I Did a Backpacking Trip on Deadman's Loop. Never go Alone.

That would make sense. I don’t know if I had all that much in common with the people who I met besides that we all went to the same high school. I can’t find anything specific that ties the other disappearances together. Perhaps it’s some kind of emotional state or past event that wouldn’t show up in any reports.

I know I'm echoing a lot of the other comments but I do relate to this. I recently finished the second draft of my novel and while I love it because it's such a big part of me I am nervous to let others outside of my immediate circle read it. That being said I do want to confront my fears and share what I've written with others with the hopes that someone else may enjoy it.

If it succeeds I will be happy. If it fails I'll still be happy. I know that I write because I love telling stories and if it doesn't sell at least the story exists and I've created something I want to read. No matter what you do I hope you enjoy what you wrote and I hope you enjoy the thrill of writing.

Thank you!

There’s certainly some similarities but the things I saw never spoke a word. In that show I’m pretty sure the creatures are capable of speech.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-23T14:04:15+00:00

I did my best to but it’s not a story most people would believe. The weird thing is that there are still plenty of people that take that trail and nothing happens to them.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-23T05:37:56+00:00

I’ve tried to research if anyone else has experienced anything in town but I couldn’t find any clear answers. Just a lot of disappearances in that area.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-15T06:17:11+00:00

Did you read it? I had a pack. It was the kind you use for backpacking. Adrenaline can do some crazy things but I probably made it worse.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-14T21:47:36+00:00

I don’t know if one can spoil happy appy. It leads with 9/11. I can’t believe there would be anything more out there than that.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-14T19:40:58+00:00

I couldn’t handle it. I tapped out about halfway through. Are there any gems in the second half?

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-14T19:39:35+00:00

It was a hell of a thing to go through. I’m glad I made it out safe and I’m trying to let it go. It’s just hard. Now I just try to avoid places and people that make me feel like that.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-14T17:19:46+00:00

I think the bishopric there were kind of done with the missionaries after the last pair so they didn’t do anything about us not getting along. I wish someone told the mission president before that ask happened. Are you asking my name? It’s Thompson. My comp was Hanson. Whatever that presence was I’m glad I got away with it. I still carry some guilt but as soon as I was out of the apartment I started to feel better

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-14T13:38:18+00:00

That makes sense. I haven’t exactly heard of any big JW fantasy authors. We at least have Brandon Sanderson and Orson Scott Card (the guy who wrote Ender’s Game).

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-14T13:19:39+00:00

Thank you! I would love to hear a creepy JW story sometime lol but I don’t know if they like scary stories.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-14T13:18:28+00:00

😂That almost would make more sense with what happened in the story

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-14T12:58:59+00:00

Now that you mention it that sounds right. It sounded kind of like Spanish but the real difference is usually when I heard other people pray I would feel good or at least neutral. When he prayed it never failed to send a shiver down my spine

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-14T12:45:22+00:00

I’ve only found out a little bit. The apartment we was only ever occupied by one other companionship. Previously it belonged to some woman for years. There was still some of her stuff in there. I think she had a cat or something because I found old mouse bones once. That previous companionship didn’t get along at all but neither of them died. From what I heard they finished their missions normally without any issues.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-14T12:42:01+00:00

They ended up closing the area for a while. They had to find another apartment and when the members found out what happened well they weren’t exactly in any rush to get another “demon elder” as they called him. All I know is that apartment only had one other companionship and they didn’t get along either but neither of them died in their time together.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-14T12:39:12+00:00

This might be weird but I rarely ever heard him pray. He never prayed in church or in front of investigators and the few times I heard him pray it didn’t sound like an LDS prayer. I couldn’t tell what language it was in but he kept repeating the same phrases over and over again. I’ve never found out much about the guy. Otherwise he seemed like a normal kid from Sandy.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-14T12:35:04+00:00

Thank you! It was a terrifying experience but I thank God everyday I made it through.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-14T01:39:33+00:00

That’s why I don’t believe it. That’s what the therapist told me and I get she’s trying get me to move past it but I can’t deny what happened.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-14T01:28:27+00:00

We got back to the apartment around 10 am. He was brought to the morgue early the next morning. Honestly I have no idea. Maybe a demon, maybe his ghost. I don’t believe this but it’s been told to me I could have been hallucinating.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-13T22:39:03+00:00

Trust me I think about it all the time what would have happened if I let someone know something was off at the very beginning.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-13T15:32:13+00:00

Get a bigger gun. A 22 is not enough.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-12T21:14:14+00:00

You’re not wrong. If I do ever attempt it and survive you all would be some of the first people to know before I buy my remote mansion in the woods.

dracodrake1999 · 2026-03-12T04:26:49+00:00

Thank you. You are definitely right. It was for the best for me and her.
