BREAKING NEWS by Granny Annie

The members of the forestry service were task to remove the bark from a small group of trees.  They had the use of a barking drum to get the work done.  One of the workers wandered out of the designated area and they found he was barking up the wrong tree.  They had not choice but to cut down this tree.  The tree fell and a bundle bounced out.  The workers carefully opened the bundle and inside they found terrifying human remains of an arm and a leg.

  2. I did look up a barking drum and it does exist. The arm and a leg add a bit of mystery and make it more than a bit spooky. Well done.
