A Campfire Story By Dawn Rucker
I think we all heard tells of the place that was and the creatures that roamed the wilds. But you know one
such monster was said to eat thousands of people every day.
It tunneled through the ground like a Dirt Trog. It could see in the dark and even better during the day. Some
were so fast they were a blur as they ran past, and their howl was deafening.
So, if it was so loud, how did it catch anyone? Why couldn’t they hear it coming? Why didn’t they hide?
That was the worst part… its eyes. They say if you looked at it, you were hypnotized and just went straight in.
People would even fight to be first.
They left their tracks all over the world, and if you could learn to avoid them, you might survive them. They
went by many names but the main ones were called waysubs and wayrales.
Now, we have a lot of dangerous beasts to deal with but I’m glad there ain’t no wayrales here. Of course, it’s
a big world, and maybe we just don’t know yet what followed us from there. Can’t never tell.
