Double-Stuffed Kreme: Forest Freaks by Kris P. Kreme<\/p><\/div>\n

Every Double-Stuffed Kreme is twice as nice for just one price!<\/p>\n

When Miles spends the first day of a long weekend without his parents in their new isolated home surrounded by wilderness, his buddy Tony shares a seemingly silly warning to never go into the forest. There are monsters there that will turn anyone alone in the forest into a monster themselves. But after Miles’ sister Madison goes for a jog in that forest, will she become the kind of monster Tony enjoys?<\/p>\n

And when Dorian takes his new wife Janey into the forest, to a small lakeside cabin, will a chess game reveal he knows nothing about chess… or that he has really brought Janey there for a much more carnal reason?<\/p>\n

Now On Smashwords!<\/a><\/p>\n

More Double-Stuffed Kreme waits in the deep dark mysterious forest this time, and there are all kinds of dangers to be found out in the remote wilderness. But what if that danger wasn’t after a meal, but something much tastier and sure to spread those freaky wild ideas into your very minds? Two brand new twisted tales will explore the Kremey side of the forest with creatures seen and unseen.<\/p>\n

First up, Miles is just enjoying a weekend without his parents at their somewhat spacious new home in the remote wilderness. But while Miles has no interest in poison ivy or ticks, just hanging with his buddy Tony and playing pool in the basement rec room, there may be much more dangerous monsters lurking in the surrounding wilderness ready to pounce when Miles’ older sister Madison goes for a jog.<\/p>\n

Though the new house has windows with scenic views of the forest on all sides, the only scenery Tony is interested in seeing happens to be Madison, back from college for a visit, never all that friendly to either of them. But as Tony points out, she has always been hot. But as he also points out and amuses Miles with, none of them should ever… ever set foot alone in the forest. <\/p>\n

Ridiculous as it sounds, Tony claims the locals have always just known there are monsters in the forest, and that anyone that goes into the forest, should they even return, they return a monster too. <\/p>\n

But when Madison comes downstairs, dressed for a jog, Miles asks if she is going down the long driveway to the main road, and that is when Tony really gets concerned. Madison claims to have seen a little trail off in the woods beside the house, so she’s going to take her jogging there so it’s less boring. <\/p>\n

Tony immediately is looking at Madison with a little less lust and a lot more concern, warning her that she can’t go jogging into the forest. But when she asks with a doubtful look why, his claims about there being monsters in the forest and that they will turn her into a monster too are only met by rolling eyes and laughter. Even Miles doesn’t buy it, although he does notice how serious Tony seems.<\/p>\n

And while Madison heads off amused and even laughing by such a silly idea as monsters in the forest, Tony seems barely focused on playing pool, seriously concerned that she will be coming back some sort of unknown freakish monster ready to drain them of all bodily fluids.<\/p>\n

He doesn’t even know what the monsters look like or what they will do to her… only that there are monsters and something will happen. Yet Madison is enjoying her jog, the crunch of her feet in the leaves making little steady noises like a metronome, shrill birds occasionally calling out, frogs singing as she approaches a natural spring. But are the sounds starting to actually sound like words to her… and are those words the product of an overactive imagination, or could there really be unseen monsters manipulating Madison’s mind in very explicit directions?<\/p>\n

Will Madison return a monster, but of the kind Tony can definitely enjoy dealing with?<\/p>\n

But wait… there’s more!<\/p>\n

Dorian has brought his new wife Janey to a very special place in the forest, a remote lakeside cabin located on a small island in the middle of a lake surrounded by wilderness. But just how special is this place, and why is it an important part of Dorian’s family history?<\/p>\n

The answers may change everything Janey thinks of her husband, and right now mostly what she finds herself thinking is that he clearly does not know how to play chess.<\/p>\n

After arriving and settling in at the remote cabin, they have set up a little chess game on the couch and every move Dorian makes is wrong. But is he really trying to distract her from those moves with the suggestive flirty comments he keeps making, or is Dorian making all the wrong moves for reasons she’ll soon understand?<\/p>\n

It’s definitely a game they are playing, as Janey keeps ignoring the comments, laughing them off, and moving his pieces back where they were, asking him to make a move the game allows. But is this more a game of the mind, one his new smart beautiful young wife is hopeless to ever win?<\/p>\n

They came to the old family cabin for a romantic weekend, and Janey naturally knew that would mean sex, but is this about more than sex for Dorian? Who is he… really? What is he? And what are his plans for his new wife in the deep dark wilderness, on a remote lake?<\/p>\n

Find out in the new tale that gives new meaning to the term CheckMATE.<\/p>\n

Double-Stuffed Kreme brings you all the best kinds of Forest Freaks this issue, but will they remain in the forest forever?<\/p>\n
