THE WENDIGO
STARRING GEOFF AND DJ
BASED OFF A STORY FROM, "SCARY STORIES TO TELL IN THE DARK" BY ALVIN SHWARTZ.
Geoff sat by the fire at the hunting lodge he was at the year before, when something went wrong. He still didn't know what happened, but he missed his old guide DJ. Just then, a Dark-skinned man walked in and sat down with a blanket wrapped around him and his hat worn so you couldn't see his face. "Have you ever heard of the Wendigo?" the man asked. "No, what is it?" Geoff inquired. "They say it comes with the wind. It calls out to you, then drags you along at such a great speed, it burns your feet away. And more then that. Then it carries you off into the sky and drops you head-first." Geoff now thought about the incident with DJ the past year.
FLASHBACK
Geoff wanted to go hunting in a far north-west part of Canada. He had to go far, because his girlfriend Bridgette would never approve. Few people had ever been hunting there before, but Geoff wasn't worried. Nonetheless, he was able to find a hunting lodge. He asked many people to be his guide, but they all said it was too dangerous. Finally, he was able to find a man who needed the money very badly. His name was DJ, but he insisted to bring his pet bunny along. When they set up camp, they got to become good friends. That night, Geoff heard the wind howling,"DEEEEEEEEEEE-JAAAAAAY" . He shrugged it off and tried to go back to sleep, thinking he was losing his mind. Again it called stronger, "DEEEEEEEEEEE-JAAAAAAAAY". He decided to check the wind outside but he was astonished to see that the wind wasn't blowing, nor were any trees moving, but he still heard the wind calling, "DEEEEEEEEEEEE-JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY". He looked back in the corner of the tent to see DJ had awaken and was cuddling his Bunny in fright. "DJ, what's going on?" He asked. "I-I-It's nothing.." DJ replied. DJ was getting more tense and restless as it called even more desperately now, "DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY, DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY" Finally DJ couldn't take it anymore. He tried to leap out of the tent, but Geoff wrestled him to the ground, and shouted, "Dude, you can't just leave me out here!!" But the wind called again, and DJ broke free and took off running. Then Geoff shivered hearing DJ shout, "OH, MY FIERY FEET, MY BURNING FEET OF FIRE!!" multiple times before fading off into the night. The next morning, Geoff went searching for DJ by following his tracks but soon noticed something strange. His strides he had taken were getting longer! But they were too long to be human, As if something helped him run away. Then, out on the middle of a frozen pond, the tracks stopped. At first he thought DJ could have fallen through the ice, but there was no hole. Then he thought that something carried him off into the sky, but even HE thought that made no sense. Then the wind picked up again, "DEEEEEEE-JAAAAAAY" and still heard DJ screaming, this time directly above him, "...My fiery feet, my burning feet..." He now wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. He saw Bunny down on the ground where the tracks stopped. Was that blood on his fur? He stopped back at the tent and left some food for DJ and a note telling him that he was going to leave Bunny with the shopkeepers until he came back.
END FLASHBACK
Geoff seemed thankful for the man's knowledge, but there was something familiar about him. "Are you DJ?" He inquired. No answer. "Do you know anything about him?" He asked again. Still no answer. "Are you okay?" He said lifting up the man's hat. Then he screamed as he discovered there was nothing under the man's hat but a pile of ashes.
