They Watch Me

A crinkle of a chip bag rattled from the little car, the prying woman now smacking on her crispy cheesy delights, watching the Allison show. Just ignore her; she would go away. But they never do. Allison Fellman wants to fit in, but the people around her keep her at a distance. Always scolding and sneering, always… watching. Just like on the farm when she was a child. Her mom doesn't talk about what happened. Allison is not allowed to ask why her dad won't ever come home again. An unspoken rule held between them since she was young. The years pass in tense silence on the old farm as Allison tries to live a normal life. But she can't. She's afraid to sleep at night. Demonic shadows manifest themselves out of the corners of her mind, pointing to a place called Redden Lake. After sneaking out of the house, Allison travels to the sinister lake with a few of her college friends. She meets some strange new people who knew her father but stay silent about the past. Undaunted, she keeps asking around but only gets the attention of a provocative masked man named Coy, who seems to know more than he is saying. After a mutilated body is found in the forest, Allison questions Coy's intentions while also fighting back memories of what really happened on the old farm. "They Watch Me" is an eerie horror story with touches of humor that lead you to the roller-coaster ending.
