Listen to it whenever you want to :)Episode 229 Blobster | A Creepypasta Creature Feature
TranscriptGood evening, it's Spooky Boo coming to you from the KSND radio station at the lighthouse in Sandcastle, California. You know, there is something to be said about those old creature feature movies, you know, the monster movies that started the whole genre of horror and suspense? Here in Sandcastle, it tends to be a way of life to come across these everyday monsters and that is why I urge you to never come here for you may never return to sanity or reality because of these monsters.This Creepypasta story Blobster by Johnathan Nash is just like one of those movies so beware! Even in the depths of the internet you are not safe nor are you safe in Sandcastle.Now let's begin...BlobsterWritten by JohnathanNashAmber was admiring the sunset as she walked along the beach. It was her nightly routine, a way to clear her mind from the events of the day. She was always an active person, so it had upset her that she had to take a job behind a desk. Not only that, but looking at a computer screen for hours made her eyes tired. It was when she could hardly stay awake on the drive home that she realized she needed to do something else. If she had known that being a marine biologist would mean sitting behind a desk so much, she would have chosen a different career path.She was almost to her turnaround point, an old wharf that had been mostly reclaimed by the waves, when she saw something lying on the sand. At first she thought it was a huge pile of trash, but as she got closer she could tell it was some kind of organic matter. This caused her to jog over to it, fearing that a baby whale had washed ashore. When she got to it she saw it clearly wasn’t a baby whale, or anything she had ever seen before.The thing was a huge mass of flesh, over twenty feet long. Thick black-brown skin encased it like an armor. There was no discernible difference from its body or head, it was just a large barrel shaped blob of meat and tissue. It was definitely organic though, Amber had no doubt about that.Her heart started to beat like a drum, as she got close enough to touch it. This could be a perfect find, a find that could propel her career. With only being on the work force for three months, she would really be making a name for herself. Her first reaction was to call Raoul, tell him what she found, and go from there.“Hey,” Raoul answered. “Finally decided that going out to dinner with me would be a good idea?”A smile broke across Amber’s lips. She liked Raoul, he was a good looking man that could make her laugh easily. But for some reason, she had always brushed off his offers to take her out. She always told herself that it was because he was only playing with her, but she knew that wasn’t true. The truth was that she enjoyed playing with men, she always had.“No,” she said chuckling, “I think you should come over here though, I have something I want to show you.”“Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're inviting me to your house already, but you won’t let me take you on a date? That’s a first. I mean, I’m fine with it if that’s what you wanna do.”“It’s not like that, you don’t have a chance.” She chuckled again to ensure he knew it was all in good fun. “I found something on the beach and I don’t know what it is. I was hoping that maybe you could help me identify it.”“Is it treasure? I’ve always wanted to find treasure on the beach, but those damn pirates never hid their treasure where it’s easy to find.”“No, it’s not treasure. At least not the kind you’re thinking of. It’s some kind of animal that washed ashore. I don’t know what it is, or how to deal with it. For all I know, it could be a new species.”“Really? Nice, I’m on the way.”And with that they got off the phone. Amber was thinking about how nice Raoul had been to her since she started working at the aquarium. He was her senior, but he never made her bored or put too much stress on her. In fact, everyone in the aquatic health department had a good disposition, and Amber thought it was because of Raoul.He had always treated his coworkers well, but he always favored the opposite sex. Of the six females that worked with him, at the same pay grade or below at least, Amber was the only one he hadn’t slept with. In his mind she would succumb to his charm before the end of the quarter. So, when she called him over to her house he figured she would give it up.By the time he arrived, the sun had completely faded into the sea, so at first he only saw the shadow of a massive thing, next to the shadow of a person. With their phones they were able to examine the creature on the beach a little before Raoul gave it a name.“This is a blobster,” he said. “I’ve never seen one before, but I’ve heard about them. They are normally just the carcass of a whale that washes ashore. Although, this one is rather large and doesn’t smell like it is decomposing. I’mma call some other people and we’ll get this back to our lab. Looks like you and I are going to be doing something other than looking at bacteria tomorrow.”He flashed her a quick smile then walked off to make his call. In minutes he was back with her, standing next to the body.“I called Johnny, Rachael, and Dennis to come help us move this thing. Knowing them, they will show up with a group of people each and a couple of kegs. So, it’s fine if you come in late tomorrow.” He gave her a wink and she smiled.Raoul went back to the blobster and examined it with the flashlight of his phone.“This is kind of strange though,” he said as he rubbed his hand across it. “Whale skin is thick, it has to be, but this feels more like an exoskeleton than the skin of a whale. See how the skin is rough and rigid, even with the barnacles a whale’s skin isn’t like that.”They waited for an hour before the first of their coworkers, Rachael, showed up. She gave Raoul a hug, and for a brief moment, Amber thought she gave her a look of disdain before hugging her as well. She called back to the bank she climbed over and another three people came walking over the hill. Two of them were carrying coolers, the other had flashlights.“So, this is the carcass that washed up,” Rachael said pointing the beam of her flashlight on it.“Sure is,” Amber replied. “You want to see it up close?”“Honey, I’m going to be helping you move this thing, I’ll have plenty of time to get a close-up look at it.” She changed her attention to Raoul once more. “So, who else is coming?”Raoul reached into one of the coolers and pulled out a beer.“Johnny and Dennis.”“Great,” Rachael said. “Every time Johnny comes around he drinks all my beer. Not only that, he brings shit that he knows I won’t drink, so he doesn’t have to share with me.”Johnny and Dennis arrived shortly after, and, as Raoul predicted, each had brought a keg with them. Not only did they bring more beer, which was a relief to Rachael because she didn’t have enough for everyone, but they also brought five friends with them. Bringing their total to eighteen people to move the blobster.Johnny was carrying a huge canvas tarp, which he threw on the ground when he got to the party waiting by the blobster.“What’s up guys,” he said giving everyone a hug. “I didn’t think I’d be seeing you guys again tonight. Just thought it was going to be these guys.” He spun around to point at the people that came with him, his dreadlocks whipping around with his head.Raoul told them the same thing about not being on time in the morning. Johnny and Dennis started laying out the tarp so the group could push the carcass onto it. They had heard it worked before, so they figured it was worth a shot.“Wow,” Dennis said, as he tried to gage the blobster’s mass. “Do you really think we are going to be able to move this thing by ourselves?”“Should be,” Raoul said.Amber finished her first beer and was feeling ready for this. But before they got started they all decided that another beer would be best. That turned into two, which turned into five.“Arg,” Rachael said, “this thing is disgusting. I should have brought some gloves, I’m going to be cleaning this slime off my hands for a week.”At first they tried to move all of the remains onto the tarp at once. Everyone was spaced so they could have the entire thing being pushed at once. But after the first few tries of that, they decided it would be easier to try and move it by halves. The water was lapping at their sneakers, which caused Rachael to complain about that.“Damnit,” she said, “these sneakers are new. Now I’m going to have to wash them and shoes never feel the same after they are washed. And…and, we’ve been pushing at this thing for at least an hour now, have we made any progress? No, it’s still a massive carcass sitting in the exact same place. You guys may be enjoying this, but I’m certainly not.”Amber rolled her eyes when Rachael started talking. Johnny walked away to the keg, making it look like he was going to refill h
