Path-illogical Beastly Bride by Kris P. Kreme<\/p><\/div>\n

On their way to the top of Mount Madness for their yearly camping trip, Jordan, Chris, and Henry have been delayed by a bride and her wedding party. But after that bride inspires a spooky story they later tell, will a very real twisted fate of madness take over their lives?<\/p>\n

With each telling their own tale around the campfire that night, Henry tells of creepy red moss that signifies impending death and destruction, Chris tells of three brothers who vanished and supposedly became beasts, and Jordan tells of The Beastly Bride.<\/p>\n

But will the story about an innocent bride whose look, touch, and voice unknowingly turns men into beasts below the belt somehow come true the following morning?<\/p>\n

At the base of Mount Madness, three old buddies are going on their yearly camping trip… at the moment stuck in traffic outside a park where apparently a wedding rehearsal is taking place. Little could they ever imagine that the bride of that rehearsal, their own imaginative stories, and the ancient evil influence of an old native path at the top of the mountain, will all come together to change their lives forever.<\/p>\n

HallowKreme walks the path between fiction and a rather beastly reality!<\/p>\n

Jordan and Chris are married so what at one time was a yearly weeklong camping trip for the two of them and their remaining single buddy Henry has become just one night a year on the peak of Mount Madness.<\/p>\n

It’s a place no one ever bothers them, mostly because of silly superstition, but this year that superstition may become more real than any of the three ever imagined.<\/p>\n

After being held up reaching their campsite by a wedding rehearsal at the base of Mount Madness, the beautiful bride they saw will inspire a story, and that story, real or not, may soon become very real for the three of them.<\/p>\n

Telling spooky stories around the campfire is just tradition and there’s no better place to tell stories than the woods of Mount Madness. But after Henry and Chris tell their spooky tales, Jordan has a tale that will top them all, incorporating elements from each, such as the creepy red moss that signifies one will either die or cause death soon, such as the vanishing of three brothers long ago that supposedly turned into primitive beasts.<\/p>\n

But Jordan has just gone off to take a piss, before telling his tale, and he may have just defiled the sacred old cedar tree at the beginning of a path determined to release the madness of his story, a story he calls The Beastly Bride.<\/p>\n

As Jordan tells it, the beastly bride can appear in many forms, but always the vision of purity and innocence. And should a man offer her a hand, speak to her and be spoken to, or just look her in the eyes, that man will suffer a twisted fate… a beastly fate, as he becomes a true beast beneath the belt, his manhood transforming into the beastly thickness of a huge animal.<\/p>\n

When they wake the next morning, someone is calling out for help nearby, and that is when the three come upon Brooke, the bride they saw the day before… as confused as they are, no idea how she got up onto Mount Madness in her dress, just wanting help getting back home. <\/p>\n

But what will happen when the guys try to help her? Is Brooke somehow merely bait in the form of a Beastly Bride, able to change these men into beasts below the belt… and helpless to avoid the somewhat fatal fate those horny beasts will inflict upon her nubile innocent body?<\/p>\n

Find out in another trip through Path-illogical madness, with a new legend about the mysteries of what happens on Mount Madness.<\/p>\n
