Description Part: 7

As the child turned I realized it was not a small child.  No, not a child at all.  As it turned its head to me. I saw it had only one large eye and a mouth full of sharp and pointed teeth.   It was playing with a small dead mouse.  It gazed apon me with its one large eye.  IT said in a frightenly child like voice.  "come play with me, come play."  It slowly got up on its small child like lets and began to waddle towards me. It dropped the mouse it was playing with.  Its child arms stretched out towards me with long sharp claws on the end.  repeating in its child voice. "Come play with me, come play please."  I was horrorified.  How can something this hideous sound like a child.  I swiftly got up and backed away.  The tombstone goblin snickering and grinning at me the entire time.  I backed away, staring at its ugly face and its one eye.  Listening to its mockery of a child voice. "Come play with me, come play please."   It began to waddle towards me faster.  I turned and ran.  Scrabbling over broken tomb stones.  I ran towards the small musaliem,  with the help of another tombstone I hoped on top of that and peered down at the morbid creature that began to cry in a child voice.   The tombstone goblin leapt easily up on top of the musalien with me, still grinning and snickering.    I peered over the edge and asked timidly. "What in hells name is that?"  The tombstone goblin also peered over the edge, carefully looked the crying creature up and down and said. "It appears to be crying."  and went back to looking at it closely.  I wrapped my arms around my legs and gently rocked back and forth.    The ugly crying creature began to get angry.  It started yelling, in its rage it began to claw at the wall of the musaliem.  Much to the tombstone goblins amazment, it began to climb.  In its excitement the tombstone goblin shook me out of my self misery and said. "Mr. Devlen, you should really see this! I never knew this was possable!"  I looked over at the edge at the climbing monster.  I let out a long sigh and moved over to the other side of the musiliem.   The tombstone goblin kept watching and said.  "Amazing! this boogie man must be very old indeed! perhaps one of the first! truely amazing."   I got ready to leap off the other side when I heard a quick repeated thudding sound moving swiftly closer.  I did my best to ignore it in hopes it went away.  I stared at my feet ready to leap off and run for the woods when there was a loud. "WHAM."  The entire musiliem shook with a large impact.  In my scrabble for a hold I fell off.  I landed on my side.  I stiffly got up and dusted myself off.   I uncaringly looked at the same giant i had met earlier.  I was tired and I just wanted all of this to end.  The giant gave a booming laugh and slapped me roughly on my back grinning.  I slowly stumbled on to the other side of the old musilem.  There was a nasty looking smear on the side, which  I can only assume was the boogie man.  I started to get a headache.  I realized that I had no sleep last night, been pulled all over this forest, had almost nothing to drunk since the cofee the night before.  I was getting tired.   

I stared blankly at the smear. I fell limply back against a towering tombstone.  I was cold, thirsty and feeling weak.  I wanted to curl up in a warm bed.  But the two mythical creatures had other ideas.   The giant easily lifted me up and placed me on his shoulder like a small child.  I sat on his shoulder looking over the small grave yard, I felt a cold icey hand on my leg.  I fearfully looked down and saw the tombstone goblin grinning at me.  I glared at him and said.  "I am pretty sure you said that you could only travel by tombstone..."    He grinned and me and snickered and said.  "Yes well you are right.  I did say that.  However I do tend to lie to get what i want."  I sighed and just looked at the ground.  The tombstone goblin slowly and icely climbed up me and began to lie comfertbly slung over my shoulders like a scarf.   He had no weight, but everywhere he touched left a cold dead feeling.
