Night in the Woodsby Rejoinable3There is an old game that dates back as far as humans have held malice towards each other and the world around them. To play this game, you do not need any special equipment, but I would recommend taking a few things with you, as you'll probably need these to survive.1. Take light or heavy clothing, depending on your area. You'll know which to take if you're familiar with the place the game takes place in. If you don't know, it's better to pick light clothing if you have good pain tolerance.2. Take a phone if possible. This can provide light, as you'll be playing in the dark, and the time, which is very helpful. Make sure to turn it on silent, though.3. Try to find an uncommon weapon. The best suggestion for this would be to make some kind of your own weapon that has a strange design and usage, but still works well. I'll explain why later. If you can't, bring a small handgun or knife.4. Something to start a fire with would be helpful, like a match or a lighter. If you don't have any, get one or learn how to make a fire from sticks and kindling.To start this ritual, you need to go to the largest forest near you. Trespass if you need too, but make sure you won't get shot on sight. Not that many people with a sane mind would be out that late, anyway. It's better if you get there earlier to get a feeling of your surroundings, especially when there is still daylight, but the latest I'd arrive is 10 P.M. Make sure you are also well rested, you'll need the energy. The first step to starting the game is to find a dark opening of some kind. It can be a cave, an animal den, anything large enough to throw a rock in and something that you cannot see into naturally. No, the dark forest will not work. If you can't find something like it by 11 P.M, just give up and go home. Then, grab a rock. The bigger the better, but if you couldn't find a large opening like a cave, a small one will do.You can either check your phone, a watch if you can see it, or use the moon to estimate the time, but once it hits about 11:30 P.M, it's time to begin. Go to the opening and grab your rock. Make a small fire with whatever you brought with you, or start one with sticks. This is the tricky part. Try to remember something or someone you hate, it could even be your own actions. Channel all that negative energy in yourself, and drop the rock into the fire. In doing this, you are releasing the malice from yourself and allowing it to take form from something else, in this case the rock, though I'm sure there are other methods of doing so. If you did it correctly, the rock will burn. Reach and grab the rock, if you have been following every step perfectly so far, you will feel no pain from the fire. However, the fire will make you feel uncontrollable rage or sadness. Try your best to control yourself, if you got anger instead of sadness then this part will be a lot easier, it really just depends on your temperament as a person. Hurl the rock into the dark space and wait.If you did all the steps correctly, you will see something in the darkness very clearly. This will be whoever you hate most. If you have any strong negative feelings towards some kind of god, then you shouldn't even try. Hopefully it's not too dangerous, though even if it's as simple as a human being it's strength and speed will be unlike any other. I've talked to a few people who completed the ritual and I can give some examples of what you might come across.One of them had two abusive parents that ruined his childhood. Both of them were there, in the shape they were in when he was a kid, but with a much superior physical build.Another was stung by a wasp when he was a toddler and feared them ever since. His enemy took the form of an anthropomorphic wa
