♥ Black Thorn ♥
From the time we were little everyone has known about fairy tales and how they always start with once upon a time. Then as we get older we discover the exhilarating frightfulness of the horror story, but the story I’m going to tell you today is of a different sort.
It is said that on the completion of reading this story of mystery and intrigue based in a little town in the middle of Australia called Black Thorn your life will never be the same.
It all starts 50 years ago when the town was booming, and greed was overtaking everyone, with the sales everywhere booming and with it the rich grew richer while the poor grew poorer. There came to be more and more family’s turned out of their homes to live on the streets as those of privilege took over the town.
But not everyone was willing to bow down and watch as the town that had been their home for so long went to the rich guy. True many of the homeless families moved away to build their lives up again. A few remained however living on the mountain which for some unexplainable reason could not be altered by the money driven town people.
As much as they tried with machinery and brute force the mountain was unchangeable no tree fell to the lumberjacks or the heavy machinery.
The poor town people lived on the mountain happy and healthy while the rich grew ill with an unexplained disease. One that no one could find the cure for and as the disease took hold people began to pass on.
Soon Black Thorn was littered with bodies, all too sick to bury the dead and more joining them rapidly. Before long the town was empty and the few poor people that had remained in the mountain ventured down.
Seeing the wave of bodies strewn around their beloved town they set to work at the cemetery. Moving and burying bodies giving each a headstone, as they had known those in the town well.
But unlike most towns the inscriptions were not kind they told of the greed and hatred for others rather then the older ones, which told of love and joy.
Soon the last of the townspeople left and Black Thorn was abandoned the bush began to take over growing up in and around the buildings, all that remained in perfect condition were the graves of the greedy and Black Thorn Mountain.
But one day it all disappeared, as if it was never there nestled in the middle of the outback, but where had it gone?
Well prepare to find out.
Welcome to Black Thorn!
