THE RAWGRA

Welcome to my EERIE-EDITION #90 OF CREEPS CASTLE, Kiddies! I, your EERIE-ENGINEER, CREEPS, am HACK to take you all on a TRAIN OF TERROR through my CASTLE FEAR I mean here heh-heh. So, let me CONDUCT our FIRST FRIGHT TRAIN FABLE, about a boy, who's a SPEWCOMER in town, and encounters...

Two boys were riding their bikes down a hill on a sidewalk, over within the town of Green Creek, Maine, back in the Fall of 1915 one morning. "Let me show you around Green Creek here, Sam" one boy said to the other one. "Hey, thanks, David. You're my first brand new Friend here. Ma, Pa and I just moved here last night" Sam replied to him. "Gee, thanks Sam. Glad to have you and your Folks here" David told him, smiling. Sam and David made it downtown and to a store on the corner of a street. Two teenage bullies came out of the store then and blocked David and Sam’s way. "Howdy, David ya jerk!" one of the teenage bullies said to him meanly. "Hey, Ronald, he's got another jerk with him" the second teenage bully said to the first one. "Yeah, Billy, he does" Ronald replied to him, looking at Sam. "Hey, fellas, give Sam a break please. He just moved into town here" David said to Ronald and Billy. "Oh, we'll give Sam a break. We'll break his neck" Ronald said to David. Ronald and Billy looked at Sam then, and Sam frowned nervously. Then, he and David rode quickly across the street and the bullies chased them.

As the boys rode fast through downtown-Green Creek, the bullies ran as fast as they could. The boys turned at the corner of the other sidewalk, and made it to an old abandoned house. They stopped their bikes and ran up, onto the front porch together then. "Those fellas are bullies, Sam. They beat poor Second Graders up and First Graders as well sadly. Why, we still have to deal with them as Sixth Graders unfortunately" David explained to him. "Gee, David, that is tough" he replied to him. Ronald and Billy ran around the corner and reached the abandoned-home. The boys saw them and ran into the home through the doorway, where the front door was partially-opened. David and Sam hid in the shadowy-hallway on the left-hand-side passed a staircase leading upwards. Upstairs, the sound of high-pitched-shrieking was heard suddenly, causing the boys to jerk in fright and look up. The bullies stepped into the house and made it to the steps. Billy looked upstairs. Then he and Ronald walked passed the staircase and into the shadows of the hall. They saw David and Sam in the hallway and Billy grabbed Sam's arms, with Ronald grabbing David's arms. "Nobody ever comes in here you idiots. So, Billy and I don't want you in our town here, Sam" Ronald said to him meanly. "Yeah, let's just kill them Ronald" Billy suggested to Ronald. "Hey, two less jerks we have to deal with, Billy. You morons will rot in here for weeks" he replied to Billy, then said to David and Sam. Billy grabbed a fireplace poker from off a side-table and put it up to Sam's throat, as he and David gasped in fear.

The high-pitched-shrieking came downstairs and into the shadowy-hallway. Billy, Ronald, David and Sam looked at what was shrieking, seeing a six-foot-tall amphibian-like monster, with red flesh, cream-yellow eyes with no pupils in them, gold bumpy membranes across its shoulders, and another gold bumpy membrane sticking out of the sides of its head. The violet veiny thing was bald and also had blue membranes across its armpits that had black lines running through them, and it also had a few golden freckles. The red skinned-monster eerily shrieked with its cream-colored teeth showing. The boys and the bullies screamed in terror and it clutched Billy by the side of his head, with its long, red fingers. Billy dropped the poker and the monster bit his head, muffling his screams. Ronald, David and Sam ran out the door. The shrieks of the monster were heard outside the abandoned home, as the bully ran across the street and the boys got on their bicycles.

The following day, the boys rode their bikes into downtown together. "Gee, David, what was that monster that got Billy yesterday?" Sam asked him. "That is known as The Rawgra Sam. It is an amphibian-like neematoad-monster that sleeps for a century, and then wakes up" David replied. "The Rawgra has been here since the First Settlers came and founded Green Creek here, back in 1715. The neematoad-monster hides and only eats bad people alive" he explained to Sam. Sam and David turned the corner and reached the old abandoned house, peddling by it. They looked and there was the dead skeleton of Billy sitting on the floor of the front porch, by the front door. The boys gasped in fear and surprise and peddled away faster. "It ate Billy alive!" Sam said. "Yep it did" David replied, agreeing. Ronald was walking up the sidewalk towards David and Sam, with his hand in his jacket-pocket. The bully threw a large rock at Sam, it hit his bike, causing Sam to wreck into the fence and fall onto the sidewalk, screaming in pain and fear. The bully ran up to him, and stood over him. As David got off of his bike and rushed over to Sam, Ronald pulled his hand out of his jacket-pocket, pulling a pistol out of it as well. He aimed it down at Sam and David gasped in surprise and fear at the sight.

"You're dead you freak!!" Ronald said to Sam, looking down at him, as he laid on his side. David quickly picked up the rock that Ronald threw at Sam's bicycle and tossed it at the bully, causing it to hit his arm and knock the pistol out of his hand. Ronald yelled in pain, grabbing his arm. David helped Sam to his feet and they ran for it. A gunshot was heard behind them as they ran and they both gasped in fear. There was an old man who was standing at the end of the sidewalk by the abandoned house and the boys stopped in front of him then. "Boys, what seems to be the matter? I can help you" he said to them. "A bully is trying to shoot us sir!!" Sam replied to him, panting. The old man's curly, short white hair blew within the Fall-wind, and he saw Ronald running up the sidewalk. The old man walked in between David and Sam in his long navy-blue trench-coat and black dress-shoes, then his skin became red, as he transformed into The Rawgra. The boys gasped in surprised-horror at the neematoad-monster, and when the bully ran up to it, it attacked him suddenly, biting Ronald's face, as he screamed in surprised-horror and pain then. The pistol went off, firing up, into the air and Ronald dropped it then. As Sam and David saw the red back of The Rawgra and its membranes, the thing shrieked and sounds of eating were heard from it. The boys ran to their bikes down the sidewalk and rode them back up to the end of the sidewalk and street. They heard The Rawgra within the slightly-opened-front door of the abandoned old house, shrieking and eating. The boys turned the street-corner and rode on. That evening, Sam and David rode back to the house and spied Ronald's dead skeleton sitting by Billy's on the porch.

Hee-Hee, well, talk about a SLIME OUT for PORCH Billy and Ronald, eh, BOYS AND GHOULS? Good thing The Rawgra helped poor Sam and David out and made it FRIGHT A SHRIEKEND FOR THEM ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!in their town of GREEN SHRIEK, MAINE heh-heh!
