Summary
Everyone who lived in this little settlement knew the story about the monster who lived in the woods. It preys on the souls who ventures into the dark, and any that strays too far from home. They even hold a festival every Hallows Eve which pays sacrifice to the beast, in hopes that it never enters the village again. Jack wasn’t alive when it happened, but it’s said that there was a great massacre in their village when it was newly established. Since then the population has almost doubled, despite having to sacrifice a person each year. Hallows Eve is just a month away, and the sacrificial person has yet to be chosen. A name will be drawn at the first day of the month, and that person will begin a ritual of fasting and cleansing. They’ll then be taken out to the woods and left tied to a stake. No sacrifice has ever made it back to the village, and they have never been heard from again.
