Diary Entry\\001
Sub-Entry: I found this “Thing”(Can you call it that?) in Ares Park the other day, the same place where Elzie’s mom sometimes sells her crafts. Anyway, this thing is sort of like another space almost. I don’t exactly leave the park when I go there but, I can feel my surroundings starting to shift and twist…have to investigate more.

The area is a sort of ‘dead space’ where the entirety of Ares park gets blocked out, visually the park doesn’t change at least not at first. I asked some of the older kids in the area and they said that, the area in the park was where all the kids would go to play laser tag during Halloween nights eight years prior. They also said it was just some scary Halloween story made to trick the younger kids into giving up all their candy…but I highly doubt that. The story goes like this:

Thursday, October 31 1963

Two boys, Erin and Charlie head out for trick or treating one Halloween night. They went deep into the woods(the now rundown area of Ares Park), and set up shop, inviting all the kids of the neighbourhood to come out to the woods and into the forest. The boys set up black curtains and sheets up over trees and gathered all their laser pointers and attached them to toy guns for some makeshift laser tag. Once all of the kids gathered, they competed, betting their candy, winner takes all. As the number of contestants started to dwindle, the two boys who started it all were nowhere to be seen. At around 15 contestants, all the lights went out and the area of the park turned into a giant maze. However, the kids who attempted the maze without fixing the red light of their laser pointers were taken and fixed. The only ones to escape were those who had already lost all their candy. So began a tradition of avoiding that area of the forest at night.

I first discovered this during the daytime, the effects of the area may be….no WILL be more dangerous at night, I could barely get out of it during the daytime. DO NOT ENTER!
