A STRANGE AND TERRIFYING STORY

something wicked this way comes...and it's here

The midnight hour draws near.The coastal town of MooresHead Bay is quiet and in deep slumber.A mysterious fog forms offshore.An eerie presence remains hidden in the white blanket of mist.Invisible and gaining momentum as it approaches city limits. In a matter of minutes, the fog advances to the downtown area and into every neighborhood block. Glowing street lamps are suddenly extinguished. Barking dogs are silenced. The fog shatters windows and finds its way inside of homes including through the small openings of locked doors.

And then.. the quiet of night is disrupted by the echoes of violent screams from every house in town...

The media coverage grows by the day from every country around the globe.MooresHead Bay is the center of attention worldwide. Days following the night of the fog, every citizen in town has disappeared.Over one thousand people, vanished.

Unbeknownst to police authorities and investigative reporters, is an indistinguishable sycamore tree standing In plain sight. Carved underneath its branches is one word...

Ive always wondered about these things...I wonder if you can still feel their spirits there...hear their voices..feel their natures...hmmm

This is really very neat! You had me going from the very beginning. Thanks for the tantalizing write.

Take care - Dave

[Simba]

Your writing oozes mystery and suspence, you grip the reader wanting to know more

[LKBillips]

Oooh I will have to check out The Lost Colony...at first it was like The Mist...that was a freaky story. Very goosebump worthy!

[Eris Marriott]

Love the drop off here at the end, as well as the build-up to the terror you are trying to infuse here. A bit clunky on the punctuation in places, but otherwise a lovely piece. Excellent work!

[Ranfer]

Nice way of telling.had the feel of going into a scary movie

[Corset]

Very Eerie, I saw a movie like this a long time ago called "The Fog" Maybe they were abducted my aliens, or something less exciting like Indians. I loved the way you told the story though, there is a ominous feeling that comes across beautifully as you read it, I'd say it hit it's mark. Nice bit of writing if I have to say so myself...oh wait, I just did:D

[Samuel Dickens]

Pretty creepy, in a Stephen King kind of way. I often forget all I know, but I've eagerly watched shows about the lost colony. Makes me think of Easter Island and its vanished inhabitants, too.
