For the month of October, my life kinda change so let me take you through this so I was born on 0ctober 31,2004 and my dad was never around I tried asking my mom but no luck it always gets weird so i stopped. It gets even weirder my mom never let me out of the house on Octobers. only on Octobers after the month pass, she is totally normal anyways that just a glimpse of my backstory so it was October 1, 2019 midnight and I was awake watching movies and someone came knocking on the door and I ignore it thinking it was the neighbor's kids and then it knock again I was starting to get scared so I went to call my mom and when she looked no one was there but a bad smell was left so I just went to my bed thinking I was just imaging things but it happened again for 5 days straight it drove me crazy. then we thought about putting up cameras and we did and tour surprised a man dress in full black clothing with a deer skeleton f face stand at the door. We decided to catch this guy in the act. Day 7 we stayed up and nearly felling asleep and then we heard the knocking and we opened the door and I saw the same man. I started shaking, my heart started to beat even faster, skin started to turn pail but my mom stand there still in no shock and just said what do you want and the man just answers and said to see my daughter then mom turned and said kido meet your dad. I shouted my dad it can't be. He proceeds to walk into the house and mom never stopped him. so I shouted what are you doing here and my mom told me to just shut up and so I did. Sitting in the living room and an awkward silence hit the room and so he started talking my daughter your 16 now and it's time you learn your family heritage and come live with me. I refuse but my mom said don't worry he won't do anything stupid I keep you in here every October because he asked telling me if the rest of his kind finds out that he had a mixed breed kid they would kill you in the blink of an eye. I asked what is his kind and he proceeds to tell me he was of the ancient windigo tribe which I asked what are windigo. well in short they are an evil soul who can change form and decisive humans to take their souls and their main purpose is to gather as much soul on Halloween as possible. I didn't want to leave but my mom forces me and said this will probably be best for me and if I need her to call her. day 8 I was at his house or whatever this is and I saw bones everywhere I felt like to run away but I just stuck around to know him better to see if he is really a bad person. 3 days went by and I started to miss my mom so get up out of my bed and went to his room to see if he had any phone. I looked and a creature stands about 15 feet and tall skinny claws with a skinny structure eating something I looked on the floor and saw blood so I run back to my room he heard me and something ran behind me and I ran, ran, ran as fast as I could I felt right in front of a mirror and behind there he was with eyes as black as night stearing deep into my soul, bloody claws grabbed me and he said this is who we are child, now get some sleep tomorrow we prepare for the 31st and this shall be your birthday present. after that interaction, I started training and was relaxing changes in my behavior from being a human to a monster. the final night has arrived and we were preparing so i he called me into a room filled with windigos and introduces me and said in order for you to become a fully-fledged windigo you must kill your mother. I hesitated against that idea and asked why and he said well windigos are murderous creatures and your mother is the first human to conceive a windigo child and survive. normally they died in the process. I said no I want to quit so they chased me. I ran into the woods and lost them I stop behind a huge tree but I forgot to go to my mom and I rushed back as fast as I can but the door was already opened and she was on the ground blood everywhere so I cried screaming on top of my lungs the only person I cared about gone. so I went on a rampage killing left to right. I came upon my dad and we started fighting and it was fatal he bit me on my arm and kicked him in a building for about an hour the fight went on so I decided to take the last blow decapitating him. I looked around and was looked at as a monster and I don't wrong them for that so I returned back to the forest but my nature started to kick in and that same night I was in 7 different community forest started killing a lot of trick-or-treaters who dear come upon the forest and that's how a month change my life not for the better but for the worst every October I'll return getting ready to take more people but in the rest of the months, I'll spend my time training to become the leader and picked up what my dad left off and see you next October when we become the greatest monsters. the end
