Speaker 1: Last year, Robert Bergman moved into the house next door,
and when he introduced himself to us, my ears rang loudly,
hold like like alarm bells. You know what feeling like
fight or flight response? Strange given that I knew nothing
about him. Rob was a tall man, stopping out of
like six', five wore a glum book on his thin,
lips lips half covered by his shaggy gray, beard but
he thought bleak. Expression he wore a loose fitting, clothes
green leather, jacket flared black trousers like some time displaced Progged.
Rocker my new neighbor looked a little, odd no doubt about,
That BUT i still wasn't sure why he unnerved. Me
have you noticed that he always? Limps asked my Friend.
STEVE a couple of months, ago you were passing a
foot ball back and, forth half watching my. Oddball neighbor
mowed the, lawn waring with the frost tipped. GLASSES i,
shrugged rolled the ball back across the slippery. Gravel oh, no,
MAN i try to steer clear of. Him ten more
months UNTIL i moved TO. Uni Isn't rob friends with your?
Dad steve, asked you'll probably end up seeing him. SOMETIMES
i saw. It don't remind, me he. Chuckled you, Know,
danny his right leg always seems to bulge a little
more than the. OTHER i, groan and once again we
returned To steve's, Podcast rob's, Knob my friend hittered and
let the football come to a. Stop, wait look at.
Him he's carrying a ton of weight around on the
right trouser. Leg, right he has to Be why else
would he be limping for literally any other? Reason, STEVE
i replied about that night In. February he, asked voice suddenly,
quieter as if he worried That, rob over the roar
of the, lawnmower might hear. HIM i shook my, head
brow creased. Slightly we were, Drunk steve, Shrugged, sure but
it was. Real whatever, happened it woke us. Both it
Was rob's, CAT i, croaked, unconvincingly. SHUDDERING i recalled the
midnight awakening that followed my birthday outing and my friends,
Afterwards with too much alcohol in his blood to drive,
Home steve had crashed in my. Room it wasn't a,
cat my friend, whispered you know what we? SAW i,
DON'T i said, meekly AND i, didn't BUT i knew
That steve was. Right it was no. Cat cats don't
make whatever sound we, heard deep bubbling and ear, battering
a deafening noise more like that of the broth on
a hob rather than a living. Thing the, startling grown
Yank steve and me out of our bed sent us
scuttling towards my, window knocking liquor fueled. Legs the strongest
bottle of booze in the world didn't cause joint. Hallucinations
As steve, SAID i knew what we'd both. Seen something
poking over the wooden fence In Robert bergman's. Garden there
stood something, tall shipped like nothing, earthly wearing the night
like a. Shawl, it whatever it may have, been came
from somewhere. ELSE i know, that AND i know it
wasn't a trick of the dim. Moonlight it Wasn't rob's
washing rotary folding up into a thin, pole wasn't an
open shed. Door it was, alive and it, spun, spun
then shot at frightening speed towards the patio doors Of rob's.
Home the shape didn't rise and fall naturally like a,
person but disjointedly like Nothing i'd ever. SEEN i Know
i'm that, Crazy steve, SAID i see it in your, Eyes.
Danny over recent, Weeks i've been thinking and thinking about that.
Conversation wasn't until Last, saturday, however THAT i faced the,
truth faced something more than an indus in a shadow
over a garden, fence through a house party whilst my
parents were, away And steve got himself into a little,
trouble not a habit of, his but that last can
of Scrumpy jack really did a number on his, tongue
made him say something regrettable To Terry. Rosten and we
don't talk To Terry, rostin don't even invite him into,
parties but he always shows, up frightens, everybody and he
delights in doing. So hours after the party, Ended terry came.
Back he Knocked steve into his, back flattened my dumbfounded.
Friend the second he answered the, DOOR i was standing
in the middle of the living room with a clear
view of the lobby through the, doorway clear view of
that maliciously smiling, classmate, who to me it always looked
like something more than a, peer more than a. Boy
terry was, bulky too bulky for an eighteen year old
whose form seemed to fill the, hallway and that was
WHY i simply watched as the horror. Began As Terry,
rosten smiling at, me repeatedly slammed each of his fists
Into steve's, face and whilst he, did he kept his
head twisted to the, side kept his wrenched gaze locked onto.
Mine AS i, said he delighted in frightening, people delighted
in horrifying me with the torture of, waiting waiting to
meet the same. Fate, STILL i surprised myself When steve's
sputters started to, quiet and one of my feet lurched,
forward AND i prepared to challenge the haunting ghoul in the.
Entryway terry took a turn at surprising, me, however by
stopping short of taking my friend's. Life and it wasn't
that the monster had seen me take a tentative step.
Forward it was that he heard What i'd, heard that
familiar bubbling sound of bottomless. Depth terry snarled and, twisted
clearly ready to turn his fists into a new, victim
but he changed upon seeing something beyond my field of.
View immediately shrank from a hefty haunting man into a,
teenager a, boy something. LESS i finally saw the brute
as he had always been. Minuscule THEN i didn't See
terry at, all as his rag doll body was yanked
with a series of, snaps out of, sight yanked towards
the front. DOOR i, screamed screamed Because terry's body had
disappeared in a split, second scream because he hadn't, screamed
and just WHAT i felt the scream. Die as the
last puff of air left my, lungs there came a,
second startling. Horror terry's body flew back across the, entryway
falling alongside Unconscious, steve who lay on the. Floorboards the
horrid boy lay in a broken tangle of, red strained,
limbs but still clung to, life gasped for help with my.
BREATH i found myself unable to scream a second, time
SO i simply stood AND i, watched watched as a
shadow washed across the far wall of the, hallway the
SHADOW i recognized from that night back In. February it
was joined by floorboards creaking under some, unimaginable unthinkable, weight
one that moved with a stilted janky, motion and the
shadowy thing stepped past the edge of the lounge's, doorframe
finally revealing itself to. Me my, jaw my jaw Hung
there came an unclothed, leg the bare calf and thigh
of something longer than an ordinary, Limb and at the
end of this alien, appendage rather than a, foot was
a human, hand one with fingers flat against the. Floor
into view came left and right legs of human proportions and,
design naked limbs moving like some macabre. Tripod human legs
swung through the, air propelled forward by the bending third,
leg which emerged From rob's groin in place of a.
Member the, nude three legged creature walked through my parents',
hallway still sufficiently by the glow of the street lamp
at the end of my. Driveway it Was. Rob of,
COURSE i had always known. THAT i had always known
that my neighbor wasn't, right wasn't like, us which is
a fucking. UNDERSTATEMENT i, know as the man had a
hand footed leg instead of a penis no terry, screamed
hands raised, defensively mouthful of blood and. Regret but it
was too. Late Robert, bergman the man that eyed both
correctly and incorrectly, judged lowered himself onto his two human.
Legs then he lifted the, third the inexplicable limb protruding
from his, groin lifted it over the brutalized body Of
Terry rostin for merely a moment before hammering it into
the monster's. Face they Handcovered terry's mouth and, nose and
the wide eyed boy squirmed uselessly under the full might
Of rob's third. Leg under the monster's fingers that Shut
terry from the, world shut his nostrils and lips so
that he would slowly and painfully. Suffocate minutes, later my
neighbor lifted his third, leg uncovered the brute who had
so nearly murdered my friend nearly come for me. Too
rob Scooped terry's body into his alien limb as if
it were an enormous talon then and the inhuman thing
turned towards the, door swaying restlessly in the. WIND i
don't know what the three legged thing did With Terry roston's.
BODY i don't know whether the police ever find out
why that boy went. Missing for my neighbor limped. Home
he looked at, me frozen teenagers standing in his own piss,
puddle looked at me with these glistening gray, pupils dark
eyes that nevertheless shone brighter than the. Black. Wow, yes
it's about the only THING i know for sure About
Robert bergman he either, kids it's, me mister Creepy. PASTA
