"Rise and grind.” The amulet grows heavier. "Let's make that bread." Its string singes the nape of my neck. “Grindset mindset ‘til sunset.” I lose widening swaths of time, awaken in the woods.

If you make Charon laugh, you get to sip from the river Styx. I hear it tastes like what peace feels like. One sip and all your questions find answers in a moment of perfect bliss. If you try to make him laugh and fail, you have to drink from The Hell Bucket (liquified teeth).

One must approach horses with a flat, open palm because paper beats rock and hooves are always rock. Do NOT let a horse see you with scissors.

There is a ghost in your home and it loves you. It gazes longingly from the doorway, yearning to know what you’re thinking. When you walk through it, the ghost tastes your freshest thoughts. They’re always delicious. This is why you don’t remember why you walked into the kitchen.

A fungus encases the deceased hiker’s throat and replicates its hollow shape dozens of times over in every direction. As wind moves through the cones, a sound mimicking a human groan rings across the forest. This attracts the next hiker. We have to fix this or Park Ranger Prom will be cancelled.

Jolene is the true American cryptid, a ravenous dream eater lurking in shadows to hypnotize prey with a diverse array of elemental lures. Its wicked name may be repeated in minor key if one wishes to summon and bargain with the beast.

We fired the art department and replaced them with an orb. It hovers about four feet off the ground and follows us around the office. Sometimes it feels like it's waiting for something. Sometimes it follows you home. Jim says it told him to dig into the dirt. It will save the company twelve dollars.
