《Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark》ToBy The Toy Turtle
Advertisement
Hey, sorry about any spelling or grammatical errors but I haven't slept in days. I am posting this now because... because I don't know how much time I have. I need to make sure no one ever becomes a victim to this...this thing again.
When I was about 5, my parents took me to Build-a-Bear Workshop for the very first time, followed my many other visits over the years. I am no wuss but I have always had a weakness for cute things. When my parents took me to Build-a-Bear, I had so much fun, and I looked through all the furry animals... but I was disappointed...You see, I never was fond of furry animals as much as reptiles, my favorite being a turtle. After looking through all the animal choices I found one bin at the very end that had rabbits in it but...there on the top, to my great excitement, was a turtle! The only one as well! I picked it and took it to be stuffed, went through the whole process, and named it ToBy.
However I accidentally hit the shift button making it ToBy but I didn't mind. My parents were low on cash so I could only pick one article of clothing for it and in the very same bin I found a plush turtle shell with straps on it and a zipper so things could be placed in it like a back pack. Needless to say, it went great with my turtle, so I bought it. We took it home and I played with it every day. After a while one of my friends Anthony had a really cool marble. I wanted it so badly but he wouldn't trade. The next day I woke up to feel something in ToBy's shell. After unzipping it I found the very marble inside. I smiled and kept it assuming Anthony gave it to me discretely. Over the next few weeks other things I desired appeared in his back pack.

I can remember even once I wanted a new bike and I found a receipt in his pack for the very bike which I later found in my front yard. I used ToBy's powers well and enjoyed having my every desire being made reality. After a while Anthony and me started to fight a lot and we soon started to dislike each other. I wished he would get hurt to make him pay and I went to sleep...the next day I opened ToBy's pack (which had become my morning ritual) and found a napkin with some blood on it.
I freaked out and became worried, wondering when I had hurt myself and why I had put that in his shell... Then I overheard my mom talking to Anthony's mom on the phone. She said Anthony had fallen down the stairs. I soon realized that the blood was Anthony's. I was upset, but in the back of my mind, I was happy. After a while longer we got in more fights and I wished he would get hurt worse and sure enough the next day I found Anthony's thumb in my pack. I wasn't even afraid since I knew what had happened.
I carried ToBy with me everywhere until one day Anthony beat me up on the playground and that night I cried to ToBy "I wish Anthony would just disappear!"...The next morning, Anthony was missing, and it in ToBy's pack was a photograph of Anthony passed out in a dessert with a shadow of what appeared to be my very own plushy ToBy looming over him... ToBy also had some sand on his feet... After that I put ToBy in a box and never asked him for anything again.
Many years passed and I was in my early twenties when another person started to bully me. I ignored it because I had another person on my mind, a girl, to be exact. I got a phone call from the girl I had a crush on and she asked me out on a date! When I arrived at her house I knocked on the door and the bully answered and he, his friends, even the girl, laughed and took pictures of my dumbfounded face. That night I went home and screamed and yelled in anger and wished they were dead... The next morning I noticed a large box in my room that I realized I never unpacked when I moved.

I opened it and to my horror I found inside ToBy covered in blood next to a bloody knife. I was shaking and I carefully opened his pack and almost vomited. Inside were 5 eyeballs and I recognized them as those of the girl and the bully and his friends. I freaked out and threw ToBy into the near by lake hoping to be rid of him forever and just as I turned I said quietly "I wish I were dead". I froze solid, realizing my mistake, as I heard a splash. I turned to see ToBy on the shore laying there like I had just left him there I turned and ran away and when I looked back he was standing there staring at me and I booked it home.
I decided to pack the essentials and leave and never return, hoping I could lose ToBy. It has been 4 months and every where I go I find him there soon after I arrive... I fear I may not last longer... I had to tell someone so I'm telling you... All of you... Just please... Be careful what you wish for... If you see this turtle, please, I beg of you, burn it, kill it, wish for it to kill its self. I may have found a way to trap it though. Tomorrow I will go and set it up. Soon i will be rid of this abomination, and then I will be frijo5yihjoGHP3UHRGWlhjk;oijKLUhk;uh;uhrglkrajent;io490u8tjfij'fk', hlisadfl.jhbglsda n.;huwfw413648564dsf38RSGT48

The Abyssal Dungeon
The world of Vol, a huge, bountiful plane where the only constant is life, in its many, many forms. One such form is a dungeon core, a peculiar little gemstone, and the focus of our attention. Watch as this otherwise unremarkable gem awakens in one of the most resplendant places in Vol, an aptly named Mana Reef, and how it turns its simple hole in the ocean floor into something truly unique, all while the rest of the world is forced to deal with its growth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is my first venture into writing for fun, and I'm hoping to keep this running until I run out of juice. With that said, I very much enjoy dungeon core novels, and wanted to do one a bit outside the norm. Hope you enjoy!
