Louis Reed , drives into the woods, at night. Far away from the town where no one can see what he had done.

He rethimitically tapped the wheel and rocked his head. On this darkness blanketed night , only this car could be found on this eerie , two-lane road.

The music playing , had a slow rythem and relaxing mood. Lokking out , he could tell that , he had reached a secluded part of the road. Not may drove on this road out of town as it held no particular destination.

It was laid down , fifty or so years ago to connect the town to a small forest , just out of town. Originally , the town management planned to make this small forest , an attraction , to pull tourists to town , and place this small place on the map.

However , not long after , the construction plan was scrapped and the road leading to the small forest left unfinished. No one knew why this was the case , strangly after a weak , the body of the mayor was found in the town sewers , horribly mangled and disfigured.

In this manner , the plans for the forest went down quitly , no one paid it any more attention to this matter.

It later became a place where brave teenagers frequently visited at night for a dare or challenge.

The road was a bit bumpy and rocky , Louis pulled over on the side of the road and stepped out.

His foot landed on mud, he didnt care , Louis came prepared, his feet were in a sturdy pair of rubber boots.

He suddenly rembered something and reached out into the car. Louis then fitted a pair of white rubber gloves , these you ould often see in hospitals.

Louis could stil hear the low music from the car stereo. He to the back and opened the trunk.

This 1973 Cadillac Sedan looked old and worn out , it even had a gross cigaratte smell. However it had a large trunk and a cool leather sits which were quite comfortable and so Louis liked it a bit.

He bought it off his last nighbour , an elderly Hispanic man , who moved to a larg city to be with his family , for practically peanuts.

That elder was in a hurry and reluctantly sold it to Louis , remebering his face that looked as if he wanted to cry while selling it , Louis shook his head and grinned.

A weirdly shaped trash plastc bag was in the trunk , a aluminium shovel lay next to it. There was also a third item, a hard hat light.

He took out the hard-hat-light and put it on , he pressed a button and the small torch on the side released its blinding white light , illuminating the trunk.

Louis could see his hot breath puffing out , he used his two hands and struggled to offload the plastic bag. He wasnt carful enough and the weird bag fell out of his hand and onto the muddy ground.

It produced a nasty sound when it fell , Louis angrily kicked the bag and took out the aluminium shovel. He cursed under his breath , crouching down , he took hold of the weird plastic bag and dragged it deeper into the woods.

If there was an observer and if it wasnt so dark, they could have spotted red substance that left a trail , lt lokked like a long serpent that coiled its way in to the woods, looking chilly and murderous.

However , there was no witness , it was dark and the trail would sooner or later disappear as the rain washed it away. Leaving no trace behind of its existence.

The bright moon was concealed within the dark clouds , there were few stars in the sky and hence little light went down to illuminte the night.

The tall trees looked like crooked demons and the darkness in the forest was oppressive and bone-chilling.

Damn why's it so heavy , while dragging the heavy bag , Louis continuosly cursed and complained. The small torch could only illuminate a few steps ahead , so Louis had to move slower and paid special attention to his surrounding.

A few years back some idiots got into an accident while illegaly hunting in this woods , they caused quite a hu-ha back then. Apperently one almost lost his life to his own fricking trap! The guys later cofessed that they didnt kno just how many traps they had set.

Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

This meant , at any time one was exploring this forest , one risked setting off a trap , getting hurt and maybe even death was not off the table.

A few unfortunate fools had set off such traps and had to be rushed to hospital a couple of times , giving the law-inforcement a headache , finally they closed off the forest. Now only daring teenagers , on a dare or crazy fools went into this woods.

Louis used the aluminium shovel to forge ahead and slowly moved deeper into the creepy forest. Thankfully there wasnt much undergrowth , if ther was he couldnt even begin to imagin the amount of efforts it would take to pull this heavy thing.

Although he was cautious , Louis wasnt scared or creeped out , he had done this many times.

Thinking up to here , he shook his head and silently dragged the plastic-bag.

Finding a relativly flat area , Louis finally stopped. He heaved in exhaustion and leaned against a tree.

The place was quite deep in the forest , it was a good place. Louis nodded and took the aluminium shovel he dropped.

Louis used all his strength and inserted the shovel into the ground. Thankfuly the earth was muddy and soft , Louis used his previous experience and began to dig.

Digging a hole was difficult , unlike in the movies or animes , it was exhausting and draining. Especially if one wanted to dig one two meters deep alone.

Cheking his watch , it as already mid-night. Louis peered into the deep hole and was finally satisfied. He sat down and took some time to catch his breath.

It really wasnt easy digging holes! Even if this wasnt his first time. Louis felt sweaty and dirty , he removed a handkerchief and used it to ipe his forehead.

He touched his pockets and shook his head , he had stoped smoking a while back , so of course he didnt have any sticks.

A smoke would be nice about now , Louis grineed and finally stood up.

He slowly walked to the strange plastic bag and looked down at it.

He sighed " Don blame me , blame your dumb luck." Thinking of the thing in the bag , Louis lightly cursed and gave it another kick.

Louis shook his head and scoffed " No thats just an excuse , but truely you shouldnt have done that when I was around."

After concluding his conversation with whatever thing that was in the bag , maybe to calm down his nerves or convince himself , Louis slowly dragged it to the hole.

This wasnt the first , it truely wasnt the first time however each time he got to this point , Louis still couldnt look directly at the bag he dragged behind him.

His hands shook vigrously and his dry forehead was again drenched in sweat , his mouth felt dry and his back was tensed.

However , strangely his mind was overwhelmingly calm and undisturbed , his thoughts flowed like water , as if he was in meditation.

Infact he didnt know why this was , but he knew it was the only thing which could have prepared him for what was to happen next.

From the shadows of the trees a starange thing stumbled out and stood a few metres in front of him.

Slightly taller than a hundred metres , dark green skin , a large head which looked disporportional on its small body.

The small body unclothed, except the croth area which was covered by a dirty loin.

It used one hand to cover its face from the blinding light of the torch its other hand tightly holding a sharp looking object.

Louis was amazed how calmy he was able to observe this weird looking creature. Infact he was too cam and collected , Louis calmy panicked in his head.

Indeed he was too calm , infront of what looked like a middle-schooler with a painted body. Wait no! A middle wouldnt be here now , Louis had numerous thoughts flash ny in is head.

It was as if time was still and he and this werid middle-schooler were frozen.

However , green child finally moved , it shrieked loudly and lounched itself at him.

Its shriek was ratling and squeeky , like a chalk forcefully drawn against a board or a pigs desperate cry before death.

Louis snapped out of it immediately he heard the sound , he released the plastic bag and dodged to the side.

The green middle-schooler didnt think he would dodged , it was somewhat unlucky.

It had use alot of strength to launch its body at him. Unable to stop or decrease its speed , it heavily smashed into a tree.

The impact produced a muffeled sound and the green middle-schooler groaned in pain as it stood up.

Louis also hastily got up , he looked at werid creature and then remebered something. He darted to the hole and picked up the aluminium shovel.

Louis frowned and observed the green thing , no , he shook his head and closely observed it again.

The small torch made its pointy ears visible , its bald head plus its bare feet ,adding all this it was green and short.

Louis was shocked " Isnt this a goblin "

Indeed it looked like a goblin , he read about and watched in cartoon and animes.

The goblin held its head in pain and finally faced him again. Its eyes were small and its large nose looked disgusting. It angrily growled at him and he could see its sharp and dirty teeth.

Louis finally confirmed that it was indded a goblin. He tightened his grip on the shovel and closely watched its every movement. His mind was calm and his body tense , ready to respond to any action.

The goblin released another shriek and charged at him , the sharp dagger looking object hidded to its side.

Momentarily , Louis' body relaxed , his body slouched down and he sidestepped.

However the goblins eye falshed murderously, it semmed to have prediced his actions and twisting its body it slashed towrads his escape path

To it didnt slash it , it actually used the dagger as a dart and threw it at him! Louis reacted quckly , he brought the shovel to the front and swung at the flying dagger.

Maybe it was thrown without much power or aim , the dagger was easily swatted away. However , it seemed as if the goblin had no intention to back away , infact this may have been its plan all along.

While he was still responding to the dagger attack , the goblin bolted and threw itself at him.

He couldnt evade! The goblin's small body heavily smased into him , their bodies producing muffeled noises.

For a small body the goblin had quite the weight and the two went down.

Louis moaned in pain , before he could react the goblin strutled him. However its eyes were immediately blinded by the small torch on Louis hat. It screeched angrily and hastily covered its eyes.

Louis knew this was his chance , he heavily shoved the goblin's small body off him. His hands blindly searched around and finally grapped someting. It was the shovel!

Holding the aluminum shovel , he sprang up and scowled at the small goblin.

It was still temporarily blind , he cautiously approached and using all his strength , smashed down on the goblin's head.

The sharp edge of the shovel was merciless and cut deep int its neck. The goblin was unprepared and shrieked painfully.

The goblin held its bleeding neck and dragged its body acroos the ground , attempting to escape.

Louis grimaced at the green liquid flowing from its neck and hardened his resolve.

He stuggered towards the crawling goblin and

brought the shovel down again. The goblin cried and shrieked in pain , its eyes turned to him , asking for mercy or perhaps a quicker death.

Louis paused and fell silent , the glow in the goblin's eye finally vanished , its small body was still , one of its hands held its neck.

Its face was still in pain and its eyes wide open in the terror of approaching death. Louis took a deep breath and stepped back , his grip was loose and the shovel in his hand fell to the ground.

This wasnt his first time , it truely wasnt , he had seen that same expression before , he had seen it more than once. However he was still not used to it! Who would be ?

His whole body shivered and his body relaxed However his mind was still calm, as if nothing could produce the slightest wave on its surface.

His mind was calm it was calm.

It was calm enough to observe the small , crimson number at the corner of his vision.

Louis paused and raised an eyebrow " finally a hundred "
