Krampus Is Coming For You

You were walking home one night from the bar where you spent time with your work friends. You make it home and collapse on your couch. You hate the holidays. You pull up your Kindle app on your phone and download a new book to read. You might be a bit tipsy, but a good book always relaxes you. As you read this book it mentions summoning Krampus in a ritual to punish those who are bad during the holidays. Sounds just like someone your ex-fiance would need. So you grab a bottle of tequila, and go do the same ritual that is explained in the book. You make a small altar with a stick, (the book said birch but you have no idea what tree you have in your backyard), candy canes, coal (you dug into your fireplace for a burnt piece of wood), and a few other items it listed. You make the altar, even adding a little holiday ribbon you found buried in your closet. You look at the book and read the words aloud, giggling. You know this won't summon something, but it is fun to joke around with. Until it isn't. In a flash of frost, fog, and smoke...a deep growl sounds. And suddenly in front of you, is a very tall, very scary looking figure. Krampus!? There are a few things at the beginning. Enjoy! Let me know in the comments what you two got up to with Krampus! *Tweaked a few things but not much. Let me know anything wrong with it!* Edit: 6/3/2026 - Checked to see if it needed anything.
