My interpretation of “something goes wrong on a hike” is pretty loose for this one. But I had an idea last night and ran with it. It’s short and sweet(?). Hope you enjoy!

@rckthewriter I get why you decided to write the Elmo one now. Perfect execution? :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

@allihawk Oh, this was really good too! This is one that I feel the word count is against because I really want to know more.

@mdnail Simple and sweet. Also makes me want to make soup.

@mdnail This one was such a wild ride. I liked Julian’s voice the most and couldn’t help reading his voice in a stereotypical royal knight. I, Sir Julian!

@allihawk Just catching up and reading all the stories and OMG this one was so creepy! You did a really good job.

@melanie Laughed out loud to this line, “Later in the day, the sign, mangled, turned up at the front door, along with a note. The note was two pages long, typed in all capitals.”

Thank you for sharing this. I’m enjoying reading this so very much!
