Tell The Raven Archives

Once I was walking in the woods. I saw a creature. It was small but it had sharp teeth. It looked mean so I kept walking. It started following me.

So it jumped on my back saying, Hi hi hi hi hi hi, said the thing.

Leave me alone, I said. So he just stayed on my back all the way home which was a mile away.

Get in my back pack, ok, I said.

Ok, said the thing.

I went on to a website called The Things. They do not like light because they will shrivel up and die and turn to goop. This is all that was on the website.

So one day the thing was gone under the bed. I could not find him but then he was in my room and I was happy, so I named him Bob. He got really happy, so he took me to his world. It was really weird. Well, that's what I thought. In his world he can jump as high as a sky scraper. In his world there was only one dangerous thing. It was called the thing from down below, which is as big as a giant elephant. It had teeth like a t-rex and two teeth like a saber tooth tiger. It looked like a monkey but it can turn small. He can also swim and fly and turn invisible and it eats the things.

And it is always hungry. It eats 1000 times a day. It can eat other things called the gods. There is a river where the thing down below lives. When the things want something to drink they drink from the river.
