[THE COLONY calls out from the void, a HIGH FREQUENCY MOAN that chills the spine.] [Intro Music]
[windchime rings] Good morning, brother Eric.
Good morning, brother James.
It's a fine morning.
It sure is.
Your dedication is admirable, but you've been out here for quite some time.
Maybe you should consider coming in.
What time is it?
7:30.
Already.
Time feels different when I'm out here.
Brother Eugene saved you some breakfast.
Eat as much as you like.
Thank you.
I will.
[Ominous Music]
[undulating sfx] [door opens] Brother Eric, it's good to see you at the dinner table again.
I'm heading out early today.
Leadership meeting.
Will I see you at dinner tonight?
You bet.
I look forward to it.
Good morning.
I feel like I haven't breakfasted with you in days.
I've been spending a lot of time praying outside.
They say nature brings us closer to the divine.
I'm glad you understand.
I've felt very in touch with the Lord during this week of fasting and praying.
Sometimes it's as though he's right here with me.
Like a whisper on the wind.
Yeah, I find fasting very difficult.
It can be very rewarding. [trilling sfx]
Sunday is enough for me, thanks.
The Lord appreciates all sincere offerings.
Thanks, Eric.
Well, I better finish getting ready full day ahead.
See you for dinner.
I'll see you for dinner. [footsteps, door opens/closes]
[menacing music] THE COLONY speaks in a DISTORTED voice- “Are you awake?"
[in a trance] Yes, Lord.
THE COLONY speaks in a DISTORTED voice- “Perfect"
THE COLONY speaks in a DISTORTED voice- "I have something to show you."
[in a trance] Yes, Lord.
THE COLONY speaks in a DISTORTED voice- “Right this way."
[door opens] [crows caw]
[ominous music]
Are those truffles?
[sifting through dirt]
I should cook with these.
[crows fly away]
[THE COLONY calls out from the void, a HIGH FREQUENCY MOAN that chills the spine.]
THE COLONY speaks in a DISTORTED voice- “I see you."
[undulating and trilling sfx]
Good night.
[sfx fade]
[a radio plays an old-time tune] [sounds of chopping] [front door opens, footsteps] Mmm, brother Eric, you've outdone yourself.
I felt inspired and wanted to do something special for everyone.
This is all very thoughtful.
Thank you.
[footsteps approach] Hey guys.
Smells good.
I love mushrooms.
[chair pushes away from the table] [Eugene slaps his belly] That was wonderful.
I'm so full.
Well, thank you very much. I'm glad you all liked it.
[mysterious music]
[owl hoots]
[door opens]
[Music]
THE COLONY whispers in a DISTORTED voice- “I see you."
[multiple people snoring]
[musical flourish]
[light grunting, shifting in bed]
[THE COLONY calls out from the void, a HIGH FREQUENCY MOAN that chills the spine.]
[attack music] [James coughing, gasping for air]
[Eugene enters] Hey, what's all the...?
Oh my god, James!
Please. Help.
[gasping for air, dragging body] [coughing violently]
[attack music recedes] [James collapses] [Eric enters] Eric, help.
[attack music swells] [in a trance] Yes, Lord.
I can't, I can't breathe!
The Lord appreciates all sincere offerings.
[James dies] [undulating and trilling sfx build]
[in a trance] Yes, Lord.
[heavy footsteps] [back door opens] [body being dragged through the yard]
[Music] - “Oma…” [basement door opens] [ominous music]
THE COLONY speaks in a DISTORTED voice- “Right this way. I have something to show you."
[in a trance] Yes, Lord.
THE COLONY speakes in a DISTORTED voice- "I call it REBIRTH"
[in a trance] Yes, Lord.
THE COLONY speaks in a DISTORTED voice- “Don’t worry."
"I’ll take care of you."
[furnace room door opens] [otherworldy sounds emanate from within]
[groteque bubbling sounds] [the sound of a body parts hitting a thick, slime-like substance]
[in a trance] The Lord appreciates all sincere offerings.
[mysterious music]
Oh, dang! How long have I been out here?
Ah, I'm so sore!
Oh, I'm hungry.
What on earth?
Ow!
Are these blisters?
[walking around] Hello?
Hello?
Fella's?
Y’all home?
Hello?
Anyone? Hello!
Where is everybody?
I guess they're gone for the day.
I better get a move on.
