The Screams Of The Desert-Man

Oh, hia boys and GHOULS! I was watching one of my favorites shows: LITTLE HOUSE ON THE SCARY aha-ha-ha-ha-ha. I love the western genre, GHOSTLY JOHN SLAIN MOVIES hee-hee-hee. OF CORPSE, I have another HEART-WORMING-WESTERN for you, about a Family who keep FEARING I mean HEARING...

Back on a hot day out, in the desert of Colorado, a boy walked out of a barn on a ranch, back in the June of 1945. He carried a bucket of milk and walked passed chickens in the barnyard. Suddenly, the sounds of high-pitched-screaming was heard within the distance and the boy gasped and turned around then. "Ralph, it's alright boy. That is The Desert-Man" an old woman said to the boy. As she sat in a rocking-chair, rocking back and forth in it, Ralph ran to her up, on the front porch of the farmhouse. "The Desert-Man sounds scary, Grandma Blueman!" Ralph replied to her. "Yes, he sure does indeed boy. I saw him when I was twelve years old, your age, and I have never seen anything on this Earth more terrifying" Grandma Blueman told him. The eerie, high-pitched-screaming of The Desert-Man was heard again and both Ralph and Grandma Blueman shivered and gasped in fright together. An old man came out, onto the porch and gave Grandma Blueman a kiss on her cheek. "Howdy, honey. I heard that thing screaming too" he said to Grandma Blueman. "Yes, Roger, The Desert-Man is coming dear" Grandma Blueman replied to him. "We'll catch it honey!" Roger said to her. "Yeah, Mother. Ralph, Father and I will" a man said to Grandma Blueman, coming out, onto the porch then. "Let's go Son" Roger said to the man. "Yeah, Dad, let's go get that monster. Come on Grandpa Roger " Ralph said to the man and then to Roger. "Okay Ralph!" his dad and Grandpa Roger replied and the three got into a car and Ralph's dad drove off. Grandma Blueman stood up and grabbed the pail of milk, and took it into the farmhouse.

Ralph's dad drove into a town and parked by a general store. "Take your time, Lou. We'll be alright" Grandpa Roger said to Ralph's dad. "Okay Father" Lou replied and got out of the car. Lou went into the general store then and two teenage bullies walked across the street to the car. The got to Ralph's side of the automobile and the boy looked out the car-window which was rolled down. "Howdy, Ralph Blueman you jerk. Thanks to you, we have to go to Summer School for copying your English papers all year" one of the bullies said to him, angrily and meanly. "Ah, come on, Dean. You guys were cheating!" Ralph Blueman replied to the teenage bully. "We'll slug ya jerk" the other bully said to Ralph. "Not a bad idea Oliver" Dean said to the second bully. Grandpa Roger got out of the car and faced Dean and Oliver. "You boys just run along now and leave my Grandson here alone" he said to them, sternly. "Oh, yeah, mister" Oliver and Dean replied to him. "Yes, or I'll go get the police" Grandpa Roger threatened. Oliver and Dean looked at him angrily and took off. Lou walked out of the general store, carrying two cigars and two bottles of Ripple. "Gee, thanks Grandpa Roger!" Ralph said to him, smiling. "You're welcome Ralph" he replied, smiling back at him. Grandpa Roger and Lou both got back into the car and Lou pulled a Hershey Bar out of his shirt-pocket. He handed it back to Ralph. As Lou drove away, the teens turned around and chased the automobile.

Meanwhile, the high-pitched-screaming of The Desert-Man was heard in the distance from the west beyond the town. Grandpa Roger and Lou smoked cigars and Ralph ate the Hershey Bar, as Lou drove out of town. Out, in the distance, there was a humanoid-creature with a swine-like head. It was dressed in a black cloak, and also had longer straight hair of black. Its flesh was a red color and the creature's eyes glowed-yellow. It let out the high-pitched-scream, being The Desert-Man, as it walked through the desert eastward. The monster had long, curvy white claws on its fingertips that were razor-sharp. Lou parked on the side of the road out, in the desert and he, Grandpa Roger and Ralph got out of the vehicle. That night, a big tent sat a few feet away from the road and the Station Wagon. Grandpa Roger, Lou and Ralph all sat around a campfire a few feet away from the tent on rocks and Grandpa Roger and Lou each drank a bottle of Ripple. As Ralph Blueman roasted a marshmallow over the campfire, the eerie high-pitched-screams of The Desert-Man was heard nearby within the darkness. As the three of them looked westward, the monster came into the light of the campfire, its yellow-eyes gleaming eerily. Ralph screamed in horror, standing up immediately, while both Lou and Grandpa Roger gasped in horror and stood up immediately as well. Lou pulled a pistol out of the pocket of his trousers, and aimed it at The Desert-Man. The white claws of the thing clutched Ralph's arm and Lou shot it right in its the side of its pig-like face. Ralph screamed and it let go of his arm, letting out a loud scream of pain, yellow slime oozed out of its cheek, as the thing put a clawed-hand on it. Ralph ran to his dad and Grandpa Roger. Grandpa Roger pulled another pistol out of the pocket of his overalls. The Desert-Man showed long, white fangs and let out another scream, coming towards the three of them.

Grandpa Roger aimed his pistol at the monster and shot it right in its shoulder, causing it to scream out in more pain, and causing more yellow slime to ooze out of its bullet-wound. The Desert-Man fell backwards to the ground and halfway into the darkness. The bullies came into the light of the campfire and Dean quickly punched Ralph in his stomach then. Ralph clutched his stomach, gasping in pain and coughed. The bully put his arm around the boy, holding him tight. Dean put a pocket knife by Ralph Blueman's throat. Lou and Grandpa Roger gasped in surprise and fear. Oliver also pointed another pocket-knife towards the boy's throat. "DO NOT EVEN SHOOT BOTH OF YA! I WILL SLIT HIS THROAT, AND IF I MISS IT, OLIVER WILL!!" Dean threatened to Lou and Grandpa Roger. Both Lou and Grandpa Roger dropped their guns on the ground. But Oliver was about to slit Ralph's throat anyways. The Desert-Man wrapped its white-clawed-hands around Oliver's head suddenly, and jerked it into the darkness, causing the bully to gasp in surprise, dropping the knife then. The monster pulled the rest of the bully into the darkness. Dean pulled his pocket-knife away from Ralph Blueman's throat and he stared at the monster, glowing-eyes of yellow move from side to side in the dark, as it let out another high-pitched scream. Then, Dean, Ralph, Grandpa Roger and Lou all heard Oliver let out a scream, followed by sounds of eating. Dean let go of Ralph's arm and aimed his knife towards the sounds of eating and ripping clothes.

As Dean, Ralph, Lou and Grandpa Roger all stood by the campfire with wide-eyes, the teenage bully lunged into the dark at The Desert-Man's glowing-yellow-eyes. He plunged his knife into the shadowy-figure of the humanoid-monster, stabbing it within its wounded-cheek. The shadowy-thing screamed out in more pain and clutched Dean's throat, as more slime of yellow continued to ooze out of its cheek-wound. Ralph, Lou and Grandpa Roger scurried into the big tent, as more sounds of eating were heard from beyond the campfire within the darkness. A half hour later, Grandpa Roger peeked his head out of their tent. The dead skeletons of Dean and Oliver flew out of the darkness and into the light of the campfire, landing on the ground, dressed in their torn clothes. Grandpa Roger gasped in surprise and fear. Then he and Lou hesitantly crept out of the tent together, slowly and quietly. They picked up their pistols from the ground and The Desert-Man walked into the glow of the campfire suddenly. Lou and his father shot the thing right in its red-skinned-forehead, causing it to eerily scream out in more pain, yellow slime still oozing out of its bullet-wounds in its right cheek and shoulder. As more slime of yellow oozed out of The desert-Man's wounds in its forehead, the monster fell backwards to the ground, again. "I think we both killed The Desert-Man, Son!" Grandpa Roger said to Lou, as they stared, leaning into the dark, over the still-humanoid-monster. "Yep, Dad, we did this time!" Lou said back, agreeing with him. Lou, Grandpa Roger and Ralph all carried the murdered Desert-Man over to a crate and put it down into it. Then Grandpa Roger shut it and Lou handed him two padlocks. "Thanks Lou!" Grandpa Roger said to him, smiling. He padlocked the crate within the light of the campfire.

The following morning, Lou pulled his Station Wagon onto the shore of a pond behind their ranch. Ralph Blueman, Grandpa Roger and Lou got out of the car and Grandpa Roger stood, looking at the pond. Grandma Blueman and a woman walked over to the shore of the pond then. Lou and Ralph Blueman pulled the crate out the back of Lou’s Station Wagon and carried it to the pond together. Grandma Blueman and the woman walked over to Grandpa Roger and Grandma Blueman hugged him and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Lou and Ralph dropped the crate down into the pond, and it sank into the water slowly as they sighed in relief and wiped their foreheads. "Roger, you, Lou and Ralph did it! For fifty-nine years, The Desert-Man has been looking for me, ever since I was Ralph's age of twelve. That thing became hungry for me when it saw me those many years ago" Grandma Blueman said to Grandpa Roger. "Yes, Berta dear, we killed it. Our Son Lou and I shot the monster in its forehead with our pistols!" he replied to her, and kissed her on the cheek. Lou walked over and hugged the woman. "Oh, you three did it, Lou darling!" she said to him. "Yes we did indeed Dana my love" Lou replied to her and kissed her on the lips. Ralph ran over to Lou, Dana, Grandpa Roger and Grandma Blueman. "I am proud of all of you" Grandma Blueman said to Lou, Grandpa Roger and Ralph. "Thanks, Grandma Blueman" Ralph replied. "Thanks Mom" Lou said to her and hugged her. "Thanks Berta" Grandpa Roger said to her. "Mom, we did it!!" Ralph Blueman said to Dana. "I am proud of all of you too, Ralph" she replied, hugging him. Grandpa Roger got a harmonica out of his shirt-pocket and played: "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean" on it.

Well, that ending was CRATE kids aha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Ralph Blueman, Lou and Grandpa Roger saw The Desert-Man give poor Dean and Oliver their JUST DESERTS hee-hee-hee-hee!
