More Symbols.

There's more of the symbols today. And they're closer to the barn now.

I've started stripping those trees of their bark. I don't know what the Hell that symbol means. But I'm not taking chances. What if that symbol attracts It?

What is with these stupid kids up here? This really isn't funny, you little shits.

Unless they're not just kids.

Unless they're really on Its side, and they have been all along.

Unless they – and It – already know where I live, and have been toying with me all this time. And I would never even have known, not until it was too late.

Call me paranoid if you want. But again, I'm not taking any chances anymore. Not where It is concerned.

As for the bark I stripped, I threw it in my fire pit and used it for kindling. I watched it catch fire and burn.
Except, it didn't burn. All it did was char.

That symbol… whatever power that symbol has because of It…

It's not of anything good or holy. It's not of God. And if it's not of God... then what in the Hell is It?
