RuSH: The Rural Squirrel Horror

by AJ Berea

"Lightning crashed once more. Twenty pairs of beady eyes stared down from on high. Red, flaming pupils forged in Hephaestus’ fire. The terror Paisley had suppressed for so long finally gurgled from her slender throat, splitting the air like the shriek of a wounded pig. Even using all the breath in her lungs, the scream still wasn’t loud enough to block out the clickity clack of the squirrels’ teeth that clattered down into her ears, a chattering which sounded suspiciously to her like Morse Code for Paisley. Genesis. Haverford." Evil lurks in the treetops and hollow logs of Chippers Station, Pennsylvania. Fuzzy, furry, friendly but with an impure heart. First, acorns start disappearing. Then, peanuts, popcorn, and finally people. Could it be the work of the town’s bushiest-tailed rodentia, or is something more sinister afoot? Sheriff Jeremiah is on the case, leaving no leaf unturned and no suspect untased. With two high school seniors by his side, the sheriff finds himself in an epic battle to save his town from the nefarious presence lurking in the woods.
