keys. The
fancy car had eyed earlier, coming to life from the alarm.
I'll drive, I told him, in his inebriated state. He
didn't argue. I drove out of the neighborhood as fast
as I could, thinking how ironic it was that I
was behind the wheel of his car. Now, with this
idiot passed out history, it was poetry, except this time,
(30:40):
this time, I'll do the right thing. I reached over
to where Nick had his cell phone in the middle
console and called Jesse, Babe, where the heck are you.
I'm headed to Rylands now for the party. Can you
wait for me? My throat closed up and I let
another tear trickle across my cheek. Yes, there won't be
(31:03):
a party. I'm coming to your place. We need to talk.
Local police were called tonight to what was initially assumed
to be a noise ordnance violation in Maxwell Gated community.
(31:24):
The call originated in the Aldrich residence. Residents of this
peaceful cul de Sac will recall just one year ago,
sixteen year old Sawyer Aldrich tragically took his own life,
jumping in front of a moving car after being a
victim of cyberbullying and hate speech by a family friend.
In a strange twist of fate, Sawyer's older brother Ryland
was found dead tonight, along with over thirty Halloween party guests.
(31:48):
Law enforcement has yet to conclude the cause of the incident,
but the neighbors speculate the very same bully maybe to blame.
I saw him. He drove out of the neighborhood right
after the whole thing went down. He's a sophomore. He's
a good kid anyway, Sure it was him. I recognize
that car that drove out of same one that struck
(32:09):
poor Sawyer a year ago. I'll tell you this, I'll
never forget seeing that car back up and drive off.
I hope he goes to jail for it this time.
