Dad
How’s my favorite camper? Everything there all right?
Cole
We’re all about to turn in for the night
Dad
How’d you like your first day?
Dad
What? How could you hate it? I had so much fun when I was there at your age!
Cole
The food is crap, my legs are sore, and all the older campers are assholes
Cole
The older campers keep saying it
Dad
Well, you know your mother wouldn’t like that language so don’t use it once you’re back in the house
Dad
Is that creepy old cabin on the other side of the lake still there?
Cole
Yeah we passed by it as we were canoeing to the campsite
Dad
You wouldn’t believe the stories about that thing
Cole
The counselors mentioned some of them I think
Cole
The lake is a bit creepier though I think
Dad
What do you mean? Why?
Cole
One of the campers drowned there four summers ago
Cole
He was out there swimming by himself when no counselors were around
Cole
The weird part is they never found a body even though they searched the whole lake
Dad
Sounds like a spooky campfire story
Cole
We already told those and they were dumb
Cole
True stories are scarier to me
Dad
Well you stay safe there, okay buddy?
Cole
I will dad, don’t worry
Dad
I’ll talk to you in the morning okay?
Dad
We love and miss you Cole, we’ll see you in two weeks
Dad
What is it? Are you okay???
Cole
Something really messed up just happened
Cole
All of the camp counselors are gone
Cole
And their beds are bloody
Cole
Like someone dumped a bucket of blood onto the blankets
Dad
Cole you need to call the police right now. This is serious
Dad
Do you hear me? What’s happening there?
Cole
Everyone’s freaking out
Dad
Has anyone called the police??
Cole
Yeah someone already did
Cole
They told us to stay put and that they’ll be here soon
Dad
The nearest police station is an hour away
Cole
Some of the kids are talking about grabbing the flashlights and running into the woods
Dad
Don’t leave the campsite Cole
Dad
Stay exactly where you are until the police arrive, OK?
Cole
They’re leaving right now
Dad
Stay put. Don’t follow them
Cole
What do you think happened to those counselors??
Cole
Do you think it could’ve been an animal or something?
Cole
It’s just weird that their bodies are nowhere to be found
Dad
I don’t know Cole but just remain calm. The police will be there soon
Cole
I’m really freaked out dad
Dad
I know son. Keep your head down and breathe in and out
Cole
There’s screaming coming from the woods
Cole
It sounds like they’re being hurt or something
Cole
Like they’re being attacked
Dad
The number one priority right now is for you to remain safe
Dad
Tell me everything that’s going on around you right now
Cole
We’re all huddled together
Cole
People are crying and really scared
Cole
Some kids are running away
Cole
Dad am I going to die?
Dad
No son, you’re not going to die
Dad
Nothing’s going to happen to you
Cole
Something’s coming out of the woods
Dad
Find someplace to hide and stay there
Dad
I repeat, stay there and do not move at all
Cole
I just crawled underneath a bed
Cole
There’s screaming coming from the campsite, I think whatever it is that came out of the woods is here now
Cole
Oh my God dad it’s about to come into my tent
Dad
Whatever you do, stay as silent and still as possible
Cole
Dad I think I’m going to be sick
Cole
Its feet looked human
Cole
But it was making this noise that didn’t sound like anything I’ve ever heard
Cole
I need to get out of here
Dad
Stay underneath that bed Cole
Cole
I want to get out of here
Dad
You’re going to endanger yourself
Dad
Please just be patient
Cole
NO DAD I DON’T WANT TO STAY HERE FOR ONE MORE MINUTE
Dad
Where are you going to go?
Cole
I’m gonna find my way back to the town and find help
Dad
Cole please stay underneath that bed
Cole
I’m already in the woods
Cole
I’m getting out the way we came in
Dad
What about that thing you saw
Dad
You don’t see it anywhere?
Cole
It’s just me right now
Dad
OK please keep texting me so I know you’re alive
Cole
The branches keep getting in my eyes
Cole
It’s weirdly quiet in here
Dad
I hope you’re not thinking of crossing it
Cole
I need to cross it dad
Cole
It’s the only way I can get help
Dad
Cole do you hear me? Don’t you dare swim across that lake
Dad
COLE??? ANSWER ME IF YOU’RE THERE
Dad
You scared the living daylights out of me
Cole
I’m about to pass by that cabin
Cole
There’s a death rattle coming from the woods
