Here's a wacked one for you if you want to include it, it went for a long
time in the night.
A gang of us were hanging out at this area of a forest that included a
quarry or chasm that was filled with water, with some boulders that acted
as small islands to sun on and such. It was accessible by what would be
called a couple of banks by the edge, but you'd have to walk down pretty
steep paths into it. At any rate, there were these rocks under the water
that had some power that I noticed, they almost seemed to smile and have
faces (like our ugly statue friend in AA) and they had scribbles on them
that were indecipherable to me, but I knew they explained the mystery of
the red fog. Amanda, Duncan, and yes, Richie showed up. We were all
talking amicably, nothing out of the ordinary was going on, but suddenly
the forest seemed to take on an ominous presence. Duncan suggested we
leave. We went to this room similar to the kitchen/wine cellar in "The
Kidnapping of Richard Redstone." Very rugged and colonial. My friends
disappeared. But Duncan, Amanda and Richie and I continued to talk.
(Quick note, there was a dark, hallway-like room adjacent to this and
through it and past that door was the outside. The outside had a large,
narrow sand pit- almost like a gully- leading away from the house
surrounded by thin, but well-leafed trees.
Richie and I talked as if he were Stan, I asked him if he was flattered by
the residents on the River Denial and if he really kept up with the boards
(mind you, this was before the 'thank you' post) and he said he would be
crazy not to, very sincere, this young man.
But then, things started to change. Duncan told me not in so many words
that all of the evil and mysteriousness was going to end. The room became
more clear and I noticed tables with contraptions on them, like manacles
and knives. I started to feel very strange and dizzy, not in control of my
own actions. Amanda stood like a statue and Richie disappeared. I knew I
should run and get away, a great fear was crawling up my spine only to get
bigger as I realized I could not move. Joe showed up and questioned
Duncan,"Do you really think this is necessary? Can you do this to her?"
Duncan replied,"It's the only way she'll learn." He grabbed me with a
somewhat evil look and put a choker tightly around my neck. The choker had
the same scribbles as the rock in the water, it made me have visions of the
faces in the rocks, bombarded me with images I wasn't sure were real or
made by the choker. I couldn't see Joe, but I could see images in the
adjoining room in cloaks and robes, chanting and singing. They had stone
faces almost, and evil eyes, and I knew they were waiting for the kill. I
felt like a sacrifice, in fact, I knew I was a sacrifice. Duncan said to
me,"It's the only way. It's the only way." I looked him in the face, and
could see him completely and clearly and I asked him, "How could you do
this to me?" I knew the only way I could survive was to make it past all
those chanting demons and get outside, but there would be more waiting for
me out there, I could sense it. And Duncan wouldn't fight, he was going to
let me go get killed.
It gets fuzzy, but I remember just looking at Duncan with a sad, pleading
face, and him just moving about murmuring that this way the only way, in a
psychotic fashion, and I knew he wouldn't help me even if I started to
die....
Scary, me a human sacrifice? I think not!!!!!
