This doesn't look familiar at all. I was sure this was the way I'm getting tired
You two, we should have been out of the forest by now
 
It all looks the same
Great! Now what are we suppose to do?
 
I just don't get it
It doesn't make sense
What do you say I would say unequivocally
We are completely lost
This is possible I cut through these woods like a million times
It's so not treating Ravens party for me stuck me straight tastic woods
I thought gosh like your grandma spooky woods just as much as ancient altars our cemetery
I'm not a goth. I'm just changing it up a little you know being unique Yeah, right?
Something's up these woods aren't even open mile wide. I mean we should be out by now
We've been walking the same direction for what two hours. You know couldn't get any worse
But we still don't have cell phone reception
Does that count we're actually invited to a party where we can fit in for once?
But now I'll probably end up eaten by something rabid ground hog Erica
We need to focus. It's kind of hard to think when you keep going on like that
Man, I could be home right now crushing some online Robo exploder. Yeah, well. I have an advanced physics paper due on Monday boring
All you do is study Margaret
And Nick you play video games so much you look pixelated
why do you think everyone calls you virtual Nick remember when you used to geek out every week on battle more cosmic Ron so beyond
Battle war cause the truck. Yeah, now. It's dubstep one weekend off the next
You know what Erica the difference between you and me is I don't care
What anybody else thinks you're always trying to fit in all right? I'm just me you mean friendless and anti-social
I'm his friend, and so are you and I'm your friend and so is Nick
That's why we let you drag us out to this party. That's also why not stuck here in these woods alone
Hear that?
Swear I heard something big
Is anybody there
Is anybody there
Hello
I'm gonna check this out. No wait ah
Don't I have a bad feeling
Let's just go my second and third that we still have time to make it to Ravens party so no way
Trying to go home
Doesn't make sense we should be out by now
You know why it's called love Cass woods
Don't you because they once belonging someone named Lovecraft wrong, so you don't know this story this is gonna
Freak me out cuz if it is I'm ignoring you
My grandpa told me all about it way back in the 1930s
old Elijah Lovecraft his wife--for cut through the woods
Just like we are now. They got lost - and couldn't find their way out for hours
Only mrs. Lovecraft made it out. She runs straight to her farmhouse. She only thought
She'd been gone for three hours, but her sister told her she'd been gone for three years
Great, we've been walking for two hours. Is that when we've been lost for two years
So what happened to mr.. Lovecraft well she claims a ghoul gun
Not even sure what a girl is should be cos know about ghoul. It's not a god, so how'd she get out. I don't know
Just hope it doesn't take us three years
Still no signal
Weird
My phone says it's 9:30, but it's it's not even 7:00 night
IPhones this is 3:00 a.m.. Probably just a satellite interference don't panic
Can we panic now
What we were just here, that's the same tree and there's a sign
Did we go in a circle couldn't have sounds me too. I left the whole time, so what do we do we keep going wait?
Oh no no come on not find different way out
No
Just like old Lovecraft
Did you see that there was nothing
Missing animal yeah an animal with a paw that looks exactly like a zombies hand sure don't wanna be here anymore
I hate this place ow
Oh stupid tree this whole place is cursed. It's not cursed. Let me see. It's just a scratch. Please can we just go
So let's go, that's right
What was that it's video, I told you it's legal
Whatever it is I mean if it's hungry. I bet it can wait a long time
It's just so dark, what is this place hunting Jackie? I guess
At least it's sturdy
How is that working what do you need?
Still don't think these woods are cursed. Okay first things first. We need to find a weapon good idea
Okay, you look really pale
It's not much here
Margaret
You're in a science. What is going on you think I know?
Okay um
maybe we're caught in some kind of a
time loop or maybe we crossed in some kind of parallel dimension or I
Have absolutely no idea what?
if we like
Like ghosts, you know like trapped in another world. I don't even go there
Hey check it out
Looks just like your keychain, Erica
They're exactly the same
How is that possible it's like deja vu x - this can't just be coincidence
They're exactly the same um if this place really is a loop in the space-time continuum
Maybe we've been here before
How would we know
Look at this
It's a map of Lovecraft's woods these are all key landmarks
Here's the creek accost you're right. I think this path will put us back on Winfield Road. Maybe it was drawn by left crafts wife
Here it I
don't hear anything exactly I
Think it's gone. We should move fast away
We're safe here
Haven't you seen enough for who used to know the second we opened that door the thing to eat our faces?
We have to do this we may not get another chance
Hey Hey look at this
That could level the playing field. I'll smack this thing up Thor style
You guys go ahead
Just go ahead. We'll bring back. Help you Erica. No we're not leaving Eric here
You help her. I'll go first sir fine by me, but I get this
Ready
Definitely not
What is it some kind of journal
There's only one entry the rest is blank
Hands kind of a mess
The ink is so fresh
Reading
The land is cursed trapped here, can't get out it sounds a little too familiar
Hard her right my friends are gone. I told them to run no choice
We were right the place loops in time
Things keep happening over and over I'm already transforming. I don't think this is the first time it's for me
That thing just doesn't give up does it keep
Don't you get it that thing I think it wrote this one was so humid heat reading
My nail started going first my fangs have grown in can't speak. It's happening so fast now. I'm scared
The tree that scratching about our must have infected me these woods are pure evil
Why did I ever convince Martinek to go to that stupid party?
Is this some kind of sick joke Margaret come on
This is my handwriting let me see your arm, Erika, please
No no no
No whoa Erika
It can't be it can't we're gonna get you help, just just go going you still can't I?
said go
Wait we have to go back, are you kidding me? She wasn't after us, she's trying to warn us, or help us look
We'll find someone who can help her all right? Well. We'll come back. We need to get out of here mark
How I memorized the map what if what you said before is true
What if we're stuck here forever like Lovecraft looping over and over look all we can do is try
Come on
The land is cursed
Trapped here can't get out hard to write. My friends are gone. I told them to run
No choice they were right this place loops in time things keep happening over and over
It all looks the same
Hey, what do you see I would say unequivocally
We are completely lost
Something's up
These woods aren't even a mile wide we should be out by now. I know we've been walking for what two hours
You know we're actually invited to a party where we can fit in for once
But now I'll probably end up eaten by some rabid groundhog
I'm already transforming, and I don't think it's the first time
my nails started growing first
My fangs have already ruined it
Can't speak, I'm scared the tree that scratched my arm
Must have infected me these woods are pure evil human friendless and anti-social
I'm his friend, and so are you and I'm your friend and so is Nick
That's why we let you drag her to this. Why did I ever convince Margaret and Nick to go to that stupid party?
Hear that I swear, I heard something big
Hello is anybody there

Hamish Bartholomew
He made two orphans that day least they had each other
More, and I got separately after you shot his dad poor Hamish starved to death
I'm the other oh he lived Seth was no one protecting him. He became an even bigger outlaw than you
He pure often made some orphans himself
Thanks to you
Shut your Yap, it's not like that's the worst thing that happened because of you
With the sheriff dead no one protected town town was overrun with cutthroats and thieves
time died out in a couple of generations
Because one man. I'll do a liar you saying it's my doing. I'm just saying what happened
Never gave much thought to the repercussions of my actions
Don't intend to start now
Now draw those tiny innocent children poor poor little Hamish starving

His only choice good life a crime. Thanks so much
More more orphans all because one man called you in fire. Oh stop. I swear

Lost focus for a sec let's do it again
How many times can we practice this freaking song seriously relaxed it doesn't come so easy for everyone you know?
I'm standing right here
Holding. You just got a feeling music not think about it so much
You're all caught up in your head or something just out of flow
No look you're an awesome singer, and you're a great rhythm guitarist
But we need someone who can play lead we need a real lead guitarist, No okay, not Ginny Pilate alright, dude
He's a big jerk and and he likes Skua, man. Yeah, he's a weirdo

They're the real evil believe you me
Maybe the man I am today
Cynical better irrepressibly competitive
I
See you're in charge of this old instrument she's got a lot of mileage on her, but there's no doubting she's one of a kind
Can I can I see it?
And I think she's right feel lazy
It's an unusual instrument amazing to play at horsewhips
We have to have a special kind of cell Garcia Cobain Hendrix they all played this once I'm sayin
All right
So it seems you do have a special cell laughter all I
Knew who and it was all about the guitar. It's about more than just to get some Sun
