Digging Up the Marrow Page #3

like a serpent's mouth.

It was sort of pointed

and it had real

thin lips and, er,

splayed over

the bottom lip was, uh,

I swear to God, a forked tongue.

And then when he blinked,

his eyelids

closed from the sides,

not horizontally up and down,

it was like...

I'd never seen anything

like that before in my life.

It terrified me.

Did he say anything to you?

No, he didn't say a word.

He just looked at me,

hard, and then he jumped

behind a wood-pile,

and I, and I ran around

the corner of the wood-pile.

He was gone.

Just, gone? He just vanished?

- He's disappeared.

- Here one second, gone the next.

Gone, vanished..

So, did you ever

tell anybody about it?

- Like your mom or your dad...

- No...

And they wouldn't

have believed me anyway,

they would've thought I was

some kind of a nut, you know?

The overactive imagination

on wha... on their boy,

You know?

Probably would've thought I was

schizophrenic or something.

You know?

Yeah. Er...

And I felt that way

sometimes too.

Talking to my imaginary,

er, friends in the woods.

And I, er, never saw him again,

I did see others, though.

Oh, yeah...

Other, serpent, monster men?

Not serpent men,

I just saw other,

different ones, OK?

So, like a variety?

I-I never got

as close to any of them

as I did that first one, but,

if I hid in one of the buildings

'till it got dark,

and I looked into the woods,

I'd see their shapes,

moving through the woods.

And there were big ones,

lumbering.

And there were little ones

that were darting in and out.

I saw their shapes. I saw them.

Well, anyway,

after about three months,

er, I shot some footage there.

Oh, you got footage of,

of the monsters?

No, it was daytime.

I couldn't get

any footage of them.

So what did you get?

Well, I found

what I believe to be

the entrance

to their hiding place.

The Marrow?

The Marrow.

So, what do you think?

It's not a bad first day, right?

No, it was good.

It gets more comfortable...

Hey! Tell him not to touch that.

He's not... those aren't...

Those are our cords, it's fine.

What do you guys think?

Ten minutes to get outta here?

It took me 30 years

to get all this stuff together.

I don't want them

messing with it.

You do it in ten?

Ah, yeah, it's a lot of stuff...

A lot of stuff. What I really

wanted to ask though is, um..

Wait, wait, wait,

what's that behind you?

Oh, yeah, what you got in there?

Er, it's a storage room.

Storage room?

Can we see what's inside?

- I rather you didn't...

- Oh, but...

- Dude!

- It's a mess!

OK, all right!

Hey!

What the f***?

- Adam?

- Yes?

- Come here...

- Coming.

All right, looking good!

Thank you.

Er, that corn's
