The Pencil Gerblin

By Lachlan Koechly-Williams

This is not your typical theory. This is a forbidden truth. A truth meant to be the last thing you hear before he gets you. Who’s he you ask? The PENCIL GERBLIN.

“ Where's my pencil?” Lachlan asks. “ It was right here!” Then, she heard a mischievous giggle behind her.

"Who took my pencil??” Amelia questioned, swiveling her head from side to side, trying to catch the culprit. All she saw was a sinister shadow darting out the door.

You might have heard of the OS-Cage. But what is it made of? Metal? Plastic? Souls? No. The OS-Cage is made entirely out of pencils. Pencils scavenged from the unknowing cases of innocent students. The pencil gerblin saves the souls of those who have lost those lives among these hallowed halls only to imprison them far under the ground to live FOREVER . 

You can find the OS-Cage if you drop a pencil of sacrifice down the recess storm drain and tap the bricks in Fibonacci sequence. It will open and a path shall appear. With a shadowy figure. 

What's the shadowy figure you ask? 

...THE PENCIL GERBLIN.
