Dear Creepypasta Series: A Long Walk


Day 2
Sean sat under the burned oak, which was peculiarly placed among the full-grown forest. This was the first peculiar sight Sean had seen since he became lost during his daily walk. Though, it wasn't the only peculiar thing that had happened. As he sat, he tried to figure out how he had become lost in the first place. He had been taking walks through this forest for almost two years now, how did he manage to take a wrong turn? Looking to the sky, he tried to orient himself, but to no avail. The trees reached seemingly to the sky itself, and while the thick cover let sunlight in, it was impossible to determine the sun's location. He decided to keep walking in the same direction he had been walking for what felt like the past two hours since he awoke. Though, he was unable to find any other way to find direction, and although he didn't know in which direction the sun set, he stared at the thin orange rays and felt himself falling asleep under an oak, not unlike the thousands of others that surrounded him.

Day 4

Despite his presumptions, Sean found that he was neither hungry nor thirsty, despite four total days sans food or water. Instead of comforting him, it instilled a small fear in him. He was able to go without the bare necessities, but why? Along with this thought came the realization that, even if he was hungry, he hadn't heard any animals during his stay. Just the slight rustling of leaves as the wind blew through them. But, wait- was that… a cry? Sean turned his head in the direction he heard the noise. "Hello?" he yelled, "Is anyone there?" Silence responded.

Day 8

Sean knew he was not alone. He could hear the slight footsteps that echoed his, the sound of twigs crunching under someone else's feet. He could hear them, he was sure of it; why couldn't he see them?

Day 12

Sean had been heading in the same direction for as long as he could remember, taking careful precautions to make sure his path stayed true. He reaches an overhang, with different looking terrain behind it. Could it be? Has he found a way out? As he crouches and crawls under, he stands up to a terrible sight. He has reached the same burned tree he saw not ten days ago.

Day 22

Sean headed in the opposite direction, hoping to find his way out through different means. All he found was the same tree.

Day 47

Sean is sure he hears voices. He knows someone else must be in here with him. He's sure of it.

Day 73

Footsteps? They must be someone else's. And they lead to the same burned tree? Most peculiar. He should ask them about their journey once he finds them.

Day 145

He can't be alone! There must be a way out! He keeps finding all these footsteps, but who do they belong to? "Show yourself!" he cries to no one in particular. "Yourself", they answer.

Day 699

The season hasn't changed for 699 days. Was there ever a season?

Day 1,378

Sean wonders, does anyone miss him at home? Where is home? It was just this way, wasn't it…?

Day 6,660

Sean sat under the burned oak, which was peculiarly placed among the full grown forest. And, despite the numerous footsteps and sounds that claimed otherwise, he was completely and utterly alone.

A Wish Come True (A Short Story)

I woke up with a start when I found myself in a very unfamiliar place. The bed I was lying on was grand—an English-quilting blanket and 2 soft pillows with flowery laces. The whole place was fit for a king! Suddenly the door opened and there stood my dream prince: Katsuya Kimura! I gasped in astonishment for he was actually a cartoon character. I did not know that he really exist. “Wake up, dear,” he said and pulled off the blanket and handed it to a woman who looked like the maid. “You will be late for work.” “Work?” I asked. “Yes! Work! Have you forgotten your own comic workhouse, baby dear?” Comic workhouse?! I…I have became a cartoonist? That was my wildest dreams! Being a cartoonist! I undressed and changed into my beige T-shirt and black trousers at once and hurriedly finished my breakfast. Katsuya drove me to the workhouse. My, my, was it big! I’ve never seen a bigger place than this! Katsuya kissed me and said, “See you at four, OK, baby?” I blushed scarlet. I always wan

Hans and Hilda

Once upon a time there was an old miller who had two children who were twins. The boy-twin was named Hans, and he was very greedy. The girl-twin was named Hilda, and she was very lazy. Hans and Hilda had no mother, because she died whilst giving birth to their third sibling, named Engel, who had been sent away to live wtih the gypsies. Hans and Hilda were never allowed out of the mill, even when the miller went away to the market. One day, Hans was especially greedy and Hilda was especially lazy, and the old miller wept with anger as he locked them in the cellar, to teach them to be good. "Let us try to escape and live with the gypsies," said Hans, and Hilda agreed. While they were looking for a way out, a Big Brown Rat came out from behind the log pile. "I will help you escape and show you the way to the gypsies' campl," said the Big Brown Rat, "if you bring me all your father's grain." So Hans and Hilda waited until their father let them out,

I Was A Lab Assistant of Sorts (Part 3)

Hey everyone. I know it's been a minute, but I figured I would bring you up to speed on everything that happened. So, needless to say, I got out, but the story of how it happened was wild. So there we were, me and the little potato dude, just waiting for the security dude to call us back when the little guy got chatty again. “Do you think he can get us out?” he asked, not seeming sure. “I mean, if anyone can get us out it would be him, right?” “What do you base this on?” I had to think about that for a minute before answering, “Well, he's security. It's their job to protect people, right? If anyone should be able to get us out, it should be them.” It was the little dude's turn to think, something he did by slowly breathing in and out as his body puffed up and then shrank again. “I will have to trust in your experience on this matter. The only thing I know about security is that they give people tickets
