theveryworstthing:REMwolf: The Morriss Dragon“Oh My God. I can’t believe you’re trying to sell me on the old ‘backwoods cryptid’ story. The Morriss Dragon was old as dirt, it probably died when we were in middle school!”“Calm down dude. In the dark-”“Rey.”The young man points out at the dirt road illuminated by headlights. They had stopped for the deer and had stayed stopped after the serpentine creature had crawled onto the road and gently prodded the doe until she unfroze and walked back into the trees. It had nodded to the truck, not avoiding the light as it slunk away, staying just long enough for him to be sure he knew what he was looking at. His cousin had snatched up his phone before he could put the call through. “That was a werewolf Rey.”“That,” Rey said, looking him dead in the eyes with the kind of powerful ‘shut up’ aura that usually had people remembering better things to do, “was someone that doesn’t hurt nobody Paul. There’s no need to get hysterical, they just wander the roads every once in a while shooing animals away. Its not like anybody’s been mauled.” “Nobody’s been mauled YET,” Paul hisses, reaching for his phone again. “Who knows what that thing has contaminated?! I know this is out in the sticks and you people think indoor plumbing is witchcraft, but those things are D A N G E R O U S. We gotta get the authorities down here befo-”The hand suddenly clamped around his wrist has a surprising amount of pressure for such a small man. Paul swears he can feel his fingertips go cold as the joints pop. Rey speaks to him like he wants to be yelling, which is actually a little more terrifying than being yelled at.“You bring ANY of those-” Pause. Deep breath. Attempt at non murder-based facial expression. “…Just …Don’t. Just be cool for once okay? Don’t fuck things up for everybody this one time.” They drive the rest of the way to grandma’s house in silence.Paul does not ask for the phone back. The birthday party is notably awkward.
