"The Sunday Special" Creepypasta

dan was sick of rural America and wanted nothing more than to be back in Chicago if our afraid from anything resembling a cornfield but instead he was driving through an Iowa winter with huge white field stretching into the distance on every side every 5 minutes a lonely farmhouse would appear off in the distance along stone paved driveway between him in the highway the road felt like it was cut off on the rest of humanity a single dark line through otherwise pale lonely world it had been half an hour since he'd seen another car and then there was the cold even with the car heater on full blast and the bitter cold seeped in through the windows dan looked into the rearview mirror and saw a large dark mass of clouds rolling across the sky behind him he couldn't tell which direction they were heading but he hoped it was away from his destination looking back in front of him dan saw a road sign to the ride he only caught a glimpse of it as he went by openness to the town he was heading towards was nearby unfortunately ice and snow clung to the front of the side preventing him from seeing anything other than a C or a No dan was looking for her town that started with an owl as the turn approach to him decided that and he needed a break from driving on the godforsaken highway for a bit anyways even if it wasn't the town he was looking for maybe he could get something to eat Anna and he's taught to someone eight hours of icy roads had taken its toll Dan turn right down the smaller but thankfully plowed and salted country road five minutes down the road Dan saw a large sign saying welcome to camp song he had never heard of the place and it definitely wasn't how where he wanted to be checking his watch he saw that it was nearly seven o'clock it had some time to get some food and still make it before midnight as the first street lights from camp song came into view a building appeared along the left side of the road and there was something off about it that made Dan want to take a closer look and slowing down the car he could see the structure illuminated by a single streetlight that seemed to be placed there just for ED it was an old abandoned shop with a large bettered sign that read Malick's Meads and faded letters most of the windows were shattered dan just assumed that kids at throwing rocks at them and there was usually spattering of graffiti some of the half artistic and then there is something else painted on in front of the store much larger than the other graffiti it's a den a few moments to realize that it was a skeletal Eagle the artwork is Rothman not bad the skeletons head was rolled back screeching up into the sky raggedy patches of shadowed feathers hung beneath the arm bones then stared at the painting for almost a minute before realizing that he had brought the car to a full stop in the middle of the highway he took one last glance at Malik's meats and drove on to the camp's on it was more of a village than a town cam song appeared to be about 30 buildings in the middle of nowhere his tan run to a stop in an intersection in the middle of town an old pickup putted through the road in front of him and pulled into a parking lot filled with two cars three pickups and a tow truck then assumed that that must be the place to go on this town turning into the lot den saw a sign above the door that read Em's tavern and rad blocky letters and Dan parked the car in one of the few empty spots before getting out of the car he pulled the zipper on his coat up to his throne he'd paid a couple hundred dollars for the insulated coat on that night and was worth every penny he hopped out of his car under the cracked asphalt of the parking lot making his way towards the rough wooden door Dan had to swerve around a pile of cigarette butts in the middle of a lot a small paper sign hung on the outside of the door reading Saturday special a tenderloin sandwich and then didn't think that Sun of too bad as he swung a door opener open he didn't get a splinter off of it his soon as Dan entered a smell of tobacco smoke Adam apparently the log in smoking the bars was then taken as a suggestion out here the hazy interior looked almost exactly as Dan at picture dead the walls were all fake wooden panels with random sports teams logos plastered to them several cheap looking tables were surrounded by at least two different styles of chairs for patrons circled a pool table in the back and they appeared to be the source of most of the smoke in the building but the bar itself was to his left it ran the length of the building and looked as all might fall apart at any time the four men set at the right end of the bar and occasionally yelling at a TV showing a football game now why and is sit next to the other customers but not wanting to make it look like he didn't you didn't care about the football game dan was more of a baseball fan almost as soon as he sat down a man came in from the back of the room and slippy on the bar after making sure the men in front of the TV you're okay he walked on to where Dan was sitting hmm I presume ass Dan and the bartender chuckled he was a nice-looking guy that Dan assumed was in his mid thirties the names Mike the man said in a calm measured voice and but yes this is my place just getting into town seemed like a good idea at the time said Dan can I get a rum and coke in one of those tenderloins the kook just left for the night actually I said Mike grabbing a bottle of rum in a glass but I can get you that drink and Dan was annoyed that he couldn't get a sandwich but it wasn't keen on making a scene in the middle of a dive bar so you stopped in here you're going to our remote like everybody else uh neither actually said Dan I'm heading to or della ah said Mike and then you came down the wrong road man and he sent the finished drink down in front of Dan and nothing this way but camp song Ann Arbor Mel what kind of name is camps on a Stannah taking a SAP well it used to be something French and said Mike and then they changed it why did they do that to make it less French said Mike welcome back down the bar to grab a few of the guys some more beers out of the cooler what's an arbor Bell nest Anna's Mike walked over to the cash register in front of them you haven't heard yes Mike is he rang up a few drinks I propose the new ghost capital of the world he finished ringing them up and turned back around to Dan all sort of stories started coming out of there a few months back and now every ghost hunter and their sister wants to go there and who make him Bank off the tourists ass dad taking a large swig of his drink let's just say I'm getting plenty out of it who said Mike so what's the city boy like you doing in Adela and that obvious a Stan and Mike just shrugged and then figure there is no harm in telling the bartender his business you didn't plan to be back in camp song ever again well my a my grand aunt Ida and I'm heading to the funeral well I'm sorry to hear that said Mike don't be it's okay said Dan and we weren't what you called very close and I'm pretty sure she moved back to the old family home in the middle of nowhere just so people would have to drive out here there is more than a hint of spite in Dan's voice and he was sure was lost on the bartender and the customer close to Sudan had his head tilted just enough that Dan suspected that he was listening in as well and not a family man a ask Mike dan laughed a little bit too loudly and he sent down the last of his drink before answering you could feel the alcohol barely starting to hit him my family has a tradition when someone dies said Dan they get there as soon as possible pretend to be sad and then lewd everything that Canada has sounds fun said Mike I'm sure your family reunions are a blast dan sighed and glanced over at the group in front of the TV a couple of them looked away quickly it seemed like the out-of-towner was the entertainment for the night and when he turned back to Mike he found a fresh drink sitter in front of them thank you and said Dan not asking how he had got it out so quickly he took his sip from the new drink and then went back to talking the last time there is a family cash grab the old did he grab something that was 100% mine out of my parents house I'll be damned if anybody else is going to get it well good luck said Mike avoiding the obvious question of what the item was and watch out anode Allah why's that our remiel has ghost anode Ella has monsters send Mike half grinning most of them are in state prison an hour and what does cam song had done yes then making a note to vacate the county as quickly as he could well we have a dive bar said Mike breaking into a loud laugh dan heard a chordal from the group at the end of the bar and apparently a quality butcher shop under Dan something changed in the room as the words left his mouth everything said I think I quieter even the men playing pool in the back at 1:00 I firmly on dan dan had already felt awkward but for the first time that night he felt a twinge of fear go down his spine and Dan leaned down to the bar towards Mike and looked him in the eye yeah Malick's said Mike his voice lowering that's an interesting story I'm not going anywhere said Dan chicken his watch and the numbers were slightly blurry and I must have been making the thing strong Mike stood back up and looked around the bar with slight trepidation and Dan assumed that he was just adding suspense but there was something about the change in the other customers that gave him a sliver of doubt it was back in 1935 in the middle of the Great Depression a man called Walton Malik in DCAM song had opened his butcher shop began Mike his voice too kind of strange edge as he told the story it sounded like how someone would tell a ghost story around a campfire he came from Arbor mo back when people didn't trust anyone that came from there all that easily and there are no teller with the last couple of towns that had alcohol blood left denim and now call as dan an old native tribe that used to live around here in eldona County and people around here weren't particularly fond of Indians a Stan Mike gave him a luck that had the tiniest bit of anger in it and then shut up and took another drink the mail call were a really odd tribe that believed in really old ways and said Mike and every other tribe around here was terrified on them they used to say that Dark Gods wanted Malka villages and they said bone Eagles whoever had Dan thought back to the unnerving image painted on the side of Malik's means and looking around he saw that everybody in the bar was listening to the bartender and they probably heard it a hundred times but they still had to listen to the obviously well practice story so no and they didn't like the Malka and most of them had what they called the alkalis pale blue malik Adam - so he was on the outs already with most of the town until he actually started selling meat and then they liked him fine and said Dan taken another swig of his drink oh yes yes they did said Mike cheapest meat in the stayed courtesy of his brothers farm back in hodella and every Sunday he'd put up a sign for the sunday special huh the people would come here from miles around for the barbecue pork on Sundays and Dan thought he knew were the story of a setting and so everybody in camp song was happy and then one day and guy goes to see his sister no della and as he's leaving he decides he wants to go see Malik's brother and thank him for giving him the meat so cheap let me gasp said Dan there was no Malik farm Mike's cough does if he had planned out of a ski man oh no there's a farmer Ryan said Mike and the Mentos Malik's brother that the cows and chickens are all well and good but when were the pigs for the sunday special the brother tells him that he hasn't had pigs in years so we asked if there's another Malik farm in Harbor Bell and his brother says now the only other Malik and Oh della is his older brother the sheriff in at the jail and there it is so Donna slurring his words slightly so he was sending them prisoners to I saw that coming didn't you ask my looking Dan straight in the eye it's kind of hard not to said Dan Mike Grande not looking his pista Sam thought he might be for blowing the big finale and his then when to take another drink you notice that the group at the end of the bar was still watching by contently that's not the end said Mike after the man got back to camp song he route up the mob and they headed out to Malick's to bring him to justice to lynch him in other words said Dan more or less said Mike so they dragged Malik out of his shop and he stands heard from the mob and a son it's just how you treat me after I've fed all of you for years you all still have money in your pockets because I saw a different way we can still go back to the way if we stop this right now and nobody outside Camp song never has to know might pause what happened then so Dan they took a boat the whole bottle of 50 people decided right there whether to hang Malachor let him keep doing a saying and well you saw the butcher shop said Mike bending down to where his eyes were inches away from Dan's well what do you think Mike whispered in a strange eerie tone Dan lowered his eyes to the bar while he considered Mike suddenly slammed one hand under the bar dan the back in shock and fell straight out of the chair into the damp wood floor a moment later every other customer in the bar was laughing their asses off dan dusted him off and got back into the scene I thought Mike was a laughing it was smiling very broadly I couldn't resist said Mike yes they lynched his eyes no more Sundays special for them dan finished his drink the long gulp and slammed the glass into the bar that's a true story he asked leaning back into the chair honestly I don't think anybody even knows anymore said Mike densho gonna look down at the other customers but apparently after they got to see Mike scare the new guy they had lost interest looking down at his watch he saw that it was almost nine o'clock Wow sedan I have really got to get going how do I get to Adela from here well it's easy enough man said Mike just go back to the highway turn right it's gonna be the first left after you go over the river and great said dad get into his feed how much do I owe you not so fast it said Mike dan frozen plays how about a shot in the house to remember camp song by and Dan had never heard a bartender offer free booze before a guy was about to drive off and no thanks said Dan I don't do shots and they're the main reason I have an ex-wife oh come on said Mike with a broad grin I have a very good house shot here they pulled a clear bottle of dark red liquid from underneath the bar I call it the Malik he put a small amount into a shot glass and pushed it towards Dan perhaps it was because of the story and maybe because it just looks so much like blood the den wanted no part of the shot it's a very pretty shot so Dan but I still have to pass I have a fairway to drive into bad roads you know I understand said Mike the bartender picked up the shot and drinkin in one gulp your loss dan grabbed a $20 bill out of his wallet and laid it on the counter keep the change said Dan for the entertainment and Mike laughing had the money off the bar you're very welcome good sir said the bartender you better get a move on though pretty sure I just heard them talking over there about a winter storm coming in then looked out the window and saw splattering of snowflakes in the window he got out of bursts of profanity and ran for the door hoping to some higher power that the storm didn't get so bad moments later his car spotted to life and he skidded out of the parking lot just as a snow already began to fall and then can feel the bartender's eyes following and through the window and Dan couldn't believe how quickly the storm had rolled and as he made his way through the intersection he already had his wipers on full speed as he sped past the last buildings into the town proper the one was howling around the vehicle traveling crazy to blow it off the road at his best and what I've had an issue driving in sweather but what the strong drinks to him he knew that he had no business driving through the night he had to make it to hotel alone and he wasn't going to stay in camp song all night dance tearing through the windshield as the wipers did their best to keep the snow off of that he kept hoping the exit to the highway was closer than what he thought his Dan moved slowly down the road expecting his traction to go out at any moment if you can to hear something beneath the wind a thump a rattle sound said he shouldn't have been able to hear above the Holland wind he forced himself to pay full attention to the road knowing that his drunk ass was just hallucinating silence it was at that moment when the sound came louder than ever before and from directly above his car hood it was the sound of massive wings beating the air above him as I read terror began to creep in and dad's mind a blast of wood hit the side of the car Dan tried to straighten the car but it was for no use the car veered to the riding off the highway dance head began to swim in he was only aware of two things a large object right in front of him and the son of giant bony wings and then didn't know how long it was before he woke up but he immediately felt the bitter cold and a shooting pain in his shoulder looking around didn't realize he was still in the battered shell of what used to be his car he must have slid sideways into whatever he had hit because the passenger side door had been ripped off a frigid wind blew in through the gaping hole in the vehicle testing the limits of his heavy insulated cone Dan unfastened his seat on which he assumed was the cause of the pain in his shoulder and also the reason he was alive wanting to get a better view of the situation he shoved the driver's side door open dan fell out of the car into a foot deep snow he brushed the snow off his coat as he stung me to his suite and found himself in a halo of light he looked up through the snow falling snow to see a single streetlight that was now bent at an angle he knew where he was then look past the lighter saw the ruined facade of and Alex meets the butcher shop looked almost ethereal through the gustin's now it was there one moment and gone the next I'm secured by the snow Dan quickly decided that there was only one thing to do he had to get inside of that building before he froze to death you could think up a more extensive plan once he was out of the blizzard as he made his way past the front end of his car he saw that most of the passenger side of the hood was crushed in he wasn't sure whether his insurance was going to cover any of this mess he stumbled through the mound of snow in the center of the abandoned parking lot and found himself standing before the painting of the bone eagle he began to shiver as he looked up at the dark skeletal eye of the mural it was entirely the cold that made him do so then edit tear his eyes away from her once again as he left for the still intact door he was laughed dan was at least relieved to be out of the wind the frigid air still creeped in through the broken windows but at least someone was at the other side of the shop that was the only relief that he'd found in the ruins up Malick's meet the neighbor where the store had a strange feeling the pale light for the bent streetlight outside illuminated her room that phone is so time had stopped in it years ago while that was true that the windows were broken in piles of snow way around and speed and the rest of the shop looked as though it had not been touched by the last several decades the tile floor was largely intact as there were three rows of shelves in the middle of the room a long meat counter on the other side of the room was empty but left almost entirely functional beneath the thick layer of dust the only signs of digression were in the walls and ceiling which were full of cracks and peeled areas of paint didn't move carefully through the store and away from the windows he saw door beneath the meat counter and thought he might be able to make it through the night in the back of the store as he walked around the end of the counter and by three abandoned cooler doors he took out his phone and turned on the flashlight he considered calling somebody for help but after a moment of thought dan came to the conclusion that even if anybody knew where he was they wouldn't be getting here until the next morning he was on his own for the night he reached the door behind the antique cash register that still rested on the counter his dan reached for the door for the second time that night he heard a sound that he knew shouldn't have been there a little buzz emanated from behind the door it reminded Dan of the sound he heard coming from me Connors while they were carving up slabs of meat all he could imagine was a blade sign through flesh and bone then stood there staring at the door Shannon rationalized what he was hearing it had to be the liquor that was making him hear these things and like before in the car you couldn't have heard wings in the air dan ignored the side and pushed the door open and dug into the backroom the bus didn't give me louder but it didn't go away either dan shown his phone light around the room illuminating the abandoned cutting room you can make out a rusted metal saying Kalon counter in two doors which she supposed with a meat freezer and cooler it had the same timeless look as the main chop room but at least it was slightly warmer dan sat down in the antique tile floors away Vanaja washed over him the only thing you wanted was to pass out and figure out a way to get to our devil in the morning he shut off his phone light and he lowered his body onto the ground he was seconds from unconsciousness when he rolled over and felt something cold and wet on his cheek then left the liquid off his cheek with the ground he turned his fault light back on expecting to see half melted snow on his fingers but instead they were he streaked with crimson dan slowly moved his eyes to the floor and he saw a small puddle of blood where is headed Batna he quickly began to fool around asada searching for what he was sure would be a gushing head wound finding nothing but a matted area of hair he rose to his feet and pointed his light at the counter above him and gleaming meat cleaver lay on the ground a small puddle of blood beneath it was running off and out of the floor below Dan jumped away from the blade and felt the antique sink dig into his back a rusted edge jumping into his back through his cone and the cleaver just lay there ominously the instructor to remember whether he saw when he came into the room was it another thing that wasn't really there as he stood there obsessing with his back against the sink a loud cracking noise came from his right and this time Dan cannot suppress a frightened whimper from coming out of his mouth as he dropped shuddering to the floor something from earlier in that night came back to Dan the state prison less an hour away it suddenly made more sense than anything that he had just found the lair of an escaped prisoner so many one was left of his composure dan crept forward and grabbed the bloody meat cleaver off the counter the blade was as cold as ice drying himself up to his full height and ready in the cleaver dents put into the doorway to face whatever was there he instantly froze as he thought of Salva staring into the empty eye socket of a skeletal eagle it stood atop the weathered me Connor one claw perched upon the old cash register the thing was massive him blocking his view of anything else through the doorway tatters of flesh clung to its skeletal frame its wings were barely cohesive masses of rotting feathers its head back and forth the dark socket fixed on Dan he heard it's called scratchin at the counter beneath it snapping out of his stupor dan did the only thing he could think of he raised his arm and hurled the cleaver directly at the massive eagle it was an awkward throw button and same was true it flew directly into the eagle's skull and passed through it Dan Kinnear the cleaver land on the floor behind it with a loud Dada the Inca left Sue's knees as the vision in front of them began to fade and a moment later the eagle was gone it had been a hallucination after all everything had been Dan was about to break into hysterical laughter one the lawn cracking noise came again from behind him Dan's heart skipped a beat as he realized where he had heard it before it was the sound of the freezer defrost in he still heard the buzzing sound from before as well it was a sound of electricity running through the belt in the freezer directly behind him in the abandoned butcher shop was completely functional dan took a deep breath and turned towards the freezer door he'd had enough for the night summoning that all remained of his composure he began to move slowly towards the door as he approached and and could see like gleam off of the steel door a door that looks strangely monitored in the middle of the antique side his innards felt like they had turned to eyes his Dan grabbed the handle the door and pulled it open the panel light from the streetlight outside shown just bright enough to illuminate the nightmare lurking within where large dark bags hung from the ceilings the shapes inside the bags ran after many animals then didn't scream when he said the contents of the freezer he didn't run away or drop to his knees a single thought just kept repeated in his head I knew this was coming the very second he had woken up in front of Alex means he didn't know there would be bodies in it and they couldn't be real after a few strong drinks in a probable head injury during the crash of course he was going to be seeing things the bartender's tail had done a number on him and this was the end result he had seen the bloody cleavers skeletal eagles and now a freezer full of dead bodies he had just one thing to prove and then walked for it and reached a hand out towards a large black bag Florian expecting that his hand would go right through it returning to do reality and what's the only thing to fear was the biting cold but when he thought a thin layer of plastic over what could only be a human hand the terror finally came and at that very same moment a call measured voice came from behind him you should have taken a shot it said the ROM it was drugged and then had no time to react before a lodge blow struck him on the back of his hand he fell face-first into the body bag in front of him and then collapsed under the floor reeling and paying the world around him wavered slightly the Dan remained conscious he looked up in some like the bartender illuminated by the pale light coming through the door and now it didn't lose that vote did he yes Dan and a low and distant tone his hen groped around in the darkness trying to find anything that might save him no he didn't said Mike he won in a landslide the bartender pulled something out of his bowel dan saw the shimmer of light of a blade he was my grandfather and in his memory the Malick's tavern still serves up the son a special week after week rain or shine and do they all know a Stan in a whisper the whole town some do said Mike some of them suspected but in the end nobody does anything about it dan was suddenly less annoyed then he hadn't gotten his centreline my grabbed Dan and spun him belly-up on the ground he grabbed in $200 coal by the front and ran his blade top to bottom shredding the fur in the garment before he could protest Mike could rip the heavy coat off of him leaving him defenseless against the cold I like you dad said Mike brandishing his knife so I'll give you a choice I can make it end nice and fast for you right here or I can lock you in and let you freeze to death if you want some time to make peace with things off so Dan spitting out the words and don't say I didn't try said Mike he placed a foot on Dan's chest and ready to dive it was at that very moment that Dan's handful of large heavy piece of ice in the floor beside him finding his strength that he would not have believed he could muster gain grip the ice chunk and swung it wildly in front of Emma Mike let out a loud scream as a block landed a blow directly on his kneecap the bartender collapsed to the ground next to Dan Kraske dan scrambled around and let out a wild kick at Mike's face it connected with the dull thudding like spat out blood Dan's head began to clear as he saw the open doorway with light streaming weakly through he struggled to his feet and lurched out of the freezer stumbling through the cutting room and into the main store he fell against the Conner who grabbing it for support looking behind him he saw Mike unsteadily rising to his feet looking towards the outside Dan saw a spot of shining light on the floor it was a cleaver he had thrown at the hallucination earlier Dan stood over the counter and landed roughly on the other side hearing footsteps behind him he frantically clawed past the old shelves toward the cleaver lay on top of a mound of snow near the broken windows Dindo of the last few feet and clutched the blade with both hands he rose to one knee on was about to spin around and face Mike when he heard an engine revving from outside dan froze in place not wanting to look up from the window he forced himself to look up and through the now dying blizzard two vehicles that joined his wrecked car on the lonely Street line the first was a tow truck from the tavern which was in the process of towing his car away to somewhere no one would ever find him the second was a large pickup with two men riding in the flat paddock even with his clotted vision dan could see the scoped rifles they were holding he was finished and Dan's arms went limp at his side and the Clery gave a dull clang as it struck the old tile floor dan only had to wait a moment for the calm measured voice came from behind him once more albeit in a slightly more nasal tone I really have to know now said Mike what were you going to get a no dela then stared in the blizzard for a moment then began to laugh softly Mike waited patiently as a laugh grew more frantic it took a few seconds for Dan to compose himself again it was an autographed baseball bat and said Dan tears beginning to well up in his eyes my favorite player from the local minor-league team it was in my dad's room when he died the old lady just took him I just wanted her back I understand said Mike and after her brief silence and I promise you Dan felt the tip of the knife against the back of his neck if your family stops brother tavataan the way back home I'll bury it next to what's left of you in a split second before everything went dark and Dan thought he could hear the sound of bone wings echoing through the night sky [Music] [Music]
