𝕬𝖈𝖊𝖕𝖍𝖆𝖑𝖔𝖚𝖘

𝕬𝖚𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖗: First time trying this.Have the snippet of my writing.

TW: Decapitated head?

Arms out, stalking my way forward. I felt like I was trying to move my way through a swamp. Unseeable roots coming out of nowhere. Thick fog coming up to my waist. Dark branches overhanging above. Whispering incoherent things within its shadowed bark.

A yelp, and rapid shots sounded off from somewhere. Echoing throughout the forest while I halted my moment. Ears straining to pick up anything my other senses couldn’t. A faint thudding was heard before it faded out.

The hair on the back of my neck suddenly rose. My gut growing heavy, telling me something just isn’t right with this forest anymore as it became eerily silent.

Despite my gut telling me to flee. I crouched in my place, alert. Trying to decipher what the hell just happened through the fog. Trying to justify the reason not to run.

Did someone just surprise themselves with a tree and shot at it? Did they get scared by an animal and shoot at it in defense?

Quickly moving my back up against a tree. I held my breath as the same thudding from before came back louder. Heavier. My eyes blindly trying to search through the dark fog for the source. Seeing nothing but the grayish-blue of the fog and moonlight combined.

Exhaling slowly, I lowered myself to the ground, and patted the area around me. Searching for something to protect myself with. Eventually, finding a piece of wood, and held it up close to my chest.

Hearing the thudding getting closer, and closer. I pinpointed that the sound came from behind the tree I took defense on.

Tightening my grip on the piece of wood. I readied it above my shoulders. Elbows out, ready to hit this unknown threat as hard as possible.

Men, were dropping like flys out here. The cause unresolved. Not a single thing on our enemy.

First to peek out from the side of my tree was the big, glowing eyes made of crimson. Its nostrils having the same glow too. Almost like it would breathe fire. Then the slick, jet black pelt of the beast. Its long mane matching the color of its pelt. Flowing almost gracefully along its shifting movements.

Just as I spotted the mud, caked hair of a decapitated head of some poor soul on the black saddlebags, the beast reared up in surprise. Crying out as the rider tried to regain control.

Adrenaline shooting through my system. I quickly swung up at the rider. Hitting them square in the stomach. A loud crack reverberating off as the wood shattering upon impact. Knocking the rider off his horse and to the ground with a heavy thud.

Flicking off the splinters from my gloved hands. I swiftly unsheathed my dagger within my vest, and pinned the rider beneath me. My knee digging harshly into their body underneath their ribs with a hand on their shoulder for stable strike.

Rising the blade up. I lifted it above my head. Going for a fatal attack. Yet froze in place.

This rider was cloaked in black. An old, yet polished mercenary uniform from way back. A sword sheathed around their waist.

This… man, didn’t belong here. He was from somewhere else. Somewhere else, entirely.

What was even more unsettling, was this man didn’t even have a head.

I grew up in the town where Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” took place. Today, half the town (literally) has been renamed Sleepy Hollow because of the tourism aspect, but there’s always been a local pride about the literary connection. Back in the day, I went to Sleepy Hollow High School (SHHS) where our football team was the Headless Horsemen (who played like they had no heads, but that’s another story). So imagine my surprise when I was record hunting recently and discovered there was an early 1970s band called Sleepy Hollow? They were on Artie Ripp’s Family Productions label—the same outfit that discovered Billy Joel and put out his debut, Cold Spring Harbor, accidentally sped up so that he sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks in singer/songwriter mode. I was definitely curious to hear this—but not 20 bucks worth of curious, so I just took a photo and put it back. Anyone know what it sounds like?

(Sound on) On this sacred hallow night you’ve been spell bound. The headless hides in the woods. You can hear Gunpowder’s hooves as he meticulously trots the haunted wood’s ground.
