Day 71: Chief Red Mountain

The curse was a heavy weight on the Gray family for months. The nightmares haunted them night after night, no matter where they slept, if the sacrifice was not made. Every full moon, the Grays presented their offering to the image of Chief Red Mountain to appease the angry spirit, and the next morning, the offering would vanish.

The family watched as Mr. Gray laid this month's sacrifice before the altar.

"We're running out of neighbors," he said.
