With every myth lies a scarier truth
Log Line: While
holidaying at Loch Ness a father and daughter find there is something
frightening that has been living in the murky depths of the lake and there’s no
Nessy in sight.
Isabelle tosses and turns while trying to sleep in the small
wooden bed situated in the corner of the dark log cabin, her dad sleeps soundly
in the bed adjacent to hers. There is a small window next to the young girls’
bed on which thick green curtains hang crookedly creating a tiny slither of
moonlight that streaks across her bed.
Something is irritating the girl and she scratches her leg
while half asleep, as her short bitten nails scrape over the skin she feels
something unusual that provokes her to sit upright. She pushes the covers off
her legs and looks down, she can see nothing except where the moonlight slices
across her legs it highlights small red lumps. She leans over to switch the
lamp on which reveals the lumps cover her legs completely, her face contorts in
horror and she calls out to her dad. As he awakes one of the lumps burst
releasing sickly green pus that drips down her leg causing the girl to recoil
in disgust and screech out for her dad once more. He rushes over to her and inspects
the pus filled lump that her shaking finger points at. It’s not just pus that
fills it, something small and black slides out onto the floor but before they
have time to react and without warning all the other lumps burst one by one
like an unstoppable chain reaction.
The girl’s eyes widen in terror as the gooey green pus oozes
out from her body and shiny black creatures begin poking out, their heads
slowly snaking side to side before the rest of their body emerges and they drop
to the floor. The black slug like creatures writhe around and begin absorbing
the liquid that once harboured them and as they do so they grow in size and
develop two fang like teeth. The girl shoots back onto the bed as the dad
cautiously steps away looking for something to grab but not sure what.
Suddenly as if something had signalled them to do so the
creatures simultaneously start worming their way up the overhanging bed covers
towards the girl, she screams out to her dad and they leap on to her legs and
tear into her lumpy skin with their tiny sharp fangs. She yelps out with a
chilling scream that echoes around the room and starts thrashing her legs about
in vain. Finally her dad snaps into action and desperately tries to pull the
creatures from her but as fast as he is pulling them out they are making their
way back to her legs and continuing to gouge out small chunks of her broken flesh. The girl convulses around on the bed her teardrops spilling everywhere
and as they do so one lands on one of the creatures which immediately begins to
bubble and fizz while letting out a high pitch shriek. They throw up their
hands to cover their ears as the sound is almost deafening but as the girl
moves her arms to do she knocks the curtain allowing moonlight to flood in
momentarily and as it hits the feasting creatures they stop dead then all at
once they move off the girl and quickly wriggle their way across the room,
under the door and out into the darkness.
