MythNight

Scene 18d

Setting/Action - a small, cozy cabin in the north woods of Idaho.  A fresh layer of snow covers the ground. The air is cold and still.  The cabin has a fire in the fireplace. The hearth warms the floor and the love-seat couch sitting in front of the smoldering wood.  Three friends (Charlotte, Brandon, Troy) are hanging out around the fire and chatting. We are coming in on the middle of their conversation about the haunted woods that they are currently in.

Charlotte -  haha, come on guys, you know I don’t believe in that sort of stuff…Those are just myths...

Brandon - it’s true Charlotte!  My grandfather has been talking about these haunted woods for as long as I can remember!

Charlotte - I don’t care how long you have been talking about it - I am NOT going to listen.

Brandon - what….are you scared?

Charlotte - scared!?  Of what?!? Your story of a haunted “cylinder” that floats around through the woods at night and attacks those who cross it’s path!  Please - I am not afraid of any cylinders!

Brandon - but this is not just a regular cylinder - this is an 8-inch long cylinder - a cylinder that pulsates and vibrates - a cylinder that has fleshy - almost human-like skin

Charlotte - *gulp*...8 inches...that’s really long...how, how did it get it’s fleshy, human-like skin?

Troy - According to local lore, it gets its fleshy exterior from its victims - each victim adds another layer - making it thicker and thicker!

Charlotte - wow...Brandon, can I sleep with you tonight…?

Brandon - Hey - I thought you didn’t believe in ghosts!

Troy - yeah - I didn’t think you believe in that sort of stuff!

Brandon - shut up Troy!  Charlotte - of course you can sleep with me.

Charlotte - Thanks Brandon...and I still don’t believe in floating cylinders….but, just in case...I am really nervous of 8 inches…

Troy - You know...if you want to be really safe Charlotte, I guess….I could sleep with you two as well.

Brandon - ahhh….come on Troy - that is a total party foul

Charlotte-  Ohh...that is so sweet, thank you Troy, I think I would like that too!

Brandon - ugh….you just stay on your side of the bed!

Charlotte - oh boys!  Don’t start fighting now!  I will be in the middle - Troy, you sleep with your head at my feet - Brandon you sleep with your head near mine.

Brandon/Troy - Excellent!

Troy - What about our clothes?  I don’t want that cylinder to take my skin while I sleep!

Brandon - you got a point there.  What should we do Charlotte?

Charlotte - well...I only have my panties and bra...so I will sleep in that...so you boys are going to have to completely cover yourself in clothes and then hold me tight all night.
