Beware The Swamp

Timothy lives on the edge of a terrible swamp, and his mother warns him never to go in because the gaters, the snappers, and the leeches will get him. He’d a good boy, so he never disobeys. But one day his girlfriend ignores his warning and goes in... and she never comes back.

Then, his mother disappears.

If Timothy is ever going to see her again, he has to risk the Swamp... but he is about to find out not all monsters are animals.

Beware the Swamp is a 3000 word short story.
