As they ate the news came on, another disappearance it seemed.<br/><br/>"Good Evening Rosswood residents, tonight, tragedy strikes as two more young residents are missing. Two more on a list spanning 40 victims that authorities are aware of. All of which had gone missing without a trace. But tonight, a break through! The boys' clothes and phones were recovered today in the far north reaches of what historians call the stretched wood, the site of a string of primitive executions and burnings in the early years of our city. We have Lisa Channing with more, coming to us from the Stretched wood, live. Lisa?"<br/><br/>A woman came on, a fingertip at her ear. she was still and silent a moment before looking up at the camera and nodding. "Good evening, Chad! Yes it is a sad sight to see as police recover the torn, bloody clothing of the two boys. The police are deeming this an animal attack which begs the question...where are all the other children gone in the past few years! Have simple childhood wanderings into the forests left them as prey to whatever  creatures deem this place their home? Authorities believe this to be so and are warning all parents to instruct their children to stay away form this area in Rosswood park and to, if possible, avoid the forests all together until this creature can be found by local wildlife experts. From Rosswood park, this is Lisa Channing, back to you Chad"<br/><br/>The television cut back to Chad in the station. "What a horrible loss I--" he rested a fingertip to his earpiece. "This just in...video footage! recovered from one of the boys' near destroyed phones, a possible lead as to what attacked them. The footage is dim because of the lakc of natural light with the lights of their phones illuminating whatever this may be. I do warn you the following footage is of a graphic nature."<br/><br/>The camera shifted to the screams of the boys coming from the footage, horribly distorted as the camera feed would discolor and fall apart before coming back again for split seconds to show small bits of footage followed by more distortion and broken screams. An only partially illuminated creature approached, pale, smooth where the cameras illuminated for a moment before long appendages took hold, tendrils flailing about as the boys screamed, subtitles coming over as they hear the boy scream. "He's fuckin' real!" The last few seconds of the video showed a pale smoothness splitting apart violently along an impossibly long seem, rows of long needle like fangs and a slithering tongue, the opening widening with sickening crackles before the footage cut out to screaming."<br/><br/>Authorities that are reviewing the footage have decided the creature to be some sort of snake..." said the anchorman who looked down nervously, having been watching it along with the viewers, sweating, seeming to think other wise as he said the creature was deemed a snake. "W-Wildlife experts will be advised that they now search for a serpentine creature within the swamp lands of the stretched wood.. I-I'm Chad Singleton.....s-signing off.." he said before putting his head in his hands, shaking some before the feed cut out to the show they were watching before.
