According to the manual, I need fear for my own survival and to gain more power. So off I go with my brand new briefcase. As I delicately walked back over the rope bridge I noticed I'm still wearing that old sack mask. I completely forgot that I was still wearing that. I decided to commit to this new look of mine. So I tucked the ends of the sack into my suit so my head and neck are no longer visable. So now I look like a fucking scarecrow that is late for an important business meeting. I don't know where I am going to go until I start to smell something delicious in the air. I taste something on the tip of my tongue. By instinct I follow that delicious smell. I follow it for awhile trying to find it source. Eventually I find it or more specifically I find her.

The smell is coming from inside this little cabin in the middle of nowhere. I decide to get a closer look to see what is inside. I go to the window and inside there is like a million different animals sleeping. No wonder I haven't seen animals in the forest. It's because there all right here in the weird little cabin. But than I notice her standing in the kitchen. She looks to be around five foot tall with yellow wings attached to her back. She was wearing some baggy clothes and she had put up her bright pink hair into a bun. It takes me a second, but I realize that wonderful smell is coming from her. She looks a little pale and nervous. While observing her I felt something and impulsively looked at my briefcase. The number has gone up from seven to eight. This fear gathering isn't so hard.

I realize that I am feeding off her fear passively, so learning how to eat apparently wouldn't be a problem. But for the big pay off all I had to do is scare people shitless. So with that in mind I confidently walk towards the door and knock once. I hear a quiet "eek" and the tantalizing taste becomes a little more potent. After a few minutes with no response I knock twice. This time I knock hard enough to wake some animals up. I can see them scatter around but not with my eyes, but I really didn't care at the moment. I am focused on her reactions. She moves nervously towards the door while I wait.

"hello" said the girl from behind the door. "who's there" ? She sounds like she wants to run away. I feel that wonderfully odd sensation again. I knock again. This time I knock three times and than try to jiggle the door handle. To my surprise it turns all the way and decide to open the door instead. From her shocked expression she must have thought the door was locked and I somehow opened the door like it was no big deal. But I lost interest in how she looked. I could feel her fear wash over me. I assumed the briefcase was gathering up the fear that surrounded me and it felt amazing.

So far this has been a good warm up but I might as well have some fun with this. She seems petrified so I decide to make the first move.

Thinking quickly I hold my hand out offering a handshake. She snaps out of it and backs up a little. "uhh no thank you . . . can I help you sir?" she clearly wants to kick me out and hide under her blankets but she is way too scared to act upon those desires. I use that to my advantage.

I quickly lunge forward staring directly into her eyes. She promptly faints and falls straight back. I might have gone a little too far scaring this girl. Hopefully other people won't be this easy to scare or life will get boring fast. The door is still wide open so I take that as an invitation to come all the way in. I quickly check if she was still alive or not. She is still breathing so she'll be fine.

Looking around her cabin it looks rather cozy but overgrown with nature and shit. She might as well be living outside with all this nature and animals. There are some pictures on the wall which I assume are of her friends. I don't pay much attention to them and look for some sort of currency because right now I'm flat out broke. After a quick search I give up. I sit down on her bed to look at my briefcase to see how much fear I gained. It's now reading fourteen. I guess that makes sense since all I did was pull a jump scare. If I scared more people or dragged it out I would have gotten more.

The sun is starting to rise so I decide to leave the cottage. I leave her on the floor with the door wide open so she will realize it wasn't a dream. That way she will be even more scared of me the next time we meet. I walk inside the tree line so no one will see me if they pass me by.

With the additional power I've gathered I decide that I need to make an investment. Because I am all by my lonesome and I have no idea what I'm doing, I need advice. I have the scaring thing mostly down but I have no clue about the other stuff. Hell maybe other people can understand what's actually happening. I imagine my phone with my solar charger attached. The briefcase indicates it will cost ten so that will only leave me with four left. After weighing my options I realize I have no clue on what to do next and the sun is coming up. So I decide to risk it all.

My phone is fully charged but I have terrible reception. Honestly, not considering that the wifi in the woods was going to suck was an oversight on my part. I try and call my brother first to see what he would have to say but it doesn't go through. I should have anticipated that, but hey it was worth a shot. I am kind of antisocial so I don't have Facebook or Instagram so those aren't an option. I was thinking of posting it on Reddit but there are millions of stories there and this would just get lost. The sun was starting to raise and I thought I saw the girl start to stir awake. So I had to rush and find somewhere to post this and to ask for advice. In my panic I just found a website I was recently on to post this to.

So please, anyone reading this. I need your help! I have no idea what I'm doing. My plan is to do whatever I want but I need to survive to be able to do that. If you think you have something that might help me out, write them in this website's comments please! I'll be hiding in the woods until I figure out what to do. I am childish and have very limited food so please hurry.

This is all fucking God's fault. I know it.
