Moonlight Over Bones in the River

Moonlight Over a Ruined Village

For tonight’s tale, we find ourselves back on the river road. Yet we are not alone. Far from it. We are members of a gang of likeminded malcontents who have finally decided to do something about the strange occurrences that have plagued the river road. They are going to go straight to source all of these occurrences. The entrance to the drainage tunnels. This is near the area where six of the village youths were found after their bones had been removed from their bodies. The charge is being led by the mysterious Rook, and by his side is the father of the solitary thug whose bones were removed from his body. They are both armed with rebar poles that they will gladly plunge straight into the softest parts of whoever dares to get in their way. With them is Sachiko, the enigmatic snake deity. She is joined by the town drunk, the professor and his consortium of ghosts, and the animate ventriloquist dummy who has recently graduated from cigarettes to cigars. They will go deep into the tunnels to confront whatever resides within. That will prove to be a very bad idea, for which they find themselves grossly ill-prepared. The only reason they don’t immediately regret it is because the tunnels are so long that it takes them forever to get to the center. Once there, they confront the oddity that lurks within the tunnels. This is the very same oddity that has been lurking on the river road, where it has been seen aggressively eating chicken, discarding bottles, and denying warrantee claims. This weirdo is more than ready for them, and they soon find themselves caught in the very center of his web. Bound and at his mercy, he forces them to confront their past indiscretions before delivering a shocking revelation that makes them all question what they’ve all been doing with their lives. For this is the evening that this collective of malcontents finally learn that their true enemies are not who they thought they were. This tale contains profanity, descriptions of violent crime, dark themes, supernatural entities, and characters mercilessly ridiculing people for their unconventional fashion choices. Listener discretion is advised.
