Thank you.
Hello listeners, and welcome to another episode of Chilling Tales for Dark Nights. I'm your host, Steve Taylor, and tonight we're taking a quiet drive far from crowded streets and glowing skylines to a place where the stars still shine bright enough to make a person wonder what's really out there. For one man, those questions begin with something missing, a patch of empty sky. Turn down the lights, settle in, and get cozy. The show is about to begin. Tonight's featured tale of terror comes to us courtesy of author Micah Edwards, performed by Malcolm Blackwood, with production by Aaron Sawicki. I present to you, Venomous.
I imagine that the folks in the city didn't see anything at all. Out here we've got fewer lights. The sky's a lot clearer at night. Gives a man something to think about, looking up at all that space. I know it's no deep philosophy, but still, every one of those stars is a sun. Maybe every one has a life. Of course, I suppose now I know at least one other one does. They must have come from somewhere.' "'Not that there was any they at first. "'I know I said that the city people must not have seen anything, "'but honestly that's all I saw too. "'Nothing where there should have been something.' I was out on the porch rocker, enjoying the night breeze and thinking my little philosophies, when I noticed that a patch of the stars just… wasn't.
There was a hole in the sky, maybe the size of my outstretched fist, where there should have been a scattering of stars. I figured it was a cloud at first, but then I saw it was moving faster than any I'd ever seen. Aside from tornadoes, I suppose, but this was nothing like a tornado. It was just a black spot where the stars weren't. Something so dark that it didn't reflect a speck of light. It was moving in a straight line across the sky, blocking out bits of stars as it went, fast and accurate as an arrow. I didn't know where it was going, but it sure looked like it did. Then I noticed there were more. All told, I counted six, and I couldn't make out a single detail on any of them. They were all identical, fist-size absences zipping by overhead.
I decided maybe there were drones. Plenty of the neighbors had seen them these days, after all. It could be some sort of contest or game. Thing is, the drones I'd seen before all had lights, and I could usually hear them whirring by, though I was on my oxygen that night, and the sound from the mask could have been hiding any noise they made. So, I told myself it was drones, but I went to bed troubled. I asked my neighbor Jimmy about it the next day. My boys been buzzing your property, he said. I warned them about that. I'll give them a talking to tonight. It won't happen again. Don't go too hard on them, Jimmy, I said. We got up to a fair bit of mischief ourselves as boys. Jimmy laughed. That's why I know I've got to nip this in the bud.
I know what I would have been like if I'd had a drone at their age. A bit of fear will do them good. I didn't hear any more about it after that. When I went out stargazing that night, there was nothing but uninterrupted sky, with no more odd black patches to disturb it. I figured that Jimmy's talking to must have had the desired effect. One of the boys, Corson, knocked on my door the next day. "'Sir, Pa told us you got buzzed by a drone. I just wanted to say it wasn't us.'
