Moebid Morsals Season 2. Episode 12 Bark at the Moon

The Shadow Dweller Season 2 Episode 12

When disturbing blackouts, blood-soaked awakenings, and haunting visions of the hunt begin to blur the line between man and monster, one man records his descent into madness—or transformation. Journal Entry #1 is the chilling first step into a terrifying mystery of identity, fear, and the darkness that may be lurking within.

Hello, my friend.

SPEAKER_06:

And how is it that you stumbled into my caverns of the miss? I am ancient. I am forever. And I have been changed out here. I am a shadow dwelling. I've been here for years in collecting stories. I will tell you the tale to pass the time. Short stories of horror. Tiny tales of the creepy. I will assure you by the end you'll be screaming with madness. Morbid morsels is a new chapter of terror. A shorter tale of madness. To let's just say, carry your tremendous suffering over to the longer, fuller episodes. Your torment endless suffering has helped me go stronger. To reunite my brothers once again to open the portal from here, the nether realm to your. To release darkness and chaos upon all mankind. We have grown stronger by passing these tales of madness onto you. Not only will we feast on your souls, but we will unleash hell on earth. New chapters of fear. Remember, your dark thoughts lead you to me. I won't have to find you. It will be you that seeks me out of the world.

SPEAKER_03:

I I wake up in strange places. The alley behind my apartment, the woods outside town, always naked, always covered in blood, blackout, lose hours, sometimes a whole night. And the dreams. God, the dreams, running through the woods on all fours. I've never felt so free. Hunting the taste of raw flesh and blood in my mouth. The dreams seem so real. A few nights ago, I woke up next to a slaughtered deer. It had been completely gunned. I vomited up blood and chunks of flesh on the grass. What the fuck is going on? Remember what happened. How did I even get there? That is all a blur. God, my fucking head is dropping. And where the hell were my clothes? I needed to get the hell out of there fast. If I did this, then I'm even more fucked up than I thought. Trauma manifesting in violent episodes, sometimes causing audio and visual hallucinations. But I don't remember any trauma in my life. I wasn't abused. No PTSD, don't think there's anyone in my family's history about anyone being fucking crazy. Of course, you prescribed me a shit ton of pills to take. I don't know if they're working or not. Make me feel like a goddamn zombie. I think, I think I might be losing my mind. Another body. That makes three murders this week. They think it could be a serial killer on the loose, or a wild animal attack. The news says they found her body near the park. It was a jogger in her 30s, and she was ripped apart. Blood and what's left of her were scattered along a hiking trail. They won't release a lot of details. All they said was for people to report anything strange, and that they were investigating the murder cases. But I already know. I can see it in my head. Glimpses and flashes mostly, like a bad dream. I feel like I'm there, but at the same time, it isn't me. Try not to sleep, but I can feel something inside me, pushing, clawing at the walls of my mind, a hunger I can't describe, an animalistic urge to hunt and defeat. But I'm not some wild animal, I'm just me, David. I went to Dr. Lennox today. I told him I was afraid I might hurt someone. I explained the headaches are getting worse, and my so-called delusions are getting out of control. I told him that I think I'm a monster, commenting these murders. That I think it might be me. Dr. Lennox, I know this is going to sound nuts, but I think, I think I'm a werewolf, I told him. I know that sounds impossible, but it would explain what I believe is happening to me. My blackouts, my taste for flesh, my desire to hunt. The actually feeling like a predator, like a beast, like a werewolf.

unknown:

Dr.

SPEAKER_03:

Lennox looked at me quite seriously and nodded his head. He scribbled something down in his little notebook.

SPEAKER_00:

You believe to be some kind of animal, a lichen throat, a werewolf as you put it. I think your condition is far much worse than I had initially realized.

SPEAKER_03:

He gave me more pills, stronger than the first batch. But I can't be committed. Not yet. I need to know the truth. I need to know if I'm going crazy, and my altered personality is committing these murders, which is basically me, or I really transform into a fucking werewolf. Feeling pretty fucked up. I also handcuffed myself to the back just to make sure I can't get out. To stop myself from killing again. If it's actually me at all, there's a full moon tonight. Even though I'm doped up, I can feel it. I can feel the urge stirring deep inside. I'm afraid I'm gonna lose control. The police are watching me. They're parked outside my apartment. They know, they finally suspect it's me. I'm pretty sure, Doctor. Lennox broke the doctor patient code and had the cops keep tabs on me. They'll charge me for these murders. Catch me in the act. They already have enough on, I think that they'll have a warrant for my arrest. But it's too late, too late for them, too late for me, too late for my next victim.

SPEAKER_05:

Police! Open up!

SPEAKER_03:

It's happening again. I can't fight it anymore.

SPEAKER_02:

I can feel it, it's coming. My teeth ache, my head is pounding. I'm going to change. David Thompson, we have a warrant for you for the murders of Lisa Simmons, Alex Williams, and Toyna Crestwood. You are under arrest. Don't fucking move, or I'll blow your fucking brains out.

SPEAKER_01:

What the fuck? This nutcase handcuffed himself to the bed. Where's the key? We're taking you in.

SPEAKER_04:

The moonlight poured in David's apartment windows. The cops had their guns pointed at him as David began thrashing on the bed.

SPEAKER_02:

Jesus Christ, this guy is whacked out of his mind. Look at all these prescriptions.

SPEAKER_04:

David began screaming in pain as his body began to contort, bones cracking, his back arching up like a cat. His fingernails began to grow into yellow claws. Guttural growls and grunts filled the room. His canine teeth pushed forward out of his mouth into sharp points. His nose stretched, resembling a dog or wolf's snout. Hair was growing out of his arms and face. His clothes began to rip and tear as his muscles bulged and shifted. His ears began elongating point up. The eyes turned amber yellow as Sylvia dripped from the beast's mouth.

SPEAKER_01:

Shoot it, shoot it.

SPEAKER_02:

I can't believe what I'm looking at. This is officers Chris and Hudson. We need some fucking background.

SPEAKER_04:

The creature threw its head back and howled at the moon. Before the first officer had a chance to pull his gun, it was already on him. His claws tore open his chest as it ripped its throat out with his razor-sharp teeth. A muffled scream escaped from the cop, and his body fell to the floor. The other cop stared at the thing that had just killed his partner. With shaking hands, he pulled his gun on it. He fired two rounds into its chest. The werewolf growled and snarled at the man and looked into his eyes. The creature grabbed the policeman's arm and snapped it like a twig. His bone jutted out the other side of it. He screamed in pain. Then he sliced the man's face with its other claw. Four bloody gouges appeared, cutting through nerves and muscle. David opened the man's chest and pulled his heart out. He opened his mouth and ate it. He howled as he passed a mirror and he saw himself, covered in hair, teeth and claws, the ears. For a split second there was some recognition, and almost knowing that there was some humanity in there. Then he smashed the mirror and leaped out his apartment window, sending shards of glass to the streets down below. He took off down the street into the park woods. A chilling howl echoed off the buildings as dogs began to bark and whine.

SPEAKER_06:

Your top thoughts always lead you to me. So my friends, until next time, I will fall in the world.
