The Curse of the Goatish @unixrab
A Horror Story
by pantheist
Whilst investigating the death of a local goat poop scooper, a goatish goat feeder called @unixrab goat uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, goatish @unixrab circulating throughout @unixrab's goat pen. As soon as anyone uses the @unixrab, he or she has exactly 3 days left to live.

The doomed few appear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look goat bearded. A marked person feels like a goatish goat to touch.

@unixrab gets hold of the @unixrab, refusing to believe the superstition. A collage of images flash into his mind: a goat-like goat balancing on a goaty goat poop scooper, an old newspaper headline about a goat stampede accident, a hooded goat ranting about hooves and a drinking well located in a full of goats place.

When @unixrab notices his beard have goat-like properties, he realises that the curse of the goatish @unixrab is true and calls in his pet goat, a goat tender called @unixrab's goat, to help.

@unixrab's examines the @unixrab and willingly submits himself to the curse. He finds that the same visions flash before his eyes. He finds the goat-like goat balancing on a goaty goat poop scooper particularly chilling. He joins the queue for a supernatural death.

@unixrab and @unixrab's pursue a quest to uncover the meaning of the visions, starting with a search for the hooded goat. Will they be able to stop the curse before their time is up?
