The story
begins in a small rural town in Montana called Galesburg a town that used to be
booming coal-mining town, but since the explosions in the mines forty years ago
the town has been pretty depressed with only a population of 400 or so. The town consists of a gas station, a
sporting goods store, a few fast food joints and restaurants, houses of course,
and a hand full of abounded buildings, and a mechanic. With that aside there’s
one high school in town where a group of five friends go there names are Jim,
Dan, Chris, Mitch, and Bill they all live in town and hang out every weekend
pretty much. A common place they all hang out at is Mitch’s house mostly
because his parents are always out of town and Mitch has a pretty sick set up to
throw some awesome house parties. So one weekend when Mitch’s parents decided
to go to Las Vegas the group was planning a pretty big party to throw on Friday
night. So after school on Friday the group assembled at Mitch’s house and made
the preparations for the party. The house was set back far in the mountains due
to its long 7-mile driveway so it made it pretty secluded to not have to worry
about cops or neighbors. That night they had the best party of their lives and
when they woke up every one left but Mitch, Chris, and Bill. After the long
clean up that that took them till mid afternoon the boys decided to go
investigate the surrounding mountain wilderness. After about an hour of
trekking threw the deep woods they cam across what looked to be an old blown
out mine shaft from nearly 5 decades ago. After some discussion between the 3
guys they decided to return to Mitch’s to get supplies to go down into the
shaft to investigate what they might find, each guy took a backpack full of
stuff that could be useful to them. Once they got back to the shaft they
started to descend slowly after about an hour walk down in the shaft they came
across what look to a pile of bones as they got closer they realized that it
was bones, but they looked to be an assortment of different animal bones but it
still made them all fell a little scared. As they progressed down into the mineshaft
they kept felling like they saw something flash in front of them but when they
flashed a light in that direction there appeared to be nothing there. After
about another three hours of wandering around the boys decided that they were
for sure lost and had no idea how to get of the shaft. At this point they
figured the time was about midnight and this is when the creatures started to
come out of the cracks and crevices. These monsters looked like half pig and
half mole. As soon as the boys saw these creatures they knew they were in
trouble because by the looks of their sharp jagged teeth they knew they were
meat eaters. Chris and Mitch were the first one to scatter by running up
another side shaft, but bill wasn’t so lucky because one of the creatures got
hold of him and devoured him in mere seconds. As Chris and Mitch were running
up the side shaft they started to see light peak around the corner but when
Chris turned to see where Mitch was all he could see is his torn body being
drug back into the darkness of the mineshaft. As Chris emerged from the mineshaft
he made a b-line right to the police where he reported what happened and then
the police station went right to the national government. The national government
took action by completely exploding the whole mountainside destroying
everything in range of it. As soon as the government took this action the
creatures were never heard of again and were completely demolished. After this
ordeal Chris decided to move as far away as possible from the area.
