The Scarecrow Counts to Twelve
horrorEveryone5 contributors · 5 paragraphs deep
The scarecrow lets go and points its arm out across the valley, but this time at no house at all, just the empty road. "Walk it," it whispers. "Bring back what you find and the count resets to zero." Wren steps onto the road, alone, with the silent field at their back.
The road loops back to the field. Wren has been walking in a circle the whole time. The scarecrow is waiting, smile a little wider. "You found what you were looking for," it says. "You found you can't leave." Wren turns to run, but the road behind them is gone, just endless field in every direction.
