In my experience you won’t ever find nothin’ more useful than a bog. It hides many a sin, as they say. Oh yes.
Wait here long enough, they start coming back up. Might be only an arm that looks like a tree branch, of maybe an old femur with a bit of chain still on it. See, all of them in the city know about this place, know its usefulness.
And usually when they start to come up, it’s the work of city folks. They ain’t careful like we are out here.
They don’t know this place like we do.
Jezz, that gave me chills. What a story, I wouldn’t want to get lost around those parts.
Local knowledge is always a good thing. Maybe do some sub-contracting?
Very spine-chilling stuff. Great voice.
^^ Came here to say just that: great narrative voice; made me want to read on.
Great voice; I could easily form a picture of the narrator. Would be a great start to a longer story.
Gave me goosebumps and had me reading between the lines wondering just what those city folks did and all the secrets the bog is hiding. Such a great story and so much potential for more if you ever decide to revisit this idea!
Somebody needs to teach them city slickers how to tie a body down proper.
Nothing like getting a local to show you the ropes….
Creepy and evocative – great use of language and voice!
