I'm Derek Bry, and this is an excerpt from the Michigan chillers. Strange Spirits of ST Ignace by Jonathan Rand 13. I wasn't sure what he meant by do away with, but I knew one thing. It wasn't going to be good. The face reared back and up, growing larger, it opened its mouth wide, and I could see sharp, ugly teeth and a swirling, smoky tongue. If Aaron and Bobby hadn't been seeing the same thing, I would have been sure that I was dreaming. The face looked down at me and smiled that strange, nasty smile. And then I heard a tiny voice. It came from behind me in the darkness. It was a quiet, meek voice. Raise your life, it said. Show him your knife. Let him know you have the knife. I spun for a split instant to see who was speaking, but it was too dark. All I could see were shadows. I turned back around to confront the terrible face in the fire. I didn't know how showing my knife would do anything to stop the hideous face that was coming closer and closer, but it was worth a shot, grasping the knife tightly I thrust it up Now both my hands were raised into the air. In one hand I held the burning stick and in the other I held the knife. The face in the fire drew back. Not only did it drawback, but an expression of fear suddenly came upon him. Fear turned to anger as he spoke you. He has. You will not win this time. This time I will be the victor. I will rule the realm of the under forest. I will be the victor and all of the spirits will be mine, including yours. He was shouting now and his voice sounded like a freight train that the battle begin. He was furious. I could see it in his eyes and in his face. Anger boiled in the yellow and orange flames. Then, just as the old Indian face had done, he began to vanish. His face became faint and his features slipped away. The creature, whatever it was disappeared, carried up and away by the rising smoke and sparks. I watched as he faded completely out of sight. Then I turned back around. Some of the spirit creatures had returned and more were reappearing from the shadows. Even as I watched, I looked at the knife in my hand wherever it came from. It was obviously very powerful. I rolled it over in my hands, being careful not to cut myself on the razor sharp edges. I couldn't figure out how my pocket knife had changed into this huge silver dagger. Soon a voice behind me said, You are the king of fire. You've come back. You've come back to save us all. I turned to see a crowd of wispy white animals gathering. They were all looking at me. I shook my head. I have no idea who you're talking about. My name is Kevin Barnes. I'm not a king. I never have been. And I don't know where this life came from. I have no idea how to save you all or what I'm supposed to save you from. But you must. A deer said to me. Even the wicked sorcerer Aven Dar fears you. Did you see how he ran when you showed him who you really were? All of the other spirits nodded their heads. Things you tell two feet you. But deep down he knows he can't written a possum said I'm sorry. I said I'm still very confused. I've never heard of this. This aven dar before. I'm not who you think I am. Oh, but you are. The bear spoke up. You are the king of fire. You must help us. I'm afraid you have no other choice. What do you mean? I don't have any other choice. I haven't done anything. Oh, yes, you have, The raccoon said. By showing a vendor the knife of eternal fire, you let him know that you were preparing for war. Even now, all of the wicked spirits are preparing to go to war against all of us. What's the knife of eternal fire I asked And what does eternal mean? An owl that had been sitting in a tree spoke up. I hadn't seen her until now. Eternal means forever. She said The knife of eternal fire was given to you exactly 100,000 years ago. You used it to defeat the wicked sorcerer Aven Dar! You banished him for 100,000 years to the swamp of doom. Now his 100,000 years are up and he is free to roam the earth, right? Like I was going to believe that
