Gaze into the edge of the abyss

My daughter had been telling me that a ‘strange looking man’ had been talking to her from the upstairs window for about a week now. She’s six, so I figured it was just her imagination. After all, how would anybody be capable of reaching a two story window, let alone not be noticed at least once? I humored her, and asked what he looked and sounded like. Needless to say, what she described put me on edge, and honestly weirded me out. Despite my growing concern, it was all but too late. Just last night, I found her—lifeless in bed, the life sucked out of her from a horrific wound inflicted on her head. I rushed downstairs, only to look up and find the culprit; who seemingly phased from thin air to confront me. It would mock me for my ignorance, all the way smiling with a face that did not belong to even the darkest pits of the abyss.

Rumors have been going around that several apple orchards in northern Michigan has been closed due to concerns of several people going missing in their cornfield attractions in broad daylight. Reasons for this are up in the air, but locals suspect that the owners may be up to something that is linked to the disappearances. Several children who live by and have been in these mazes, have claimed to have made friends with something they refer to only as ‘The Limb Snatcher’. They passed it off as nothing but a mere joke, a typical urban legend in the making, but what they described was not only brutal, terrifying, and outright disturbing, but what would later be found in the following investigation would cause a massive coverup enforced by the stars with all indignation tracing back to these incidents being erased. All documents with information on what they reported are to this day still being recovered.

I knew something was off, it was as if something had ransacked my home. Papers on the floor, counter completely destroyed—it was a nightmare. Though, come to think of it, while as bad as that was just at first glance, nothing will quite get me like it was upon seeing something standing there behind me, reaching its arm out silently.
