The Game at the Edge of Bitterwater Road

December 1987 on Bitterwater Road, a gravel cut through the pine barrens of northern Maine. Luna's uncle Roy was a guide, the kind who could read a deer track at a dead run and tell you how many minutes ago the animal passed through. In the third week of deer season, he took a party of four hunters into a stretch of state land he'd worked for twenty years — a piece he knew like his own kitchen. They came back two days early, three men silent and one man gone. The one who came back changed did not speak for a week, and when he finally did, the story he told made Roy sell his rifles and never walk into the woods again. Luna heard it from her father, who heard it from Roy, who never once lied about anything in his life. This is what that man described — the game they found, the rules it seemed to follow, and the shot that should have ended everything but only started something worse. #BitterwaterRoad #PineBarrensMaine #UncleRoy #DeerSeason1987 #TheGame #WhistleInTheTrees #TheManWhoCameBack #DeerStand #OrangeCap #GraveBark #RulesOfTheGame #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SoloNarration #AnthologyHorror #WoodsHorror #AtmosphericHorror #CandlelightReading Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
