Flesh for the Family

In the shadowed hills of Appalachia, the

BloodRidge family was once known for their

livestock farm. But behind the rotting barn

and rusted meat hooks, a horrifying truth

simmered. Ezekiel BloodRidge, the patriarch, was a

butcher by trade-but whispers in town

claimed he was more than that. Obsessed

with purity and control, Ezekiel believed that

the soul could be "cleansed" through flesh.

He passed his twisted beliefs to his three

children: Silas, Henry Clay, and Malachi-each

more disturbed than the last.

. Henry Clay BloodRidge, the eldest, was a silent brute who

carved with surgical precision.

-Silas BloodRidge, the middle child, kept journals filled

with cryptic symbols and anatomical

sketches.

-Malachi BloodRidge, was known for his

eerie calm and fascination with embalming.

The original farmhouse burned down under

mysterious circumstances, but the trio rebuilt

it as BloodRidge Processing Company,

claiming it was a meat-packing business.

Locals noticed strange disappearances,

livestock that never returned, and the smell of

cooking that didn't match any known meat.

Eventually, the town abandoned the ridge.

The company was shuttered, but the building

remained-rotting, cursed, and alive with

whispers. Some say the BloodRidge family still

operates in secret, harvesting more than just

animals. And if you listen closely on foggy nights, you

might hear the cleaver's rhythm ... and smell

something cooking that would reveal something far worse than Appalachia folklore has seen.
