‘King Of The Mountain ‘ By Noah Whaley

It’s a plethora of short stories that is told through one main story. A group of hikers go on a hiking trip in the mountains and gets caught in a bad storm that forces them to take shelter in a nearby cave. A short while later a stranger appears that asks if he can come into the cave to get out of the rain. Not long after he pulls out a gun and an empty liquor bottle which he spins in the middle of the hikers. Whoever the bottle lands on is forced to tell a scarey story and if the stranger doesn’t like the story he kills them. Each hiker tells a story. This goes on until only one person is left inside of the cave with the stranger. The two of them get into a fight in which the hiker manages to throw the stranger off of the mountain. Once the authorities are notified about the incident they go to the mountain to recover the deceased individuals. Only to find that everyone is there, except for the stranger that had forced the hikers to tell stories. From here the story is to be continued.
