Spoon

by Kris J. Ryan

Derrick Danniel Megason clenched a spoon like a sword, a brave ten-year-old, innocent of the outcome. He disregarded what his mom had told him about the legend and the supernatural being he’d encounter. It all started fifty years ago at Hill Lake when Derrick’s grandparents, Emery Strong and Ester Paul, both sixteen, vowed their love. Unbeknownst to the teens, an evil supernatural being from another dimension observed them. It followed the teens and wreaked havoc in the town of Silverton. Blood writings appeared at homes where pets vanished. Manny Orray, Emery’s friend, gifted with psychic abilities, deciphered the writings drawn in pets’ blood—a call to battle. The time of the challenge is always twelve midnight. The weapon of the evil one is a three-pronged fork, its challenger’s weapon a spoon. The vehicle to get to the battle area in another dimension is the home marked by blood.
